If you've ever got fed up of coping with hairy legs in the summertime, there's one more option you might want to consider trying. If you like the idea of being able to get rid of those unwanted hairs without having to shave every few days, epilating might be the answer.
An epilator offers a way to create hair-free legs for weeks at a time, far easier and less time consuming that using creams or having your legs waxed regularly.
What does an epilator do ?
It's basically a clever device that has the effect of tweezing our all your hairs as you run it along on your skin.
The Philips Satinelle Ice
This is a compact epilator produced by Philips to help reduce the pain usually felt when epilator. The ice attachment is designed to numb the skin sufficiently.
When using for the first time, it's not really a good idea to try it on legs which have a full growth of hair - instead try it about two to four weeks after your normal treatment, when there's a few hairs regrowing.
It's easy to use, easy to clean and compact enough to take on holiday with you (don't forget an adapter if you're traveling to another country).
One thing some people just can't get used to is the discomfort as it tweezes your hairs out - this varies from person to person - so it's something that you'll have to try for yourself. Hence it's worth buying a model with a money-back guarantee. Be careful of the conditions and be sure to keep all the packaging and your receipt until you've made your mind up whether to keep it or not.
Concluding Thoughts
Whilst it's not the cheapest solution, it offers a long-term solution that is easily managed both at home and on holiday. For a one-off investment, you're saving the ongoing cost of visits to the Beauty Salon or purchasing creams and waxing strips.
Hair growth becomes slower and your regrowth hairs are smoother meaning that you don't have to shave as often.
All in all, if you can bear the initial discomfort, this is the only choice for convenience, cost and appearance.
