Now that summer is swiftly approaching it’s time to break out of those cool weathered clothes and show some skin! But before you hop into those summertime sundresses and swimsuits you’ve gotta make sure that your skin is ready to be seen. Personally, I’ve tried just about everything when it comes to removing unwanted hair and have yet to decide on just which method I like best. I was recently approached with the opportunity to try out an Epilator by Braun. I have to admit that I was totally clueless as to what exactly an epilator was because I had honestly never heard of it until now.
An epilator is basically an electronic device that removes unwanted hair by simultaneously grasping multiple hairs and pulling them out at once. You can think of it as a dozen tiny tweezers all working at the same time.The epilator that I got to try out is the Braun Silk-epil 7. The cool thing about this model is that it can be used either wet or dry. The device claims that it’s able to remove the shortest of hairs even as tiny as a grain of sand. It features 40 tweezers with a close-grip technology for thorough hair removal. It’s also cordless! All you have to do is charge it and its ready for use. If you’ve never used an epilator before I would suggest checking out Braun’s epilation page which has a lot of helpful information!
Glow: I’m not sure where to even start other than this little device is simply amazing and oh so powerful! Braun also sells different attachment caps separately that can be used on different areas of your body such as underarms, bikini area and even your face! Since this particular model only comes with the standard caps I only used it on my legs. The epilator can be used dry or wet so I decided to test it on one leg completely dry and the other leg in the shower. Upon initial use it took a minute or two to get the hang of figuring out which direction was best to use the device. This all depends on what direction your hair grows in, which can sometimes vary. So I found that what worked best for me was simply an upward and downward motion. The hair came off effortlessly on both legs. The epilator has a dial wheel that powers the device on and it has 2 different settings; extra gentle and extra efficient. It also has a smart light that stays on while the device is in use which helps you see every hair. I like that it’s very easy to clean, the attachment caps come apart and the small brush that comes with it allows you to get in all the corners to remove the stray hairs.

From my point of view, an epilator is the best solution to remove unwanted hair, besides the permanent hair removal method, which, right now it is too expensive for me. My perfect epilator is Braun Silk Epil 7 7681.

Braun Silk Epil 7681 is an excellent choice. It's the best epilator out there and it has a dedicated facial cap so you can definitely use it to remove facial hair. And you will only have to use it once every two weeks.

I suppose we have all heard the horror stories about using an epilator. Can they really be that bad? Were epilators made by men to torture us women? Nicki
