Wet and dry epilator

If you are looking for a wet and dry epilator then you may be surprised just how relatively few there are compared to the amount of dry epilators on sale. Although there are more of these on the market compared to a few years ago, this type of epilator is still in the minority.

Best wet and dry epilator

 

You may also have to be aware that the term wet and dry may have a slightly different meaning from each manufacturer or even their make and models.

Not all wet and dry epilators can be used to epilate your body while it is submerged under water; some models can only be used on wet skin and some can be used under running water but not while the epilator is actually submerged under the water.

Why use a wet and dry epilator?

You have the best of both worlds. You can use it wet when you first start to epilate, relaxing in warm water can help your nerves and reduce pain and it may also be kinder on your skin. Once you have become accustomed to wet epilation, you can also try using it dry. Using your epilator on dry skin helps it grab hold of the hairs more easily so removing more hairs in one pass. Also using the epilator in water puts slightly more strain on the motor and in so doing can reduce the amount of charge in the battery more quickly.

Using an epilator is probably not the most pleasant experience you can think of and anything that could help to relax and reduce the discomfort can only be a good thing, especially to those of you who are new to epilating.

We all know that taking a long hot soak in a bath can be very relaxing. It can help to release tension and help sooth aching muscles. This is the perfect state to be in when you come to use your epilator. The warm water can help to open the pores of your skin, helping to reduce discomfort while aiding hair removal.

Using shower gel or your favourite shaving oil or cream will help the epilator to glide more easily over your skin This may also help those of you with more sensitive skin who find dry epilating far too uncomfortable. Some women have found that epilating in warm water helps to reduce redness.
In a recently conducted study, women were asked to epilate using both wet and dry epilators. Results showed that almost two thirds of the women, 63% in fact, favoured wet epilation, finding that wet epilation was gentler to the skin.

So, if you are considering purchasing your first epilator or replacing an older model then it may be worth considering a  wet and dry epilator . They may be slightly more expensive than other epilators but the benefits they offer in my opinion are well worth the price.
