This epilator has a super durable battery and has a 60-minute on just a single charge

With a runtime of 60 minutes on a single charge, this epilator is good enough to smooth and de-hair your body from head to toe, and give you a salon experience from the comfort of your own home. 

It's the world's first epilator with ProGuide with 360° visibility for gentle and efficient results. It helps you keep a steady, 75° angle which keeps your skin tight, while the LED light, with a wavelength of 940mm helps spot and easily remove more hairs. 

The SkinLED attachment allows you to target specific areas like the under-eye area, chin and more with a simple five-minute pre-programmed routine, meaning you don't have to worry about overdoing it and potentially damaging your skin.

Those whose facial hair grows quickly can experience a close facial hair shave with the Facial Hair Remover attachment - it's ultra-gentle, making it a great option for those with sensitive skin. 

The attachments that make this an everyday essential are the brushes. The facial cleansing brush makes it easier than ever to get rid of any makeup, grime and impurities, helping prevent clogged pores that lead to acne, and allowing you to do your regular skincare with a completely clean base. 

The body exfoliation brush is a game-changer - it's gentle enough that skin doesn't feel like it's been scrubbed raw, but it leaves it feeling truly clean and smooth, especially after the epilator has been used.  

And it's clear that customers are loving the Philips Beauty Set, with one satisfied customer saying, 'This is a great multi-use product. I love it has many features with one item. The exfoliation is great and I feel it leaves my skin feeling soft. The facial hair remover works great also. The best part is it is waterproof.' 

Another added, 'This beauty device holds numerous purposes. Its an epilator, LED red light device, 2 super soft cleansing brush heads and a seperate facial hair remover,'

'The epilator is painful but the numbness kicks in quick and is bareable. Love ghe pouch it comes in and is well made and soft to keep everything protected.'

A third reviewer raved: 'The beauty set feels like a high-end grooming kit that could easily replace all my other gadgets. The interchangeable heads make it incredibly versatile, allowing you to switch between different beauty tools depending on your needs,'

'I also love that it can be used both wet and dry, making it perfect for shower use or quick touch-ups. The battery life and charging time are great.'

You can use both on wet and dry skin, making this an ultra-versatile hair removal solution

I was excited to try this as a (hopefully more sustainable) alternative to shaving, and was eager to try the other features as well. 

I really like the kit overall, the heads are easy to interchange, and the soft case makes it easy to store, and thanks to the fact it weighs surprisingly little, it will definitely become an addition to my travel suitcase.  

I've recently gotten into using an LED mask daily, and this one offers efficient spot treatment LED therapy, perfect for when I'm in a pinch, and saves me taking my entire mask when I'm away. 

The brush heads are probably my favourite attachments - cleansing my face and body has never been so effective, and the fact that I can even use it in the shower has made this an essential part of my everyday routine. 

Now, the main part. I have to admit, I have only ever shaved - never waxed or used an epilator or lazer hair removal, so I don't think I realised how strange the epilator heads would feel. 

I did initially find it quite painful to use, and while I have gotten somewhat used to it, I can't imagine myself reaching for this over using my trusty shaving method. Though I will say it was significantly less painful to use when my leg hair was wet. 

 The epilator might provide longer lasting results (and the results were pretty good), but I think I'd rather shave more often completely pain free. 

This is obviously my preference as someone with a shockingly low pain tolerance, but for someone used to epilators or with a higher pain tolerance, this is a must-buy.

Overall, I will continue to use this everyday for the face and body brushes, and hopefully will get brave enough to use the epilator more consistently.
