I once used a Braun epilator on my chin, and got a red rash which was more unsightly than the hairs!!
I use eyedrops for glaucoma, and one of the side effects is thicker coarser darker facial hair...ugh!! But as the Braun was a disaster (o.k. for legs though), I stick to tweezers, and have to check daily, which is a pain, especially as I need very good light, and the dark winter mornings are so annoying and make it so hard to see. I have no offspring living near me, so just put up with it, but can anyone recommend a gentle but effective epilator for sensitive skin?
I tried 1 session of laser treatment but it was extremely expensive and did not work at all.
Years ago, my local beauty/hairdressing college students used to do epilation and that was very helpful. But they stopped because "it's now out of fashion". Can we start a campaign to get epilation done in salons again?!!!
G.P.s seem to think the side effects don,t matter, and I am just a vain old woman being silly. When are GPs going to admit that quality of life matters as much as the length??!!
