Frequently asked questions
What are the benefits of epilating with an in-water epilator?
Warm water relaxes and soothes your skin. The warmth improves your micro-circulation, stimulates the production of pain-reducing substances and makes your skin less sensitive. This is why the tugging sensation is considerably reduced in water. This is confirmed by a study conducted by the German dermatologist Dr. med. Petra Staubach at the University of Mainz. The majority of participants felt no or only a slight tugging sensation.
Is it safe to use the Braun Silk-épil 7 Dual Epilator in the shower and bath?
Braun Silk-épil 7 Dual Epilator is 100 per cent waterproof and is safe for usage in or out of the shower and bath. The product features an automatic shut off mechanism that ensures the appliance only operates once the cord is removed from the mains power and recharger dock. This safety mechanism guarantees that the appliance cannot be taken into the water and operated so there is no safety concern of using an electric appliance in/with water.
I have never epilated before–how should I go about it?
Braun’s Silk-épil epilators are the perfect choice for first-time users. Epilating on wet skin with the Silk-épil 7 Dual Epilator is especially gentle and perfect for under the shower or in your bath. Still, if you are inexperienced, you may feel a little discomfort during your first epilating sessions. This will decrease with each session, as the skin adjusts to the process. Also, the individual hairs grow back at different speeds depending on their particular growth cycle, so that there will be less hair to remove after the first epilation.
Does more hair grow back if I epilate?
No, this has been proven in dermatological tests. In fact, studies show that ongoing epilation reduces the amount of hair regrowth.
How do I best prepare my skin for epilating?
The best preparation for epilating is a nice, warm shower. It will leave your skin clean and relaxed. Be sure to use a gentle, pH-neutral shower gel, and keep the water warm, not hot, to avoid drying out your delicate skin. Epilation on wet skin with the Silk-épil 7 Dual Epilator is even gentler and perfect for use in the shower or bath.
Is epilation painful?
Silk-épil epilators have been developed especially to minimise any discomfort and irritation. Cooling wet wipes from Olay prime the skin beforehand and massaging rollers help to relax the skin as you use the epilator. Being able to use the product in water also reduces discomfort and irritation as the warmth of the water releases endorphins–the body’s natural pain reliever.
Ok..so at first, let me tell you I have never used an epilator in my life ! And was super scared by all the scary stories I had heard..
When I was using it for the first time, I was literally chanting God’s name :p And I am very serious..coz I have sensitive skin..so I was a little nervous and scared..
I used it in shower..on wet skin and on my legs..I have used it twice by now..with an interval of about 2-2.5 weeks in between..and a fully charged battery lasts both legs each time..each leg takes 15-20 minutes now..the time I took the first time was longer obviously coz I was not used too and a little scared..
I was shocked on how smooth it went..without any discomfort at all..it was super easy..and all my inhibitions were gone..
It comes with the smoothing cap with Gillette Venus technology (the one that is used wet..it epilates and at the back end shaves at the same time), an efficiency cap (the one that is used dry..without the shaving blades) and a cap for sensitive areas (a narrower head). The pivoting head and Smart Light help see all the minute hair..and the head turns to any areas easily on the curves of the legs..and also the 2 speed settings help adjust the speed..once you are comfortable on 1st..you can move to 2nd..
I use the smoothing cap in shower..and the only issue is there are some hairs which have been epilated but in the wet form..you do not come to know whether that hair is still left or epilated as its stuck..and you go over that area again and again..and also leave or forget some areas..those I cover after the shower..with the dry efficiency cap..
End result is smooth, silky legs ! There was no redness, no discomfort, no pain..but ya it takes some time and patience as you have to go over each area..
I am not sure if its this epilator in particular or what..but for me, the experience was amazing..and I have not waxed my legs from the time I have started using this..coz I am loving this !
The above pic is the smoothing cap..with the Gilette Venus Technology blades.. (P.S: Please ignore the few remnants of hair..I have to clean it again :/)
The cap for sensitive areas..works on upper lips, etc..
Coming to the cleaning part, when used dry, the hair blows off easily..and the small brush that comes with it is quite helpful..but when used wet which is how I use..it takes a lot of cleaning man..all the heads and tweezers have to be cleaned well to get rid of the hair under forceful running water..and then dried well too..
But nonetheless, with the benefits it comes with..I am ready to clean it 😉 This has made my life so easy ! And they recommend after three uses, since the hair is both epilated and shaved with the smoothing cap..after a cycle of 3 uses..the hair growth reduces too ! I am looking forward to my third use..and would update you guys on that..
This surely is a must have..and a total paisa vasool investment ! I am going to keep purchasing it all my life..and one thing I am surely carrying on my long vacations 😉
