Frequently Asked Questions

What is epilation?
Epilation is a more effective hair removal method for women than shaving or waxing. Epilators gently remove hair at the root, rather than at the surface like shaving, and can remove much shorter hair than waxing so you don’t have to wait until hair becomes visible to remove it. After epilation, legs stay smooth for up to four weeks and hair grows back at different rates, meaning you will typically have less hair to remove each time you epilate.

What is the benefit of epilation versus using a traditional razor, cream, or foam?
Unlike shaving, cream, or foam – which only cut or dissolve hair at the skin surface – epilators remove hair at the root. Because it takes a while for the hair to grow back to the skin surface, your skin will stay smooth for up to four weeks. As the hair grows back from the root, the tip of the hair will not be blunt, but instead look thinner and finer. As a result, you’ll no longer have the feeling of coarse stubble.

What is the benefit of epilation versus waxing (Agda or Halawa)?
Wax does remove hair from the root just like epilators. However, when it comes to removing shortest hair, wax performs quite poorly. As wax basically sticks on the hair to remove it, hair needs to be a certain length for this process to take place. Therefore, there is a hair-growth waiting period for those who use wax. With epilators, there is no such waiting and therefore no need to cover legs up. Using wax is also a hassle. The preparation process (for self-made wax, Adga, or Halawa) is long, messy, and tiresome. What’s even worse, using wax (Agda or Halawa) is a more painful process compared to epilators.

Does epilation hurt?
Most women trying epilation for the first time find the process much less painful than they had anticipated. As hair is removed at the root, however, there might be some discomfort. In the beginning, the pulling sensation is stronger, but this subsides as your skin adjusts to the process. Over time, after successive epilations, there is also less hair to be removed. Studies show that epilating more frequently can reduce pain significantly. Silk-épil Xpressive also features three ways to help women minimize discomfort – Olay pre-epilation wipes prepare the skin for epilation, a new massage system stimulates the skin before epilation and helps reduce the pain, and a beginner cap helps new users get used to epilation.

How long does my hair have to be for epilation?
Silk-épil can remove hair that is 0.5-mm in length. This hair length occurs after approximately two days of not shaving.

Will my hair grow back after epilation?
Yes. However, the hairs will grow back more tapered and fine than they do from shaving. Hair that is removed with a razor is cut at skin level, so that the edge grows back blunt and coarse, causing razor stubble.

Does hair grow back thicker and stronger after epilation?
No, dermatologists have confirmed that epilation has no negative impact on the thickness of regrowing hair. In addition, because hairs are removed at the root, the hairs that do grow back have softer, narrower tips than hairs removed with a razor, so they feel softer and finer to the touch. The reason why this question arises every now and then is that hair removal is more frequent (and also more in focus) in summer. And this is also the time when hair growth itself changes. Due to the higher ambient temperatures the blood circulation is better, leading to a better supply of nutrition to hair roots so that hair growth in general is stronger.

When it comes to shaving, smooth skin matters most. Carefully crafted for a gentle shave, the dual-care Braun Silk-épil Lady Shaver includes a unique exfoliation attachment that revitalizes the skin for a smooth, radiant appearance.

The shaver’s rounded, gliding head is specially designed for the unique contours of the female form, namely your legs. The combination of a floating foil and long hair trimmer system guarantees extra close shaving results.

Now with one tool, you can shave your legs and even sensitive areas like the underarms and bikini line quickly and conveniently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Winter can be especially tough on your legs. Cold, dry air outside and warm, centrally-heated dry air inside can lead to irritated skin. But how can you make shaving your legs more comfortable in these conditions? Here are some common questions for your legs.

How important is it to use moisturizers during the winter months?
The first line of defense against dry, cracked winter skin is moisturization. Even if your skin appears or feels oily in the summer, consider using an oil-based moisturizer to give your skin the complete protection it needs. Delicate areas like your shins tend to get extra-dry in winter—try applying a rich moisturizing cream several times a day.

What role does diet play in improving the health and appearance of your skin?
During these cold winter months, your skin needs the right nutrients to look and feel its very best. Make sure your diet is well-balanced, with lots of fresh vegetables, fruit and fiber. And perhaps most importantly, drink as much water as you can to replenish your body’s dried-out moisture reserves.

What can I do to keep my legs in shape during the season?
Just because the temperatures have gone south doesn’t mean that you have to be resigned to the couch. Take advantage of the cold weather and try out winter sports like Nordic skiing or ice skating. More than great ways to enjoy the outdoors, these activities will give you more shapely, strong and irresistibly beautiful legs.

Which is better for my skin: the bath or the shower?
There’s nothing better than a warm bath on cold day. But be careful not to overdo it: keep the bath short and the water warm, never hot. Also, limit baths to just a couple times a week. Take warm showers on the other days. After your bath, pat your skin dry and apply moisturizer or body oil immediately afterwards, sealing in moisture while your skin is still warm.

Do the clothes I wear affect the look and feel of my skin?
It stands to reason that during winter your skin has more contact with clothing that it does with cold outside air. The friction caused by clothing stresses the skin, leading to redness, tightness and irritation. Choose your winter wardrobe by asking yourself this simple question: “Does it feel good?” Try to wear breathable natural or functional fabrics that don’t cause too much friction.

Does using a humidifier really make a difference?
Centrally-heated dry inside air usually decreases humidity levels to below 30%. Add some much-needed moisture to the air by using a humidifier. Your skin – and your taxed respiratory tract – will be glad you did!
