People In Their 50s Say This $20 Facial Hair Remover Is A ‘Next-Level Holy Effing Grail’
I always believed my natural hairiness was due to my Italian heritage. Every drop-dead gorgeous woman in my family spent Saturdays religiously waxing their upper lips. While it is certainly every individual's choice as to who waxes and why, in my family, it was basically a rite of passage. At 10 years old, I sat at the kitchen table as my mom dripped microwaveable hot wax onto my lip, then ripped it off to searing pain.
When I hit my 20′s, the hair growth was... intense. I realized that it wasn't my heritage alone making me a little fuzzier than the average woman; it was actually a medical condition: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), which causes hirsutism (the rapid growth of facial hair) in women. Now, after over 20 years of waxing, I am done: The skin damage, the pain— I am determined to find a better way. And I think I may have found it in this little-known $20 device hiding on Amazon.
Evidently, facial trimmers are some of the best ways to remove hair. Not only are they painless, but they're also precise.
This particular design is meant to remove facial hair closely without the risk of razor bumps or nicks. It comes with two heads: One for your delicate areas like the upper lip, chin, and neck, and another for your eyebrows and even your nose. As one reviewer put it , the design makes for "great precision and a smooth, gentle trim every time."
It features a 1,000 RPM motor for "faster hair removal" and even comes with a little LED light to make visibility even easier. And with dual blades and a titanium-plated head, skin irritation should be at a minimum. Several reviewers noted how great it is for being cautious with mature and even sensitive skin .
The razor is also portable and rechargeable, so it is easy to throw in your bag for trips or take on the go to freshen up. Additionally, as a fun aside, it's available in a multitude of colors.
While I should be above societal beauty standards, I am, alas, just a girl looking to lead a peach-fuzz-free life. This cool find can give people like me the convenience and ease of hair removal on the go. As someone who has spent many a frantic five minutes in the car plucking out rogue chin hairs before an event, something like this could be life-changing.
Even if you aren't a hairy gal trying to prevent a 5-'o-clock shadow like me, this little device is well worth it for other reasons.
People are reporting it helping with a few different skin needs. Several reviewers also note that it helps remove dead skin.
Plus, one user shared that it also helped with their blackheads triggered by ingrown hairs.
If you wear makeup, just give this a quick swipe over your face, and your products will lay smoother and more evenly than before.
For less than the price of a salad and a Diet Coke, I can embark on my quest for baby-smooth skin? That's an immediate add-to-cart for me. If you're joining that reason or another, then snag it today while the price is this good. Check out more promising reviews below:
