Braun Silk epil Xelle Epilator
It is a well known fact that come winter, woman’s razors go into hibernation. After all who can be bothered to shave their legs on a weekly basis when they never even see the light of day? Unless you have someone to impress it just seems like another time consuming activity. An epilator on the other hand, only requires your attention once a month!
Although waxing is a longer lasting alternative to shaving, unless you visit a professional to have it done it is also messy and time consuming. However, an epilator is a great alternative and will last up to four weeks. At the moment Boot’s currently have a special offer on Braun epilators, shaving a third of the original price, making it a viable alternative to the electric razor.
The Braun Silk epil Xelle Epilator comes in at £32.66 (down from £48.99). It has a number of features which aim to make the epilation process as comfortable as possible. The Silk epil Xelle has a smart light, which illuminates the area that is being epilated so that even the finest hairs are visible, putting you in full control of epilation.
If you prefer to use a shaver for the more sensitive areas of your body then you can clip on the shaver head, which is specially designed to fit the contours of your bikini line or underarms. With the Opt Trim attachment you can also trim your bikini area and pre-cut the hair to the ideal length making epilation even easier.
Other great features include massaging rollers which gently stimulate your skin and an efficiency pro clip which allows you to cover larger areas of skin, so that more hairs are removed in one stroke.
Braun Silk epil Xelle Epilator is available online from Boots or instore.

I’d give it 10 stars if I could. This device has been a lifesaver for me. I am too much of a chicken to go to a salon; however, with a little trial and error, I’ve learned to do the epilation everywhere, even on bikini and underarm. My smooth skin gives me so much confidence, and it does not hurt a bit anymore.
If you are a chicken like me, follow my instructions instead of the manual, provided you are willing to invest a lot of time initially. I said initially, because, after a couple of months, the pain will subside and you’ll be able to do it any way you want, while watching TV or lulling your baby to sleep. (Yes, the sound does soothe the baby! Consider that an unadvertized perk.)
So here is how to start.
1) Take a long, hot bath.
2) Shave. If you are persistent, that’s the last time you ever will.
3) Use SilkEpil on just shaved skin. Yes, there will be hardly any results, but there won’t be any pain either, and your muscles will relax; it’s important to get into the habbit or relaxing while epilating, reduces the pain greatly.
4) Repeat next day (except, of course, no shaving). Heck, repeat later same day. You will achieve the results gradually while staying within your comfort zone as far as the pain goes. Do it every day until you feel in control, then gradually reduce the time interval between epilations to up to a month.
5) When you begin feeling pain on one leg, switch to the other. Somehow that reduces the pain.
6) Use long, quick strokes until you are comfortable.
7) Holding the device so that it rotates in the direction of the hair growth makes the process much more gentle on you and more time cosuming.
If you feel like giving up at any point, remember the 2nd epilation will be nothing like the first; the 3rd will be a breeze.
Good luck!
As for the product, my only wish is that it was cordless.
