Facial epilator

Facial hair is a concern not only for men, but also for women - every third lady over the age of 25 faces a similar problem. Thin, but such noticeable hairs are especially often seen treacherously above the upper lip, less often on the chin or forehead, and the epilator for the face can cope with them - a compact device for safe facial care.

The epilator for the face allows you to further adjust the shape of the eyebrow (as a model Brown Face) or epilate the most sensitive areas of the body (bikini area and armpits, as a model Tweeze).

A facial epilator is a compact device for removing hair from the follicle and is either electric or mechanical.

A facial epilator in the classic sense is an electric device with a small head and tweezers to capture hairs and remove them for a period of 2-4 weeks. The ideal challenger Brown Face, the world's first facial epilator. Alas, a conventional machine for working on the face will not work (the exception is a special nozzle for processing the face in the kit), because:

• Facial hair is usually short and/or too fine (0.02-0.05 mm). A regular head with discs or tweezers just won't grab them;
• The head itself has impressive dimensions compared to the area above the upper lip - it simply “does not fit” in size;
• Facial skin is particularly sensitive and will not tolerate the aggressive action of body epilator tweezers. Special models for the face have a much smaller number of tweezers, and they themselves are much smaller;
• Body epilators are too painful (especially the 40-tweezer models) even with the pain-relieving facial vibrating cap, its strokes will be too aggressive.

It is known that the classic epilator for facial hair removal is not suitable - it is too bulky for this small area, inconvenient to use and not suitable in general. A special epilator for the face has the following advantages:

• The smaller epilating head allows you to remove hair from any small areas - above the upper lip, chin, above and below the eyebrows;
• It has an elongated shape (reminiscent of a pen) and is convenient for point use;
• It removes hair with a bulb and guarantees smooth skin for 2-4 weeks without stubble (new hairs grow softer and finer);
• More efficient than tweezers. For one revolution of the head of the machine, about 100-200 hairs are removed (depending on the model).

Each manufacturer defines its own mandatory set, for example, brand Brown offers a whole arsenal of accessories for the epilator for the face - a brush for cleansing pores and removing makeup.

The epilator for the face has several disadvantages, which are also worth mentioning:

• "Gives" painful sensations, like any other method of epilation.Recall that the essence of the process is the artificial removal of the hair along with the bulb and the violation of the texture of the follicle so that the new hairs grow thinner and softer;
• Causes irritation. It depends on the individual characteristics of the skin. In any case, epilation should be carried out in the evening, so that the skin has time to recover overnight, and the irritation subsides;
• May cause ingrown hairs. The reason for their formation is the peculiarities of the skin, improper preparation and conduct of the procedure, or inadequate care for the epidermis after;
• Small selection of models.

If you want to get an effective and reliable female epilator for hair removal, choose an electric one. If the price of these models bites, the only way out is to buy a mechanical analogue of the "spring".

The choice of epilators for the face is now very small, to be precise, there is one worthy product on the market - Brown Face and one Chinese Tweeze. The manufacturer of the latter says that his epilator can be used for both face and body, and the price of the device allows you to try this know-how on yourself.

If you want to get a complete facial treatment, choose Brown Face with an additional brush head for pore cleansing and make-up removal. If body care is also important and you want to “kill two birds with one stone” at once, stop by the classic epilator for the body with a facial limiter attachment (like Braun Silk-epil 9-558 Wet&Dry, SE 7931, Philips SC2006).

The world's first epilator for the face, created by the legendary German brand. It is especially famous for body epilators and hair stylers and beauty devices in general.Epilators from Braun always keep up with the times and are made of the latest materials and are equipped with the manufacturer's unique developments - thin long tweezers, "fingers" for lifting hairs and convenient lighting.

Facial epilator from Braun 2 in 1 is a painless and effective hair removal and additional skin care - pore cleansing and make-up removal. The brushes included in the kit and a removable nozzle for them provide high-quality deep or gentle cleansing of pores and the best work of skin care products - cream, serum, and even a regular tonic. It is known that cosmetic products are better absorbed into the previously cleansed surface of the dermis without a "dead" layer of cells and with ajar pores.

A mechanical (manual) epilator is a compact mechanism, a pair of springs on the handle.The essence of his work is to run these springs along the hairs against the growth of the latter. Not only is this process time-consuming, it is also painful, leading to redness and irritation of the skin. Manual epilator De. co does not remove hair pointwise, like the first analogue, but has an undoubted advantage - a low price in the region of 200 rubles.

It is an electrical device with a non-removable head and a tweezer method of operation. The device has a narrow head and tweezers close to each other for high-quality capture of short and thin hair. It is effective in its work and inexpensive - about 400 rubles, does not leave traces of hair removal. They can remove facial hair and use for the body - Tweeze does an excellent job with the bikini area and armpits, but they will have to epilate their legs for a long time.

The electric facial epilator is easy to use:

1. Pre-cleanse the skin - wash with the usual foam or gel to cleanse and open the pores. It is advisable to epilate after taking a bath or shower, when the pores are steamed and ready to “give up” the hairs;
2. It is advisable to use a scrub - it will remove the keratinized layer of cells and free the hairs, lift them;
3. Blot the wet surface of the skin with a towel and dry it naturally;
4. Move the working head of the epilator against hair growth slowly, from the bottom up, do not press the machine;
5. Walk over one area 1-2 times against the growth of hairs and no more than 3-4 repetitions, otherwise irritation cannot be avoided;
6. After the process is completed, wipe the skin with a soothing tonic without alcohol, you can use hydrogen peroxide, herbal decoction. It is necessary to apply the liquid with light blotting movements, do not rub;
7. Then apply a moisturizing or soothing cream (with chamomile, aloe, calendula) and use it every time after hair removal.

Beauticians recommend epilating the face in the evening - if it was not possible to immediately avoid irritation, it can go away on its own overnight - it is enough to soothe the skin with a tonic and apply a moisturizer. Any burn cream will help remove severe irritation from the face - "Rescuer", "Panthenol", "Bepanten".

Manual epilator "Spring" works on a different principle: attach springs to your face and move the handle from bottom to top or against hair growth. "Spring" works well with vellus hair above the eyebrows or upper lip, but correcting the shape of the eyebrows with it is rather unpredictable.

Each facial epilator has its pros and cons. Modern women prefer a special model from Brown – convenient, compact and not cheap. Among its advantages, consumers note efficiency - hair is removed along with the bulb, almost painless and easy to use on the most sensitive areas of the face - above the upper lip and under the eyebrows. By the way, the model Brown perfectly corrects the shape of the eyebrow and removes fluffy hairs so quickly and almost imperceptibly.

If we talk about electric models, we can not fail to note more budget analogues like Tweeze – a compact epilator with a small tweezer head. It is inexpensive and does a good job with facial hair, but it is difficult to find real reviews about the model.

There are also a lot of reviews about mechanical “springs” - they are suitable for dealing with invisible vellus hair and are inexpensive, despite their primitiveness, they do an excellent job with hairs and give skin smoothness for 2-4 weeks.Among the shortcomings of a mechanical spring-type epilator, women note the impossibility of correcting the shape of the eyebrows - the spring does not act pointwise, but “cuts” all the hairs that come across.

Which epilator is better for women is impossible to say. One thing is clear that the most efficient in operation are electrical, affordable are mechanical. If facial hair does not bother you so much, a mechanical epilator or regular tweezers will suffice. If the hair above the upper lip or chin is a real problem, an electric epilator is indispensable.
