The invention relates to an epilator (10) comprising an epilation head (18) having at least one rotatable disc-shaped member (20), a massaging member (34) arranged next to the epilation head, and a drive structure for driving the massaging member (34). According to the invention, the drive structure comprises a cylinder (26) for contacting a circumference of said at least one disc-shaped member (20) for the purpose of being rotated by said at least one disc-shaped member (20) about a rotational axis (30), wherein the cylinder (26) has a contact surface which is symmetrical about the rotational axis (30). The drive structure may further comprise an eccentric tappet (32) arranged for being rotated by the cylinder (26).
