Get Smooth Skin for Weeks with Epilation

2 min read

You just shaved yesterday, and voila. The first hairs start showing up in the morning. How vexing. More so in summer when you want to go out to the beach on an impulse or hang out with your friends. Well, epilation is here to help you stay in smooth skin for weeks.

Debunking the Pain Myth of Epilation

Epilating does not attract many, as most of them subscribe to the idea that "Epilating hurts." Contrary to this notion, epilation is much less painful than one can imagine, especially when it is done properly and with the right epilator. Here, you will get the answers to all the important questions on epilation: What is epilating? How long does it last? And most importantly, how to epilate correctly?

What is Epilating?

Epilation is a hair removal technique that pulls out hair, together with its root. While it does sound painful, learning to epilate in the right way makes it less painful than waxing or sugaring—both of which remove hairs from their roots.

How Does an Epilator Work?

An electric epilator pulls hair with the help of rotating discs. The right epilator will definitely make the process much faster with less discomfort. Look for an epilator that rotates fast enough to reduce that uncomfortable feeling of pulling on the skin as much as possible and get your epilating done within minutes.

Features of Modern Epilators

This is also evident in how modern epilators have features that will make epilating easier and more comfortable. For instance, the Philips Satinelle Prestige Epilator has an inbuilt Skin Stretcher that will stretch your skin in such a way that it becomes more comfortable.

How Long Does Epilating Last?

Epilation results can last two to three weeks, depending on the speed of your hair regrowth. Since the root of your hair is removed, usually, the new hair that grows back is softer and finer.
Get the right epilator, and with the right techniques, enjoy smooth, hair-free skin for weeks. No more shaving daily—hello, easy epilation.

Step1: Treat Your Skin to Something Good: Preparation

Before you reach for your epilator, ensure your hairs are no longer than five millimeters. The Satinelle Prestige, with its broad ceramic head, gently removes even fine hairs that are four times shorter than what waxing can handle. Shorter hairs make epilation more comfortable, so trim longer hairs first. The Satinelle Prestige includes a trimming head and comb, or you can use the Philips Pen Trimmer for smaller or more delicate areas.

Step 2: Epilating Correctly Made Simple

To start, choose the appropriate epilator attachment for the body part you want to depilate. The Satinelle attachment for sensitive body areas allows you to work safely on armpits and the bikini area. Place the epilator at a 75-degree angle on the skin surface and slowly work against the direction of hair growth.
The integrated light of the Satinelle epilator helps you detect hairs even in difficult-to-reach areas, ensuring a thorough epilation.
