Yea, im still using epilator on arms and it works fine, no ingrownhairs. But legs... im having a lot of ingrown hairs :( So now im using wax instead.
Can homemade wax be stored?

Re: Need info. on EPILATOR!!!

The first couple of times it hurts but it was fine after that and now I'm used to it, it just tickles a bit :)

the pimples are because the epilator wasn't pulling your hairs out; they were being broken with the root being left behind in the follicle.

Re: Need info. on EPILATOR!!!

i'm lucky on dat part :D...i naturlly have close to NO HAIR on my legs, so epilating is never a problem. although arm hair aren't thick but they're a hard pull :( but after epilating for a long time my arm hair growth has decreased to a large extent. So epilator rules.

epilator on face? is that normal? i've never heard this before ...

but epilation on legs for me is not a problem .... but i cant use it on my arms ... my hair is fine and small there, so epilator only end up breaking it and causing pimples .... i mean once you start using it, that body part becomes numb anyways of the pain ...

coming back to the face part ... is epilation better for face, or waxing?

Re: Need info. on EPILATOR!!!

i am using using panasonic epilator for almost 2 years. its works well will arms though with legs, there is pain. however, its better than waxing as there is no mess

farrah - i really wouldn't advise it on any part but if it's working on your legs, fair enough.

face would potentially have the same problem as the arms as the hairs are finer. any root hair removal distorts the growth of hair from the follicle but epliators are the worst for this. i wouldn't want to risk the ingrowns on my face.

Re: Need info. on EPILATOR!!!

believe me its like hell lot of pain when you epilate your arm and thick hair on legs gosh:|

Re: Need info. on EPILATOR!!!

^^ LOL I have to totally psych myself up before going anywhere near my arms!!! legs are the worst - i just cant bring myself to epilate them!

Re: Need info. on EPILATOR!!!

I tried a Braun epilator 6 years ago, all that I remember is lots of pain, in-grown hair and big open pores on my legs. I would like to try it again since it was so convenient. Anyone has advice for the open pores issue? What I do to ensure that I dont end up with those?

Re: Need info. on EPILATOR!!!

^if ingrown hairs and open pores were your reaction last time, i doubt it will change.
