Bol.com offered a wide range of epilator products and SkinSpa seemed to have very positive reviews so – reasurred by the policy of 30 days no-questions-asked return policy – I decided to try it out.
…and I am very glad I can return it.
When I used SkinSpa epilator head for the first time the tweezer system it employs did feel less painful than the rotating disk one I always used before and indeed it seemed like the tweezers were able to grab the shortest hairs. Together with the extensive set of related extras it seemed like a good option.
I was not really sold on the brush – way too delicate in my oppinion, would not be able to revitalize skin in any meaningful way.
Shaving and trimming caps were also pretty much useless for me, but the whole package seemed really decent.
Until 2 days passed, that is, as this is when I discovered to my utter surprise and dissapointment that – at least in my case – Silk-épil’s tweezer system breaks my hair off at the base rather than pulling them out… The hair just grew back like after shaving, while with my previous rotating disk epilators the period before it would grow back was longer and indeed the hair growing back would have fine tips indicating it’s new hair growing back.
I did a shave test too – shaved one armpit and depilated the other.
The results were conclusive, both areas grew back exactly the same!
Now, there seem to be a lot of positive reviews for tweezer systems out there that seem objective so I’d like to stress out taht – as in most cases when it comes to personal beauty routines – personal is the keyword. But at least in my case, this system simply does not work at all so I am returnign the set and purchasing a familiar rotating disk one (though I am still considering Philips Lumea system as well).
