Braun Silk- Epil Xpressive PRO.jpgIf electronic epilation is your chosen method of depilation (try saying THAT before you've had a coffee!) then you'll be aware that technology is getting better all the time at reducing both the ouch-factor and the length of hair it's possible to remove. And Braun's Silk-Epil range has now produced a gadget that they claim will do both these jobs particularly well.

The new Braun Silk-Epil Xpressive Pro, available next month, has been spruced up with close-grip technology to remove even shorter hairs than before, for long lasting smooth skin. They've also increased the Silk-Epil's speed and given it a new set of high-frequency massaging rollers, which soothe the pain of the epilation process. Best of all though, the handset itself is quite a beauty, with shimmering beads set into the handle. Smart!

The Braun Silk-Epil Xpressive Pro is available from 1 Feb at Boots, Amazon, Argos and selected supermarkets. Priced at £129.99
