EPILATOR vs WAXING

[_AiaH_]

^ wala ata. kung may relatives ka sa states, pabili ka ng Braun, magandang investment.  kung ioorder mo kasi, sisingilin ka ng malaki sa pesteng tax ng post office

nakalusot sa post office yung epilator ko sis, hehe. Hindi ako nasingil ng tax before, i just paid 40php when the item was delivered sa bahay

Awww, wala ako relatives sa States eh Sayang naman. How much ba sa Rustans?

4k yung simple na old model sis, 7k yung latest. too pricey kasi, my total was 5k lang dun sa binili ko sa ebay.com, latest model na ng braun.

Mga sis, any idea kung magkano ang emjoi wireless epilator? Gusto ko bumili pag nakaipon na ko, nakakatamad kasi mag wax. hehe. TIA!

you can get an idea of how much it would cost sa ebay.com. palitan mo nalang ng .ph yung extension para maconvert sa php agad yung amount i bought mine doon.

I have been using my braun epilator for more than 10 yrs! It has been old but very reliable. Sometimes when I wax the hair doesnt completely come off, i get a little help from epilator.

I noticed that the skin is softer with wax  vs epilator problem lang you have to let the hair grow when you want to wax.

The idea of hair removal of waxing and epilating is the same and it will lessen the growth of hair eventually (matagal) pero atleast unlike shaving it doesnt get the hair to be thicker and coarser.

^does epilating help with chicken skin?

Ive waxed for years already. And it still doesnt help chicken skin sa UA. 

[_AiaH_]

for me sis, yes. wala naman ako chicken skin, very minimal halos hindi nkakapa or nakikita. been waxing and epilating, hindi naman nagkakaroon at all.

if nakakatulong sya to remove it, testimonials say it does:

i'm doing pre-orders for epilator (both Braun & emjoi) if you girls are interested PM me nalang.

anyway, I like Braun kasi it actually picks it flat lying hair. i bring emjoi naman when travelling para hindi hassle sa customs/packing etc etc. kaso it takes longer to do the job kasi it's tiny nga. not to mention that it runs on dry cell AA's.

[_AiaH_]

^ sis depende sa model ng emjoi yan diba? ok yung parang curve nila. same ata halos ng quality ng braun. meron rechargeable na wireless na yung emjoi.

how do you epilate with braun nga pala to be able to pick the flat lying hair?

[morbiedoll]

^ i find Braun better at plucking the hair out than *my Emjoi. I also use the pre-epilating lotion with Braun and Emjoi, still misses a bit. either way siya parin dala ko while traveling haha.

i use pre-epilating lotion, it gives me closer epilation without tugging the skin. kaya it can pick up flat lying hair.

[_AiaH_]

^ thanks sis, where can i buy a pre-epilating lotion?

[morbiedoll]

Amazon, or ebay. I buy it at out local Sally's kasi. 

[jiabanana]

^^sis aiah di ba you have the braun silk epil 7? ganyan din yung sakin, when i received it from my relatives sa states may kasamang Olay Pre-epilating wipes yung buong package.

lessens irritation & makes me skin smooth after 

[_AiaH_]

^ I received the olay wipes din sis, kaso kapag naubos hindi ko alam san ako kukuha ulit. hahah

[morbiedoll]

the Olay/Braun ones are pretty expensive though $10 for 16 wipes.  i buy them lang if there's a special occasion.

[Pink_Sugar]

yung mga corded epilator ba na nakikita sa amazon.com, pwede ba syang diretsong saksak na para i-charge? ano ba dapt 110 0 220V? wala akong alam sa mga kuryente.  baka masira agad kasi baka mali magawa ko.

[_AiaH_]

^ check mo yung specs sis. braun epilators have autovolt feature. it can be plugged both sa 110v and 220v. yung emjoi ata requires voltage regulator, i asked an ebay seller before if autovolt din yun, hindi daw .

[Pink_Sugar]

^thanks sis. check ko yung braun. mas okay ata yung rechargeable kesa sa battery operated noh?

Hi everyone, just wanted to share my opinion about epilating and waxing.
For reference, my hairs are fine and light. And I'm talking about the hairs sa arms.

I use emjoi, the one for upper-lip, the one with a light pastel-green color.
Epilating definitely hurts so much more. Because laging nagbalik ako sa area kpag hindi nakuha yung hairs. On my part rin, na.cut yung some hairs, at nakuha nman yung iba. Talagang red at bumpy yung skin ko afterwards. But if it subsides already, it looks really clean and smooth.
I got addicted to the extent na it doesn't hurt anymore when I epilate. Then I noticed merong ingrowns na sa arms ko. I got so upset. I dug them out with tweezers and ended up with red spots and some even scarred/hyperpigmented. so I don't do this often na..

Yung waxing nman, I sugar wax. Yung strip-it wax yung ginamit ko. I really like the aftereffects, smooth nman, less redness, no bumps, less pain. I just don't like waiting for my hair to grow back again. I don't like looking at the tiny hairs growing. And some of my hair is too fine to be pulled out by the wax.. (sigh)

So I now use both in a combo. I alternate one after the other.

[_AiaH_]

^ hi sis, ganyan din ako. It was just now, literally now talaga, that i learned how to epilate properly. I often get stubbles from epilating kasi napuputol yung hair sa when i caress my skin, i feel a few hairs na maliliit.

so what i did was i followed the concept of waxing. diba when you wax, you pull towards on the opposite direction ng hair growth? yes, that's what I did while epilating a while ago sa legs ko, na medyo iba iba yung direction so sinunod ko sya, i ran the epilator against the direction ng hair growth, and  sort of pressed the epilator sa skin ko talaga, to make sure it'll grasp yung part ng hair closest sa skin and it did wonders. i was so impressed sa result na i can't feel yung hair na parang naputol.. i also trimmed my leg hair a bit so that the epilator can grasp the hair properly. i'm so happy, sobrang kinis talaga when i caress it and ang linis linis tingnan.

[jiabanana]

i lalalaloooove my smooth legs and arms from epilating. what i usually do is
exofoliate in the shower
use pre epilating wipes
epilate then apply aloe lotion
tapos sunblock. so smooth 

[ladyuna]

Panalong panalo na talaga si epilator. 

*maka-canvass nga muna* 

[phurple0515]

^ ako din, magkakacanvass na, hehhee! tolerable naman sa akin when i tried waxing before, kaya lang messy e. tapos tamad pa ko to do that.  e naeengganyo na ko ng epilating.
