Amazon Prime Day 2019: We've found the best beauty deal of the sale
Treat yourself to smoother legs for longer at the fraction of the price with this trusty IPL hair remover
Calling all beauty gurus: Amazon's huge 48-hour Prime Day sale has seen some impressive discounts on a range of beauty gadgets so far, but we've found the deal of the day that will not only leave your legs smooth, but will also leave your bank account in better shape.
Whether you're having to invest in regular waxing appointments, or opting for the laborious task of shaving – there's no denying that we've all dreamed of investing in an IPL hair remover at some point, to banish hairs for longer, with far less pain.
However, the price tag of a home hair removal machine can often be enough to make us reach for the Veet cream once more.
Well the dream is far more affordable now. With its normal £610 price tag (ouch), grooming guru Braun has slashed the price of its Silk-expert Pro 5 PL5137 IPL by more than half, now available for just £274.99.
Our IndyBest team has hand-picked this deal. We may earn some commission from the links in this article, but our selections have been made independently and without bias. This revenue helps to fund journalism across The Independent.
This 55 per cent discount makes this one of the most impressive beauty gadget deals of Amazon's Prime Day sale.
And in even better news, here at IndyBest, we have reviewed similar products from Braun's Silk-expert Pro range, so we can confidently recommend investing in one.
Our expert had this to say about Braun's Silk-Expert IPL BD 5009, a model from the same range, with similar features:
"We’d recommend this IPL device for anyone with more sensitive skin. It has “gentle” and “extra-gentle” settings which we found were the most comfortable to use.
It’s also the only device we tested that adapts the power setting to your skin tone as you use it, meaning you don’t need to change things manually."
IPL isn’t a laser, but rather a spectrum of light and wavelengths that reduces hair growth gradually. Anyone using an IPL machine will find that there will be some regrowth, so areas would need to be redone, possibly every six to 12 months.
Braun claim that their Pro 5 IPL is the "safest, fastest and most efficient" IPL, promising to banish hair permanently in just four weeks (we're impressed).
The discounted Silk-expert Pro 5 PL5137 IPL features SensoAdapt technology, which tailors the hair removal treatment to your skin type, continuously reading the skin tone to adapt the flash intensity for the safest and most effective results.
The precision head helps you tackle tricky areas, like the bikini line, or face, while the different modes help you target specific body parts, such as the stamp mode, for smaller, sensitive areas.
If you're looking looking to bag a bargain on this better-than-half-price IPL hair remover, then you better act fast, as the deal is only around for today – the last leg of Amazon's mammoth shopping event.
