<strong>EPICURE</strong> weddings HAIR REMOVAL Being fuzz free on the big day is a must for most brides, but the hassle of shaving, especially on honeymoon, is a bore. More permanent solutions are a great idea. If you're fed up of constant trips to be waxed, home IPL kits are a dream. Silk'n build on the world-renowned HPL technology with Galvanic Energy and Optical Energy. These energies combine to give you a more efficient hair removal solution. Working together with 5 different energy levels, they open the skin pores and allow the light to reach the hair follicles without pain, irritation or ingrown hairs. This means that you can remove your hair up to twice as fast, and even do a full-body treatment in less than 20 minutes. With 400,000 light pulses, you don't have to worry about cartridge refills either. Easy to use, the Silk'n Infinity is quick too - you can cover your whole body in less than 20 minutes. Start your treatment a few months prior to the big day to ensure complete results. It's safe for dark and black skin on the lowest intensity levels too. Silk'n Infinity, £229, CurrentBody.com If you're needing some wax to banish a little bit of lip fuzz, it's essential you choose sensitive formulas - we recommend Jolen's specially formulated strips for sensitive skin which offer up to 4 weeks of results.
