Evenings are the right time for epilation; you’re more relaxed, and any minor bumps will be gone by the morning. The preparation includes exfoliation in a warm shower. It will leave your skin clean and relaxed and helps to reduce those dreaded in-grown hairs. Use an exfoliation scrub or mitt, or we recommend our Braun Silk Epil SkinSpa exfoliating brush for 4x better results than a manual peeling.
When epilating, hold your epilator so that it feels natural. Hold at a 90 degree angle to your legs and run the epilator in an upward motion, against the direction of hair growth. There’s no need to press down too hard, simply touch the epilator lightly on the skin. Braun Silk Epil’s cooling glove and massaging rollers help to minimise discomfort, and with regular use, epilation becomes virtually painless.
The golden rule is to moisturise after epilation, not before. Apply body lotion for better results and get set for soft, silky skin in the morning.

I bought this epilator to save me from having to shave on a regular basis, mostly under arms, chest and torso/abdomen. Used according to the instructions the epilator is very effective. I would point out a couple of things, that is the hair on my pubic area, which was never too strong, has not re-grown to any significant degree, so full marks to Braun for that. However, on the other hand, using the device on my genitals is very painful, particularly on my scrotum. Using the epilator on the base of my penis is also very painful, so I just keep shaving these areas. Otherwise great for legs, buttocks, chest, esp nipples and armpits.
I am really pleased with this Epilator especially as I got it at such a great price compared to other retailers. The product itself comes with interchangeable heads and can be used to shave or epilate anywhere on your body! I found it doesn't tug as much as other branded ones! Shavers is a great company to use, it was really easy to place the order and it arrived really quickly. There is also the ability to track your order and Shavers communicate really well with the order status. I recommend the product and the company to others.
Is a very decent epilator, I like the smaller head for intimate areas. Its not as quite as expected and is annoying you can not turn of the light if its not needed. I would recommend, I feel its good value for the price.
