Worry-free sports

It took a while, you know – about eight years – before the little voice in my head finally got its way again. I'm talking about sports. You probably know it well: every week you think about it, but actually doing it… No way. Last year it finally happened when my good friend Bente enthusiastically texted me if I wanted to join her personal training because ‘this was really something for me‘. The appointment was set and I couldn't back out anymore. Off I went, a bit nervous, stepping on my bike towards the park. It was exactly one of those days when it was 31 degrees and everyone was in sportswear as if we were on Miami Beach. During the stretching, I was overwhelmed by a line that was level on my leg. Well, guess what I saw, even without my glasses: hair. Those dark little hairs that I don't want on my body. They stared at me and I suddenly felt so uncomfortable. I already felt that way – because of those Miami Beach athletes in the park – but now… I always have the idea that everyone sees it too, do you recognize that feeling? Well, I absolutely never wanted this again: I promised myself right there that after the training I would sit behind my computer at home looking for a long-term solution. And I found it, you know: the Philips Lumea with IPL technology, the number one brand in IPL hair removal worldwide. What an invention and exactly what I was looking for.

An investment that you really benefit from. You don't have to go out the door for it and that's really a plus for me. I'm really bad at making follow-up appointments, but with my Lumea it all happens automatically because the app indicates on time (I set it two days in advance) when it's needed again. I find it a party.

I now exercise about twice a week outside and because the weather in the Netherlands is always so unpredictable, it often happens that I start with a thick sweater and within no time I'm so warm that I'm glad I'm still wearing a tank top. I no longer have to be insecure about the status of my armpits, because I personally also like them hair-free and they are now. When you start with Philips Lumea, there is a schedule indicated by the app that you must follow and then it's just a matter of keeping up. I'm almost a year in and to be honest: my good friend Lumea does her job perfectly. She lies neatly in a handy bag in my bathroom drawer, together with different attachments, and if you think you don't have space for it: don't worry. She's super compact, so she fits perfectly in your bathroom too. Do you prefer your legs, armpits, and for example your bikini line hair-free, just like me? Then this is the perfect solution for you.
