Choosing the best epilator
Choosing an epilator can, at first, seem like an impossible task. I guess it is tempting
to take a stab in the dark choose a particular model, cross your fingers, and go
with that. But if you decide the features you need right from the start, you will
make the process far easier and hopefully get the best epilator for you. I Hope this
article will break the process down and give you some questions to ask when making
your decision.
Set your budget.
It is probably best to work out how much you are willing to pay. Like the old saying
goes cheapest is not always best. Some of the cheaper epilators on the market can
be poorly made and could work out to be more expensive in the long run. If you stick
to the well known makes and models such as Braun and Philips you cant go far wrong.
Wet and dry epilator
Do you have sensitive skin? If so then there are a range of epilators on the market
that may help. Braun for example produce a range that can work in or under water,
these are commonly known as wet and dry epilator. Using an epilator in the bath or
shower can help you relax before you epilate They may also be good for those of you
who are just starting out or those of you with more sensitive skin types.
Cord or cordless?
A cordless epilator can give you much more freedom than a wired one. There are no
wires to get tangled and neither do you have to be close to a mans socket. On the
other hand if you forget to charge the battery you may have a long frustrating
wait before you are able to use it. Take a look at our article best cordless epilator.
Look out for special features.
Lots of manufactures incorporate special features into their designs, some of these
will be nothing more than gimmicks while others can be a real benefit when you start
to epilate. Look out for things like:
Speed settings.
Slower speed settings can be used on the more sensitive parts of your body such as
your under arms or upper lip. You may also use a slower speed setting is great when
you first start to epilate and are perhaps a little nervous. when you first start
to use an epilator See are article on epilating underarms.
Attachments.
Many Manufacturers include some very useful attachments such as smaller epilating
heads that can be used to epilate your upper lip and other parts of your face. They
may also include shaver/trimmer attachments that can be very useful for shaving those
longer hairs before you start to epilate. You will probably pay more for these extras
that you may never use, so it’s worth considering if they really are something you
are going to make regular use of.
Lights
Some epilators have inbuilt lights that can be very useful to highlight any fine
hairs that you may otherwise have missed.
Read the best epilator reviews.
There is nothing like first hand experience to really get a feel of just what the
product is like. But unfortunately it is not always possible to use or even hold
the item you intend to buy. One other great method to find out if the item you have
short listed really is the best epilator for you is to read the reviews from customers.
These people have actually purchased and used the item and in most cases will give
honest and accurate opinions.
