The epilator has become a sought after tool in the fight against unwanted hair. What you may not have realized, or simply been too nervous to try, is that the epilator can be used very effectively on facial hair.
Understand how the Epilator Works
You can choose whether to use a corded or battery operated epilator; both types work in the same way. Of course, the cordless version is more portable; you can walk round whilst removing that unwanted facial hair! You simply roll the epilator across your face; it is effective even if you have sensitive skin. The head of the device is made up of a number of small tweezers. These grab your hair as your move it across your skin and pull it out from the root. Because it is being removed from the root it will take much longer to grow back than if you shave or even try waxing your unwanted hair. There is some pain involved as you are effectively plucking your hair. However, many users say that the process is less painful the more times you do it. It can also help to purchase a wet and dry epilator as this will enable you to complete the process in the bath which is less painful. Of course, this may be difficult if you are doing facial hair or your upper lip!How to Choose the Right Model
