Tried and tested: Braun Silk-Epil 9

IS epilation too harsh for sensitive skin? Emily Wright plucks up the courage to try Braun’s new multi-purpose device...

“The Braun Silk-Epil 9 can be used wet or dry, so I first tried it out while having a soak in the tub. I was prepared for epilation to smart, because I have quite sensitive skin, and while I did wince as the first few leg hairs were tweezed out at the root by the revolving head, overall, it wasn’t too painful, and as I got the hang of it, I got a lot faster.

“My follicles were a little red after but they soon calmed down, and I was impressed with the long-lasting effects compared to shaving.
