would it be madness to just use my epilator on my face?

I have never felt the need to remove hair from my face, but recently I have noticed the odd dark hair either side of my mouth.

So could I just epilate them all off in a oner or would it hurt like shit?

It hurts like hell but is very effective.

I usually wax the blonde hairs off my top lip but tried epilating them last week because I was curious and it was fine.

Cool, I will give it a whirl. Grin

I did - quaking - last week as well and it was fine too!

As it happens, less painful than threading as much faster.

Also cheaper - but I have yet to try the eyebrows Grin

Eyebrows maybe a step too far. Grin

I have had a go and my skin looks a bit pink, but it didn't really hurt and I expect that that will have gone by the morning.

I wouldn't try eyebrows but only because I'd be worried that my epilator might take off like a run away lawn mower and take off the whole lot Grin

Well done hugo Smile

My epilator comes with a facial attachment - a very narrow opening. I just use the normal one though Hmm It's somewhat painful on the old tache.

I should have added I use it on the tache, tried icecubes and hot compresses to numb it, might just try a large whisky the next time.

But be really careful- I did this and caught my lip, ripped some skin off, it was very sore Sad
