What is an epilator?
An epilator is an electric device that removes hair from the root, ensuring long-lasting smoothness. Choosing a women's epilator is a practical alternative to hair removal at a beauty salon. Modern electric epilators are efficient, gentle and suitable for many areas of the body.

How does an electric epilator work?
The head of women's epilators contains rotating tweezers that grip and remove many hairs at the same time. Some devices, such as Braun epilators, are waterproof. You can use them on dry or wet skin. If you epilate in the shower, you benefit from greater comfort and a reduction in the sensation created by the action of the tweezers.

What are the benefits of an electric epilator for women?
Braun epilators leave your skin smooth for several weeks. Since hairs are removed from the root rather than cut at skin level as with a razor, they take longer to grow back. When you buy a women's electric epilator, you are making a long-term investment. You no longer need to regularly book appointments at a beauty salon or purchase wax strips, replacement blades or shaving gel. Using a Braun electric epilator is simple: you can use it whenever and wherever you want, even away from home if needed. Using an epilator also reduces the risk of skin irritation that occurs more frequently with a razor. Read this article to find out even more about the benefits of electric epilators.

How do you use an electric epilator?
To optimise your epilation results, start with a gentle exfoliation of the area to be epilated. This skin care step reduces the risk of ingrown hairs as dead cells are removed, making it easier to access the hairs. Just before epilating, make sure your skin is perfectly clean. Choose whether to epilate on dry or wet skin according to your preference. In either case, the massage rollers that precede the tweezers prepare the skin for epilation. To maximise your comfort, gently stretch the skin and move the epilator slowly in the opposite direction to hair growth. When you are done, apply a moisturising treatment to your skin to soothe any redness. If you have further questions, find out more in our article on the basics of epilation.
