You have got hair on your scalp? That’s great. You have got hair on your body? Well, that is a sign of mankind. You have got hair on your face? Nightmare!
All women have facial hair. And that’s the biggest inconvenience to a lady. It hides the skin complexion. Unless you put on a good layer of makeup, you can’t attend social functions. Bottomline – facial hair looks un-aesthetic and just not feminine.
Is this the end of the road?
Nah! There are epilators for face. And this blog will tell you the Uses of facial epilators and the best epilators available. Feeling happy, right?
But first, what makes a face epilator indispensable for a lady?
Why Use A Facial Epilator
There are many ways to remove unwanted facial hairs – waxing, threading, shaving, plucking with a tweezer, using chemical hair removers etc. But all these methods come with their cons. Some of them are painful and might be harmful for the sensitive facial skin. Though shaving is less time consuming and painless, there is always the fear of developing thicker stubs on the face.
This is when you need to thank a face epilator. It helps remove the hairs from the roots. With time, the growth of the hairs gets reduced. Since the facial hairs are removed from the roots, it takes more time for the hair to grow back and the new hairs are much thinner. This explains the growing popularity of the facial hair removal epilator.
Facial epilators can be used for the following purposes:
- For giving shape to the eyebrows of ladies
- For getting rid of rough facial hair and uneven side locks
- For hair-free upper lip and chin
Hope you are aware that there are “body epilators” (not to be mistaken as face epilator) too which remove unnecessary hair on your body.

Best Facial Epilators Of 2018
Ah! This sounds interesting.
Here are best epilators for face that will suit the skin, keeping the Indian climate in mind. Their working mechanism is the same – which is pulling up our skin’s hair from its roots.
Before using epilators for face, exfoliation is advised. Use an economically priced face epilator which comes with a special face exfoliating brush. This helps remove the dead skin cells. While exfoliating your face, never use a pumice stone or loofah. After epilation, use a moisturizer for adding gloss to your smooth skin. In case your skin gets irritated post-epilation, apply aloe vera face gel to get a soothing effect.

How To Clean Epilators
Agreed, hygiene is important. That doesn’t mean the handle of a washable epilator is washable too. In order to clean it, you have to dismount the head of the epilator. Then clean it with a cleaning brush and running water. When the process gets completed, take a cotton ball and dip it in an alcoholic face cleaner. Then air-dry it and store it in a safe place.

A word of caution –
If a face epilator falls from your hand, check if its tweezers are broken. Do not use an epilator that has broken tweezers.
Rules For Using Epilators
Some ‘Must-knows’…
- It is better to epilate short hairs because when you epilate long hairs, it hurts. If the latter is what you are looking for, then use a trimmer comb to trim the longer hairs, then epilate the shortened hairs. The same technique can be used for bushy hair as well.
- Got irritated/inflamed skin or rashes on skin? Then don’t use an epilator.
- An epilator is a personal device. Don’t share it even with the best of your friends.
[sc:mediad]
- Run an epilator in the ‘natural’ direction of your hair’s growth. Supposing your hair growth is from left to right. Then run the epilator in a straight manner from left to right. Don’t run it in the opp. Direction.
- While using an epilator, don’t press it hard against your skin.
- Those of you who are using an epilator for the first time should not start it on sensitive areas.
Final Words
For girls who want to save themselves from the ‘Ouch’ and ‘Ahh(s)’ of waxing, or who don’t want hair removal creams which leave behind dark colored patches and want to avoid the sharp blades of a razor, facial hair removal epilator is for you.
