Women's Grooming

Tired of waxing and shaving all the time? Electric razors, epilators and trimmers for women can provide salon-grade hair removal, all in the comfort of your own home. Choosing the right hair removal method really comes down to a number of factors, we’ll walk you through these factors below.

Women’s Grooming: Finding the Right Hair Removal Method for You

1. Effective hair removal will depend on your hair and skin type. While electric trimmers and razors are versatile enough to work on all women, other methods—like laser and IPL—are not suitable for those with red, blonde, light or white/grey hair, or very dark skin.
2. Want flawless skin even while you’re on holiday? With an epilator, you can have smooth skin in 10 minutes that can last for up to three weeks, and comes with additional attachments for your underarms and bikini line.
3. Can’t afford professional laser treatment? IPL at home can provide safe and effective hair removal at half the price, emitting light energy to stun the hair follicle in order to prevent regrowth.
4. Find a hair removal method that’s able to meet your pain threshold. Epilators pull out hair directly from the root, which might affect those with sensitive skin, while laser and IPL can give you a slight prickling or burning sensation. Over time, though, you should build up more tolerance.
5. Some hair removal methods work great for the short term, while others last much longer. Epilators, trimmers and electric razors for women can tidy up key areas like underarms and bikini lines, while laser and IPL treatment can provide up to six months of smooth skin.
6. Prefer to shave in the shower? Wet and dry epilators can be especially gentle on sensitive skin, and are ergonomically shaped to fit the curves of your body. They also do a good job of targeting those fine hairs.
7. Create perfect eyebrows and remove peach fuzz with a small and stylish facial epilator. Shaped like a lipstick, it’s compact enough to fit in your handbag and is gentle on skin, leaving little-to-no redness or irritation. Get your skin summer ready.
