Summer has finally arrived and so it’s time to slip into your summer wardrobe with confidence. If you’d like a hair removal tool that provides longer lasting results this summer, skincare expert Dr Anita Sturnham and Braun, the world’s leading epilation brand have 10 reasons why you should start removing hair from the root…

It lasts longer

It lasts longer

Long lasting results: plucking hairs from the root rather than cutting from the surface removes the hairs completely. This means it takes longer for a brand new  hair to grow back and you’ll be left with hair free smoothness for up to four weeks.

Less feel of irritation:  fewer treatments, not only means no more in-between days but it also eases the feel of irritation you may experience when removing hair on a more regular basis – say good bye to shaving rash.

Epilators are no longer the scary painful devices they used to be: There are now so many products available to meet different needs, such as the top of the range Braun Silk-épil 9 SkinSpa which plucks 80% of hairs per stroke for a fast treatment, or the beginner cap on the Braun Silk-épil 5 Starter Kit which combines shaving and epilating for a gentle introduction to root hair removal. Both can also be used in the shower, easing any pain or irritation that dry hair removal can cause.

Multiple treatments in one device: with trimmer, exfoliating and massaging attachments, epilators are about full body smoothness and skincare.

Saves money: While epilators are higher priced than razors or a one off salon treatment, they are an investment purchase saving money on multiple products and treatments in the long run. In fact, a recent survey by Braun found that by conducting hair removal treatments at home women in the UK can save up on average £567 per year.

Fake tan lasts longer: Unlike shaving or waxing, epilating does not remove the very top layer of skin with the hairs, so your fake tan is safe to last even longer on the skin.

Gentle hair removal in the bath or shower: Braun epilators can be used wet for a more gentle epilation experience or dry for quick touch ups before dashing out of the door.

No need to wait for the hairs to grow back: The micro tweezers newer epilators can capture hairs as small as grain of sand, meaning there’s no need for those awkward in-between hair regrowth days.

Even longer lasting smooth results with IPL: The Braun Silk-expert 5 IPL features the fastest available IPL technology and uses SensoAdapt technology to continually read your skin tone and adapt the intensity of the light accordingly. Shave first to allow the pulses of light to target the melanin in your hair follicle, this slowly breaks down the hairs’ growth cycle until it stops for good after just 12 weekly treatments.
