5 Best Facial Epilators

The thought of using an electric epilator can be daunting but the thought of using a metal coil to tweeze hairs out by the root seems almost barbaric! Fortunately, these types of hair removal are quite civilized and surprisingly comfortable. Technology has progressed so electric epilators and coil epilators have come a long way from steel coils to specially machined hypoallergenic coils.

Here are a few of the top epilators out there as well as some of my favorites

EpiSlim Emjoi Epilator

The Emjoi epilator is fairly new to the market and is quite the hit. Manufactured and sold by Emjoi, these are easy to find at many department stores as well as shopping channels on television and online. The Emjoi EpiSlim has a curved head with multiple tweezer heads that remove hair cleanly and from the root. I personally love that this little device can grab hairs as short as 1/100th of an inch. As soon as a hair is visible, the Emjoi EpiSlim can grab it and it's gone! The EpiSlim is great for the brows, lip, chin, and cheek area as well as for touch-ups around the bikini area and on the legs. This one runs on 2 AA batteries.

Braun Silk-épil 7 Wet and Dry Epilator

The Braun Silk-epil 7 is an amazing epilator with lots of amenities. With 40 close-grip tweezers, hair as short as half of a millimeter can be gripped and removed! The best part of this model though is its versatility. It comes with 5 different attachments for different parts of the body including the legs arms and bikini as well as the face. As the name suggests, this model can be used with our without water, this truly allows the Silk-epil to offer a full spectrum of hair removal services. With stats like this, you can bet the Silk-epil is a top choice for electric epilators providing silky smooth skin. The Silk-epil is made by Braun and although Braun is easy to find in most fine stores, the Silk-epil may not be as easy. Check into major department stores and online outlets for this model!

Remington Smooth & Silky Wet/Dry Face & Body Epilator

When it comes to facial care, this epilator has it covered! The Remington Smooth & Silky Wet/Dry Face & Body Epilator is a phenomenal little machine. A 40 tweezer head and 2 different speeds, wet or dry use, and cordless ability make this device efficient, versatile, and mobile. That's not to even mention the detail light and 3 attachments! There are 2 different attachments for precision hair removal and comfort. My favorite part of this set is the other attachment. This attachment is a massaging cap with aloe vera for use after hair removal. Now that is a novel and long-awaited idea! Remington can be found in most department stores as well as multiple online stores. As the Smooth & Silky Wet/Dry Face & Body Epilator is a specialized item by Remington, it might be best to do some research before heading to the closest big-box store.

Bellabe Facial Hair Remover Threader

The Bellabe Facial Hair Remover Threader has a specially-coated hypoallergenic spring as opposed to a rough steel coil used in older models of these facial epilators. Using a springy coil to remove hair mimics the use of tweezers but it's much more efficient in that it takes many hairs at once, much like threading hair removal. Through bending the Bellabe coil into a "U" shape and then dragging down the area while turning the coil results in hair removal of "peach fuzz" as well as thicker, coarser hairs on the face. As with any facial hair removal, there will be some discomfort but keep in mind that the pain will never be worse than the first time. In other words, it gets better and it's worth it! Oh! And this product is Made in the U.S.A.!

Epilady Manual Coil Tweezer

The Epilady Tweezer Coil is simply a device that uses the tweezer coil method of hair removal but offers a much easier approach to the process. Just pushing your thumb up on the handle of this device opens the coil and removing it completes the tweezing action. Simply running this over areas of hair and repeating the thumb motion will remove hairs as fine as "peach fuzz" or thick coarse hair as well. This little epilator is fantastic for eyebrow grooming and shaping with its smaller coil surface area. Easy to handle, perfect for on the go hair removal, and great for men, too!

Once you've used a facial epilating device, you might not ever return to your old methods of hair removal. Having silky smooth, hairless skin for weeks at a time can be downright addictive. Push past the discomfort of the first time and welcome to a whole new outlook on hair removal!
