Choosing epilators, groomers & trimmers
Start with the job you need done. Epilators pull hair from the root, so skin stays smooth for longer, and they suit legs, underarms and other areas where you want that result. Groomers and trimmers cut hair to a set length, which makes them a good fit for facial hair, eyebrows, necklines and tidying the bikini line. If you want a cutting tool for larger areas, compare with electric shavers.
Check the head size, since a narrow head works better on small areas. Look for adjustable length settings on trimmers, a washable head for easy cleaning, and a cord or battery style that suits how you plan to use it. Note whether blades or tweezing heads are replaceable. If you have sensitive skin, read the product details for any stated skin or hair type and any ingredient notes.
Getting the most from your tool
Work on clean, dry skin and follow the instructions for your model. Hold the device at the angle it recommends and move slowly, in the direction the manufacturer specifies. Clean the head after each use and keep it dry between uses.
Test a small area first and stop if you notice redness or discomfort. Replace worn blades or heads when the manufacturer advises. If you prefer a different method, see waxing for another approach to removing hair.
Questions about epilators, groomers & trimmers
What is the difference between an epilator and a trimmer?
An epilator removes hair from the root, so smoothness lasts longer. A trimmer cuts hair at the surface to a chosen length, which is quicker and often used for facial hair and detail work.
Can I use one on sensitive skin?
Choose a model with a gentle setting or a trimmer style for sensitive areas, test on a small patch first, and avoid use on broken or irritated skin.
