Although it’s still a bit of a taboo, facial hair is a problem for women, too – and, arguably, a far more embarrassing one than it is for men. The world’s first facial epilator and cleansing brush system makes hair removal easy, and can be used quickly and discretely on the go to avoid those awkward moments. With a sleek and compact design for precise epilation, 10 micro-openings catch even the finest hairs (0.02mm) – and the accompanying facial cleansing brush will gently cleanse skin pore-deep with micro-oscillations. A gift she’s certain to be grateful for – though don’t whip it out in front of the entire family!
