Re: Epilating--what am I doing wrong?

Great information ladies.  I got one but haven't taken out of the box.  I've been a little bit chicken.  Its getting close to my 30 day return date so will try this weekend.

Re: Epilating--what am I doing wrong?

When I broke my elbow in 2014 I bought the emjoi epilator to do my legs.  I have been using it several times a week since.  Sometimes everyday.  I went away for a couple of months last year and forgot it.  I had just the same of hair to shave every day. I don't understand how hair gets less.  Also skin always feels a little stubbly after 4 years.  

 

Also I hear about eyebrows being thin because of excess plucking. I have very thin sparse eyebrows now at 67 and never plucked much.  I shaved the area between brows to keep from having a unibrow.  I plucked a little on the upper lid but not much.   I never wanted skinny brows.

Re: Epilating--what am I doing wrong?

Epilating has been great for my underarms.  I started over 5 years ago and I hardly have to epilate anymore.  As far as my legs, I quit growing hair on my legs years ago and never had to shave or epilate to begin with.   As far as the pain factor, it was a little uncomfortable at first, but that diminished quickly. 

 

I highly recommend!

@SilleeMee....I have been doing as you suggested, and it seems to be working. I am only using the epilator every couple days, and not using the shaver at all. Thanks again. Smiley Happy 

I promise to remind myself every day that I am strong, courageous, and resilient.
