Under arms
Check the skin tone of the area you’re treating
using the Skin Tone chart on page 2.
This is probably one of the easiest areas to
start using the Boots Smooth Skin system
and to learn how it works.
Some parts of the underarm can be sensitive,
especially in the centre where hair growth
is thickest.
Prepare the area as described in section 3 and
remember to use the Activator Gel as directed.
Start by treating the hairs furthest from the
centre of the underarm area, closest to the
elbow, and move steadily towards the breast
as shown, moving in straight lines and taking
care not to treat any area more than once.
do noT use underarm deodorant for at least
24 hours after treatment.
legs
Check the skin tone of the area you’re treating
using the Skin Tone chart on page 2.
Apply Activator Gel and treat small areas of the
leg at a time. A useful tip when treating your
legs is to use a very thin white eyeliner pencil to
mark out straight lines to use as a guide.
You can work either up and down the leg or
across and round the leg but we recommend
you consistently use one method whichever
is easiest for you.
You may also notice that bony areas, the shin
and ankle, are more sensitive.
Knees are better treated with the leg held out
straight and not bent.
For more difficult areas you may require the
help of another person to ensure correct
coverage and prevent any area receiving
overlapping treatments.
