The beauty industry annually releases many new personal care products for women. The epilator for the intimate zone is no exception, because, unlike a razor, it makes the skin truly smooth and well-groomed, and also avoids minor cuts and irritation.
Epilator selection: advantages and disadvantages
To make it seem smooth and velvety in the most delicate places, an epilator for the intimate zone and armpits will help. In order for it to serve for a long time, working properly and not leaving ingrown hairs after the procedure, you need to choose the right nozzles, mode and design of the product. After hair removal, the hairs will begin to grow in three to four weeks and will be softer and more obedient than after shaving. The only drawback of this procedure is the soreness, especially for delicate areas such as bikinis and armpits. It is quite simple to get rid of discomfort, you just need to buy a cooling mitten with a special gel or a device with an integrated nozzle for supplying cold air.
The principle of operation of the epilator
It consists in cleansing the skin of unwanted hair. The procedure takes place thanks to special rotating discs that grab the hair at the root and, like tweezers, pull it out. Depending on the manufacturer, the number of discs can be from twenty to forty pairs.
In addition, the models differ from each other in speed and number of modes. Beauticians recommend purchasing a female epilator for
a bikini zone, working in water, as hairs are removed more easily and quickly from steamed, soft skin. However, the price of such products is higher, because they are equipped with a waterproof battery and a protective case. Additional modes and functions are created to facilitate the hair removal process. Built-in lighting allows you to clearly see the problem areas, and hair removal will be better. The peeling function makes the skin well-groomed and delicate due to the fact that the roughened areas of the epidermis are carefully removed. In addition, the peeling procedure prevents the appearance of ingrown hair.
Epilator female Philips HP 6522/01
Affordable, but, despite this, a very high-quality and durable epilator model. The advantage of this device is the ability to choose one of the two most suitable functions for shaving or hair removal. In addition, the kit has a special glove for peeling, which, like the device, is perfectly washed under running water. Philips HP 6522/01 is equipped with a “Skin Care” system and hypoallergenic discs coated with silver ions, which cleanse the dermis as much as possible and prevent the possibility of irritation and ingrown hairs.
