Philips Beauty Satinelle Essential Compact Hair Removal Epilator for Women, BRE235/04 (Corded Use Only)

Good quality
I was a little worried about buying this because the price is so much lower than other epilators, and I thought it would be of not such a good quality. However, after I used it, I am more than satisfied. Everything I read about epilators online and in these comments/reviews is true. It does hurt, it is uncomfortable, and you do get red dots on your skin after you use it. However, it is also true that if you read the instructions provided with the epilator carefully before using it, everything will be fine. I used it on my underarms and my legs, and both are smooth. My underarms hurt a little more than my legs, but nothing an average person cannot handle. I had a damp washcloth with me, and I pressed it lightly against my skin after I was done using the epilator to reduce pain and inflammation. It worked like a charm.If you are scared to somehow mess it up and hurt yourself, I would first recommend read the instructions carefully and follow them. Secondly, below I describe exactly what I did, step by step, so that you may know what worked for me. Also, I have attached a picture of my underarm the morning after I had used the epilator.1) Plan to shower at night, as it makes everything easier (You’ll see why later).2) rinse the head of the epilator when you take it out of the package, and let it dry completely before you use it.3) while the head of the epilator dries, read the instructions and safety warnings.4) Shower – clean and exfoliate very carefully the areas you plan on using the epilator on.5) No lotion – I usually put on lotion after I shower, but this time, I limited myself to putting on lotion only in the areas I was not using the epilator on. The areas I was going to epilate, I simply dried.6) When you are ready, placed the dry head on the epilator and plug it in. Turn it on.7) lightly grace the epilator over your skin. It will be uncomfortable as your hairs are being pulled out, but try to go as slowly as possible to avoid accidentally cutting hairs instead of pulling them out.8) Go against the direction in which your hair grows. Some comments here say to go in the direction of hair growth, but the instructions that came with the epilator say otherwise.9) after you are done using the epilator, or whenever you deem it necessary, turn it off and use the provided brush to brush off hair off the epilator’s head. When finished using the epilator, rinse it under cold water again and let it dry completely before storing it.10) Once you are done, if your skin hurts/burns, lightly press a damp washcloth on it (preferably cold).11) apply unscented lotion to the area you just epilated, and massage the area.12) if you do this at night and you epilated your underarms, go to sleep without applying deodorant. Let the skin breathe overnight. You will notice red spots show up after you epilate, but they will go away by morning (see picture attached).13) When morning comes, assess the state of your skin and do whatever you think best for your well-being as long as it doesn’t go against the safety instructions the epilator came with.I know it is scary, but if you take a deep breath and follow the instructions, everything will be fine. I am really excited to have less and less hair as time goes by!

Compact Epilator
I was skeptical about the size, took a chance on the purchase, and am quite pleased. It works perfectly for those who need a quick touch up on the chin/underarms.

Painfully awesome!
I grew up watching my mom use one of these all over her body and hearing people call her crazy for withstanding the pain. We’re from Brazil, so we’re used to waxing and it doesn’t feel too different from that, except maybe waxing with a professional aesthetician goes a lot quicker (but if you’re waxing yourself, it takes virtually the same time).The pain is relative, to my body and my hair quantity and thickness, it took just a couple of turns to get it to start thinning out and now it’s almost painless.The best tip I can give is to do it right after a super hot shower as your pores will be open and the hair will come out easier. Also, use baby powder to help with friction burns!! I still haven’t mastered the technique on my underarms, every time I use it at least a small area of my skin will get friction burnt and it sucks for the first day, but after a short time it heals and I have the smoothest underarms ever. If anyone knows how to deal with this I’m all ears!!Overall it’s a great product and super cost effective!!

J’ai toujours été chez l’ésthéticienne mais avec le cout de la vie et le faire sois même 😅 il a des endroits pas évident seul.Je n’ai jamais toujours à aucun rasoir alors j’ai opté pour cette appareil. Ma mère l’utilise depuis des années alors pourquoi pas.Sa ma prit de temps a m’habituer à la sensation/douleur 🤭 Mais maintenant aucun problème et beaucoup moin de poil. Sa prend 3 mois avant de refaire mes jambes. 2 semaine avant mes aisselles. Le poil doux et moin fort qu’une personne au rasoir.
