Fun fact. The average shaver spends 5 minutes a day shaving. That's 2.5 hours a month. 30 hours a year! That's a lot of time spent removing something that begins growing back a day later.
For those of us not wanting to invest 1 and a bit days of our 365 into hair removal; other options offer the need to remove hair less frequently, saving time overall, with longer-lasting results.
Both waxing and epilating boast up to 4 weeks of smoothness - in exchange for a little pain of course. Where they differ is that epilation doesn't affect the skin in the same way as waxing (which requires a wax to be applied directly to the surface of the skin) so epilation is considered best for sensitive skin. And, those that epilate only spend around 40 minutes a month tending to hair removal - a huge yearly time saving of over 22 hours, compared to shaving.
The Braun Silk-épil 9 SkinSpa 4-in-1 epilator (RRP:$299.95) is the world’s first epilator and cleansing brush system. As well as including Braun’s best Wet & Dry epilator for long-lasting smooth skin, the set comes with a deep massage pad to help improve skin tone and appearance, two exfoliation brushes for gentle and deep body exfoliation, and a facial cleansing brush which removes make-up and impurities 6x better than a manual face cleanse.

I've tried epilation in the past but don't currently epilate. I love it for my underarms as it makes the skin look lighter not having the dark roots under my light skin. Waxing regularly is way to expensive for a student like me and I'd love to give this another epilator a go, especially as I have dark coarse hair that is a pain to remove.
