Many ladies sooner or later facethe problem of hair removal from a particular part of the body. Hair is plucked, shaved or removed using more progressive and gentle methods and means. To solve this problem, you can contact professional cosmetologists or try to solve it yourself. But whichever option you choose, your body will be subjected to either depilation or epilation. And in the latter case, you will need to purchase (for self-hair removal) a special device called an epilator, which means you need to know how to choose an epilator. And this choice, we note, is not easy and very delicate. But first things first.
Depilation or epilation
Both of these procedures are very similar and the result isThere is only one of them - hair removal. However, in the first case, only the visible (subcutaneous) part of the hair is removed, while epilation destroys the hair follicle. The oldest, simplest and most accessible type of depilation is shaving. On the other hand, this method has a number of disadvantages. For example, the skin after shaving is often irritated, has an unsightly appearance and causes discomfort. Also, the effect after shaving does not last long: hair begins to grow on the second or third day after the procedure. Special creams and wax strips are also used for depilation, but they have to be used almost every day. Epilation is a more effective method of hair removal. And it is popular with women because of its hygiene and long-lasting effect. However, epilation, like any other manipulation of the skin, is accompanied by a number of negative consequences. So this procedure cannot be called absolutely safe, but some well-known and little-known measures will help to quickly get rid of such consequences and even prevent their occurrence. Note that today not only ordinary women, but also beauty salon workers and epilator manufacturers do not see much difference between epilation and depilation procedures. And what is sold in stores under the name of an epilator is in fact a means (instrument) for depilation. In general, this confusion is so old that epilation is called any hair removal procedure, and an epilator is any instrument for this procedure. Therefore, when talking about choosing an epilator, we will talk about what modern manufacturers offer us. And how exactly (by means of depilation or epilation) it removes these hairs is a separate question.
What is a depilator
The principle of operation of any epilator isthe following: several pairs of metal disks rotate and, touching, grab the hairs like tweezers, removing them from the root. This is called a multi-tweezers system, and all epilator manufacturers use it. However, this system has its own characteristics and a brand name for each brand.
- Philips calls its multi-pint systemSatinelle. These systems are equipped with twenty-one rotating discs that operate at two speeds. The first speed allows the epilator to make six hundred tweaks (grips) per second, the second - seven hundred and thirty-three tweaks.
- Rowenta produces epilators with a system of thirty-two pairs of tweezers. It is called Precision, and in addition to the tweezers Precision is equipped with four rows of double brushes guiding the hairs.
- Braun calls the Silk-epil multiplex system. This system is equipped with twenty pairs of independently rotating disks, and also has two degrees of grip: for thin and for hard hair.
Almost all models of epilators are equipped withtwo-speed or three-speed tweezer system. The first speed (low speed) is advisable when removing short or thin hair. The fact is that if you try to remove such hairs at high speed, the hair will simply tear, but not be removed. If you remove such hairs at low speed, the hair will be removed together with the bulb. High speeds are not scary when removing longer and coarser hair. On the other hand, getting rid of such hair at the second or third speed, a person experiences less unpleasant pain during the epilation process.
What are epilators
Epilators come in different types, and their types depend on the principle of starting the disks and the purpose for a certain area of the body. Let's consider what these ingenious hair removal machines are like.

Conclusion
In pursuit of beauty, please be,moderate. Knowing how to choose an epilator, do not forget that every coin has two sides. Skin deprived of any hair becomes absolutely defenseless, and the epilation procedure itself, no matter how gentle it is, injures the skin. The skin ages prematurely and becomes flabby due to dryness and flaking, which is greatly facilitated by epilation. One of the reasons for early and rapid skin aging is the soap and water we use (a side effect of the achievements of civilization). These two "friends of the skin" sometimes become its sworn enemies, irritating the skin and making it dry. Therefore, after epilation, it is not recommended to use detergents containing alkalis. On the contrary, it is useful to use cleansing cream soap based on body milk or use shower gels that moisturize and cleanse the skin at the same time. The skin of the shin needs especially thorough moisturizing, because in this part of the body there is a minimum number of glands on the skin that produce sebum (sebum). Be reasonable. Remember that the best is the enemy of the good. Stay beautiful always and in spite of everything! We recommend reading:
