Hi and welcome to another honest video and today I'm going to talk about using an Epolytor for hair removal. Now if you've not heard of an Epolytor before, all it is is a cluster of retating tweezer blades sit at the top of this little device here and retake really really quickly. So all the time they're plucking the hairs from your skin on mass and if that sounds painful it's because it is and that's the first point that I would make if you've got a low pain threshold then this probably isn't the hair removal device for you. That said I've been using mine for about 20 years now and I can tell you that over time this becomes significantly less painful as you get used to it. If you continue to use it then the idea is the hairs become easier to remove as you go because the hair can fit the root. Now I use mine over the summer and then I make the mistake of shaving in the winter so the hair regains its strength again. If I had been using this continuously over the last 20 years I'd better be really easy to remove. So this Phillips Beauty model that I've got here is as old as a hill. I bought it about 10 years ago and it's still on the go now it shows you just what good value you can get out of these things. I've checked on Amazon and they don't sell this particular model anymore but you can get a basic Phillips epulator for about 35 pounds now. Looking across the different ranges the bronze and so on. Epilators now stretch from about 30 40 pounds right up to 250 pounds and it would be really interesting to try a top of the range modern model like that just to see how far they've come in recent years. Are they any less painful to use? Are they quicker to use and so on? The basic late whatever model you use you're still just dealing with this crop of tweezer heads that are pulling the hair out of your legs so any price range is going to do roughly the same job. If you want to have a look and see the different types of products that are out there I've included a set of product links in the description of this video to some of the best selling models on Amazon. So let me show you how this works. As I say mine is a really old model so I have to use mine with the cord. If I take the cord out it'll run down pretty quickly but plugged in this still goes at a good speed and that's what you want. I have two speed settings probably any model you buy will have different speed settings. I would recommend you use an epulator on the highest speed. No joy can come from plucking the hairs out of your legs slowly so you want to get it over and done with as quickly as possible. So before I actually begin I've got to say that the epulator does the most fantastic job of removing hair from your legs even the shortest amount of growth. So just as the hair starts to come back into the legs you can be using the epulator to whip it out which means when you go on holiday you can take this with you and you can keep your legs hair for you all times. So I'm going to show you how you use this now switching it on to its highest speed level at two on the epulator. See how fast it goes. So I'm just going to start running this up my leg to remove the hairs and you're going to see really quickly how it just plucks the hairs out as I go. Now with this sort of growth and on this area of the leg that is really not painful at all because I've just got a few straggly hairs. As you get into more serious growth it's just a little bit nippy there. If you find this really really painful at any point, as I say I've been doing this a long time now it doesn't really bother me very much. If you do find this really painful I would just push the epulator into your skin and that somehow with the pressure on your skin does mask the plane pain very well. But you just keep it going. The beauty of this is it'll pluck out absolutely everything. Some of these hairs are really quite short and it's getting rid of them. So just after you've used the epulator it does leave some red marks where the hair has been plucked out but that goes within about 24 hours and just remember to moisturise daily. You can use this on pretty much any part of your body but I've got to say I've tried it under my arms and I just haven't got the guts to do it. I find it really really painful. I used it on the bikini a bit on the top of my legs, on the softer skin, on the side of the legs. These areas are a little more painful and it goes back to what I said before about just doing small areas at a time and really pushing the epulator into the skin and holding the skin tight and that really does help the pain. So with the hair now removed from my legs I could probably expect that result to last for about a week but it will be different with each person. However in grown hairs are a very real problem with epulator. It's also true of waxing but somehow with the epulator it seems to be more of a frequent problem but you can avoid them. The key to it for me is to use something like a pumice stone as soon as the hair starts to grow back. From the first hair that appears I would start using the pumice stone every single day in the shower so we just get your legs nice and soapy and running the pumice stone over it quite hard so you're taking away any layers of dead skin that the hair could get trapped under. By doing that I'm managing to avoid in grown hairs. I've heard other people talking about using salicylic acid and just wiping that over the skin to again avoid dead skin from building up on the surface. Whatever you do though make sure you're exfoliating regularly. So when you think that you can buy an epulator for just 35 pounds or around the 50 dollar mark and you tot up what you would have been spending over a few months on waxing you can see how very quickly you can save money using this device but to avoid the pitfalls of the in grown hairs then you need to get into a good routine if you're using this device and I would recommend that you use it regularly.
