Tired of Shaving and Waxing?
This hair ‘eraser’ recently popped up on one of my Instagram ads promising a pain-free way to remove unwanted hair.
It sounded too good to be true, so I had to test it out.
Erasilk is a new startup that claims to use “Nano Crystalline Glass technology to remove body hair easily, quickly, and painlessly in just five minutes”.
How to use it is simple. Just rub the Erasilk in small circular motions on any unwanted hair and it ‘magically’ removes the strands.
The tool is reusable and is said to not leave any ingrown hairs like shaving sometimes does.
I had my doubts for sure, but surprisingly, it worked!
No shaving, no waxing — just this ‘crystal hair eraser’ that magically removed the hair.
Okay, not really magic.
How Does Erasilk Remove Your Hair?
Here’s the ‘science’ behind it: As you gently rub the smooth stone-like surface of the Erasilk on the skin, it clumps the hair strands together and breaks them from the skin’s surface.
Here you can see it in action:
Does it Hurt?
As it promised, it didn’t hurt one bit. Even if you’re hairy, no problem! Here’s the result on my boyfriend’s arm:
Overall, I was very impressed by it and would recommend it if you don’t want to shave or wax anymore.
If you use an epilator, this is definitely a wayyy less painful hair removal method.
Some other things to take note of:
– Be aware of the numerous cheap copies on the market that, apart from not working well, they can damage your skin.
– You don’t need to charge it or anything since no electricity is involved. Just rinse the tool after you’re done. The Erasilk claims to be reusable for up to 3 years.
– On coarser hair, you might need to apply a bit more pressure as you rub in order for it to work. For me, it worked best on my leg and arm hairs, but not on armpits, unfortunately (also, I don’t think rubbing an armpit excessively is good for the skin in the long run).
– If you’re on the hairier side, it might take a bit more time and effort compared to just shaving. But since it serves as an exfoliator as well, you could do it as you shower and kill two birds with one Erasilk 😛
On the other hand, you do end up saving time by not needing to book a wax salon appointment or deal with the pain of epilating. Plus, my skin did feel real smooth after exfoliating!
The Erasilk comes with a beautiful travel bag, and costs only £50 £33 (please see the update below and enjoy a £17 discount!) with free shipping included.
Where Can I Buy It?
If you want to get it, check out their official website for more information.
I’ve just ordered it with the code, thanks!! Do you know how long does the shipping take?
I bought mine a few weeks ago and it was delivered in just 5 days, not bad 🙂
I had seen these advertised and thought they were too good to be true, but decided to give it a go. What did I have to lose? £30 if it was rubbish. My legs have never felt so smooth, and even better none of that awful bobbly strawberry looking pimple affect I usually get once I have shaved.
AMAZING! Can’t believe it actually works, wouldn’t work as well on thick hair I don’t think but medium to fine hairs buff off in seconds. My husband thought I’d bought a piece of rubbish but after a quick demo he was getting me to do his back.
I agree! This leaves your skin so smooth and silky. Add some moisturiser after and it’s leave it feeling so good.
Great article! I already knew it, I bought mine 4 weeks ago 🙂
Wanted to try this to take on last minute holiday.. what a great finding!!
Does it hurt?
It does not hurt at all and will remove all the hair. It takes more time than shaving, but I like that it is safe for my 12 year old daughter to use.
Lovely product, removes hair very quickly and leaves smooth skin. No irritation afterwards either. Would recommend!
