Do-It-Yourself Alternative To Facial Waxing Or Dangerous Creams

smooth_faceIt’s a problem that many women have, but we never want to talk about it – facial hair! As a rule, women aren’t supposed to have facial hair, but some times our peach fuzz can get a bit unruly and spread to places it shouldn’t be, like our chin and upper lip.

Getting rid of it can be a real pain with only partially satisfying results… Waxing can last for a while, but is also quite painful and doesn’t always get hair from the roots. And forget facial hair removing creamsicon… They are smelly, don’t work very well, and can cause burns and severe redness on your delicate facial skin.

Don’t worry though, we found a great alternative that’s safe, very effective, and will save you tons of money. It’s a self-threading tool called Epicare.

EpicareTM is a threading-inspired, new tool for facial hair removal. Natural, safe and convenient, this small device with its spring action removes hair from the roots. This is a new and effective way to deal with unwanted facial hair. You just roll it over your chin, cheeks, or upper lip and it plucks hairs from the roots without leaving skin red and swollen like waxing does.

hair_rootsAdmittedly, I was pretty nervous about trying it. It looked it was going to be really painful! Sufice to say it wasn’t quite as bad as i thought it would be. I do recommend trying it on your chin first, as it’s probably the least sensitive spot and will allow you to get used to the sensation before you move to more sensitive areas. It can be a bit disconcerting at first, but it’s actually a little bit like waxing, just without the horrific aftermath. After a minute or two, I was accustomed to the device and it was actually really easy to use.

I’ve tried several facial hair removal products. Nairicon is horrendous. Not only does it not work, it burns your skin. Then there is the Veet Ready To Use Wax Stripsicon, which aren’t bad if you don’t mind locking yourself inside the house for 24 hours afterwards so your face can recuperate…

Epicare is just waaaay easier to use. Like 3 minutes and you’re done. And you don’t even have to really be in the mirror to do it. I used the mirror the first time, but after that I pretty much knew what I was doing, and I used it while watching TV. Seriously, that easy.

It comes with easy instructions, but you can watch a quick video on YouTube.com that shows you how easy it is to use.

This device gave me the best results, with the least amount of fuss. If you are looking for an easy way to remove facial hair, this is it!

Purchase your own Epicare on Amazon.com. Or you can purchase Epicare directly at faceauthority.com for $16.99 and get FREE shipping in the US!

    It’s not painless! It’s a lot like waxing, but you don’t end up with red swollen skin afterwards! It’s really easy to use and great for touch ups. I think you’ll like it.

    I was considering getting the girl at my salon who does my eyebrows to do my upper lip and chin too, but not after I used this little wonder. Will save me loads of cash!!

    That is what I am thinking – it will save me money in the long run. I spend too much on waxing as it is.

    I think I am going to order one plus they take PayPal so its like paying cash and not putting it on my credit card. Thanks for the review. If I have any more questions, I hope you don’t mind me contacting you again.

    Yeah, definitely let me know if you have any questions!

    Tip: roll it a little briskly, because if you do it too slow, it pulls too many hairs out at once and hurts more. Think of it like waxing… quick and painless!
