I thought I would share what has been a godsend to me. I never had a beard or anything like that, but I have been waxing upper lip for a few years, since turning 40. Also, I was blessed with a thick head of hair on my head, and so I was cursed with thicker than I would like leg, underarm hair. Although I have nice skin, I would break out everytime I shaved, which would ruin any vacation.

I started using an epilator (I use emjoy epi-pro) a few years ago, all over, everywhere (and inbetween) - even rouge hairs on chin and upper lip. I haven't shaved my legs or underarms in 3 years, and I have no bumps and hardly any hair left. After a while it is like permanent hair removal, and what does grow is very fine.

It hurts the first time, after that it's breeze. It's been life changing and liberating to me, not to mention I can now take 10 minute showers, whereas before it was atleast 45 min longer to shave, and 10 minutes to put on anti-bump lotion after.
