Braun FaceSpa Face Epilator for Women, Hair Removal with Facial Cleansing Brush Head, 100% Waterproof, SE810, White

If you normally was your facial hair.. this is the best alternative and can be very cost effective than waxing every 2 weeks. Actually removes very fine hair. Highly recommended

It DOES the JOB beautifully. I get facial hair every 2-3 weeks and this has simplified my life. It does the job nicely. Makes me feel clean and I do not have to use sticky hair removals anymore which used to leave my skin red.

Maybe a bit dramatic saying this is a life changer but it really is.Being diagnosed with PCOS almost 20yrs ago I have always battled with facial hair. Sunshine was my enemy making those dark or freakishly long hairs sparkle and shine like a super bright beacon for everyone to see.In my 20's I spent a fortune on electrolysis and epil 2000 treatments that were painful and pointless. They made it worse. I had small patches on either side of my chin which seemed to spread with these treatments.So I resigned myself to a lifetime of weekly waxing and daily tweezer top ups. Using my long hair or my hand to hide my chin whenever anyone came close enough. Flinching and cringing whenever a boyfriend touched my chin.At 38, I finally decided to try a facial epilator. I am not sure why this has never occurred to me before. Maybe because I used one on my legs once when I was 16 and screamed with the pain and never thought epilating was for me.Ok it's painful. Especially the 1st time but not anymore painful than waxing. And it's quite a nice pain as I know those ugly little hairs are getting pulled out.You do have to figure out which way to switch the switch so you are going against the hair growth. And it slows down a bit when it's got a really thick stubborn hair.It gives a fantastic smooth result. It feels so much better than after a waxing. It's a great size for chin and upper lip.I used the face brush in the shower a couple of times but I think I went to hard with it on the sensitive area around my nose as I came out with a small graze.The only downside of it is that it does seem to eat batteries. You need it rolling fast to decrease the pain so you need the batteries at full strength. Cheap batteries will only last a few treatments. This is why I only gave it 4 stars. For something so small you would think a decent Duracell battery would last forever.All in all I WISH I had bought this years ago. I don't care about sunlight anymore. When out with friends for lunch or dinner I don't have to make sure I am sitting with my back to the sun so my face is in shadow.I don't cringe when my husband touches my face.I am hoping with time the hairs will get finer or even stop growing all together. I keep everything crossed.

Easy to use, felt like lots of tiny electric shocks on my face, chin and neck but not really painful. However, agree with previous reviewer, the upper lip is much more painful, I found doing a little at a time to desensitise first seemed to work for me.I was used to using tweezers, but hair returned within a couple of days. I am getting about 10 days before the hair regrows with this.Agree with another reviewer - battery life is TERRIBLE. You can hear the motor slowing down very soon after replacing the battery. I am not using cheap batteries either.I have only given 3 stars because....- it does not work well with some coarse hair so still need to use tweezers.- battery life is poor as you need to replace after nearly every use.- not cost effective solution due to volume of batteries required.

Great bit of kit that really works

I am generally quite sceptical of grooming devices specifically for the face and have made do with a pair of tweezers for this sensitive area for most of my life, but I decided to buy this product due to it's claims of being speedy, and because I have owned a more conventional epilator by Braun before that has never let me down. So far, I've only used the device once or twice, and will leave another review in a couple of months to provide some more clarity.I am very happy with it at this early stage. I'm by no means unused to epilation on the skin so can't judge how painful it would feel to someone not used to the pulling sensations - only that the tiny epilator head feels gentle enough and is easy to manipulate around really tricky areas above and below the brow - an absolute win for me, as it takes ages to manually groom thick eyebrows with tweezers! It is indeed speedy and effective and I couldn't be more pleased.Though I bought this thing for the epilator alone really, I did try out the cleansing brush attachment and was shocked at how effective that was as well. I tend to wear foundations at least 5 days a week and need to be careful to keep the T-zone of my face clean as this is a problem area for spots and blocked pores. The brush worked beautifully at helping apply my current cleanser and though it sounds rather silly: my face felt really good after my cleansing routine was done, (glowing would be the word). I am seriously impressed here, this is finally a device with an attachment that I won't simply keep in my cupboard and completely forget about: both the epilator and the brush parts have proven to be quick and effective alternatives to manual tweezing, which is glacially slow, and using wash cloths to help with makeup removal, which pull the skin about too much and can actually cause fine lines. The attachments are easy to clean, but I have made a note to be mindful of keeping any moisture out of the main parts as certain reviews I have seen online suggest it isn't as waterproof as intended.Overall, I am hopeful that this device will continue to prove reliable in the coming months and continue to knock time off my cleansing/tweezing routines. If the good results remain (and my face continues to glow like it has been doing!), I'd wager it'll be hard going finding a better facial epilator on the market at this price range.
