The best epilator should be durable and handy. This article gives you the reviews of the different epilators available in the market.
Epilators are an excellent alternative to the conventional hair removal methods like shaving and waxing. Before we look at the different epilators let me tell you the difference between a depilatory process and epilators. Although many think that they are one and the same, they are not.
Epilator is an electrical instrument that has rotating razor blades in them. It is rolled over the skin for hair removal. All you have to do is just switch it on and place it on the body part and slide it along the length, in the opposite direction of hair growth. Depilatory creams are products that dissolve the hair superficially, whereas an epilator plucks out the hair from the roots.
As far as the pain is concerned, it is the same caused by waxing but with less intensity. It is also milder as compared to waxing because, in waxing the strip that takes off the hair also takes off the uppermost layer of dead skin. Let us go through the best epilators available in the market.

Demerits of Epilators
Although there are not many significant drawbacks of epilators, even the best of them do not offer skin exfoliation. So, after the process is done, you need to scrub your skin for avoiding ingrown hair.
Secondly, the process is quite slower to that of waxing because even after the process, some hair is still on your skin.
