Braun beauty set 9 flex with facespa
Best: Overall
Rating: 10/10
The most luxurious epilator we tried, this offering from Braun comes in a suede zipped case with a succinct and easy to follow guide, making it simple to store and get started in seconds. It’s a sophisticated kit that comes with a massage roller cap, which makes for a gentler experience when removing hair, a skin contact cap to speed it up, and a facial cap for sensitive areas, along with two exfoliation brushes, a body massage pad, shaver and trimmer. Braun’s electrical facespa brush with a spare battery and brush head is included too. It’s still compact, however, and you don’t feel like you’re overflowing with accessories and add-on bits.
The epilator is flexible and can be tilted forward, backwards and side to side, which is especially handy when tackling your bikini line and the contours of the inner thigh. The handle has an anti-slip grip, so it won’t fall through your fingers if you’re using it with wet hands in the shower. It’s a lot less painful to use on wet skin. It has a red indicator light that lets you know you’re applying the right amount of pressure, so it’s hard to go wrong if it’s your first time epilating.
Our only gripe is that it takes two hours of charging for 40 mins of cordless use, so stick on Netflix while you wait. Keep in mind too that it doesn’t come with a UK three-pin plug, so you will need a two-pin plug adapter to get it going.
