Small, easy to transport and economical, the electric epilator has changed a lot in recent years. It is no longer synonymous with terrible pain. The different models offered on the market adapt to the area to be depilated. There are epilators specially dedicated to the jersey with massaging heads and a rapid rotation system to avoid pain. Offering many benefits, they can be used anywhere, at home or while traveling. The hairs are torn out, unlike the razor which cuts them. Like waxing, the hair then takes longer to grow back. It takes about two to three weeks. Also be aware that it is wiser to buy a quality model. It will follow you for years, and will be much more economical in the long run. For sensitive areas such as the bikini line or the armpits, take an easily washable model for impeccable hygiene. There are also models that can be used directly in the shower. Practical, they work with a battery. This system is particularly interesting, because the heat makes it possible to open the pores and therefore to remove hair without pain.
Caution, sensitive area! Waxing the bikini line requires taking a few precautions! If you have very sensitive skin, this technique is not for you. Ditto if you have many moles in this area. Be aware that it is also not recommended to use an electric epilator after exposure to the sun, even if there is little risk of getting a sunburn on the pubis unless you are a naturist… Do not panic if you see small red dots appear after waxing. This is completely normal, especially during the first few uses. You will gradually get used to it, and you will feel less and less pain.
Know that it is important to prepare the area well before embarking on bikini waxing. Your skin should be clean and cleansed. This intimate part being particularly prone to infections, it is important to also use a clean electric epilator. To pull out the hair more easily, exfoliate just before to remove dead skin. But be careful, this area being sensitive, the exfoliation must be gentle. This technique is also effective in combating ingrown hairs. As we said before, heat expands the pores. You can take a hot shower just before. Finally, let's be honest:bikini waxing always hurts a little. So, to reduce pain, use the hot-cold effect. Apply an ice cube directly after using the epilator to anesthetize the skin!
