Epilators and Tweezing – Hair Removal

Tweezing is a great way to maintain your eyebrows between waxing treatments. When tweezing between treatments, make sure that you don’t get too close to the eyebrow, you want to grab just the strays. It is difficult to do an initial shaping or maintain the shape of your eyebrows by just tweezing. When tweezing, it’s easy to pluck the wrong hairs, or go too thin and give yourself uneven eyebrows.
Epilators are, in essence, “electric tweezers”. They might be called tweezers, but they are not meant to be used on facial hair. Epilators work like a razor (don’t use it in the shower ladies), but the results are like waxing.
How the epilator works:
An electric razor looking device, the epilator, has small springs instead of razor blades. When you turn on the epilator and run it over your skin, the springs will grab many hairs at once and pull the hairs out at the root.
Tips:
Numb your skin with ice before you begin, and hope it really numbs it.
For best results. make sure your hair is min. 1/4″ long.
Go over the area a few times for smoother, silkier skin.
Moisturize you’re skin between sessions (if there is more then one), to prevent irriation and ingrown hairs.

epilators use multiple tweezers to remove hair form the root. they can be used on the facial hair. Some manufacturers such as Emjoi have smaller head opening like their Epi Slim that can be used on the upper lip, facial hair and chin hair. I find the smaller opening easier to use when doing my underarm and the bikini line. There are units out there that use “springs” but those when used REALLY HURT.
results from epilating are better than waxing, no mess and still leaves the skin smooth and silky,.
