I’m doing this for the first time, took a hot shower before.

And it hurts LIKE HELL.

I have a Braun Silk epil 7. So yeah if you have any tips on how to make this hurt less do tell.

    Where are you using it? I tried my face once and I couldn’t get it done. I honestly think going one at a time with tweezers would have been better. You can more carefully find the angle the specific follicle wants the hair to be pulled at.

        Yeah, for that much surface area tweezers probably aren’t the way. Only other advice I have is to really make sure you are matching the direction of the rotation with the direction your follicles are oriented. I could maybe make a quick diagram if you want, but basically making sure the drum is spinning in the right direction relative to the grain of your hair. With all the wacky directions the hair on my face grows in I had to really fight to figure out how to best use the epilator.

        Which I can confirm from lab testing 😆!! The things we do 😬

        Edit: Appreciate you clarifying. I agree. Don’t use them on your face. That was the 10 on my pain scale.
