General information about epilation
◗
Epilation can lead to ingrown hairs or minor
skin injuries, which may cause inflammations
due to penetration of bacteria into the skin. It
is therefore important to clean the epilating
head very carefully before each use.
◗
Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or
shower. Make sure your skin is completely dry
when you start epilating.
◗
When you use the appliance for the first time,
we advise you to try it out on an area with
only light hair growth to get accustomed to
the epilation process.After epilation you can
apply a mild cream or body milk to soothe
your skin and reduce skin irritation.
◗
We advise you to epilate before goint to bed
at night, as this will allow any skin irritation
that may develop to diminish overnight.
◗
Your skin may become a little red and
irritated the first few times you use the
epilator.This phenomenon is absolutely
normal and will quickly disappear.As you use
the appliance more often, your skin will get
used to epilation, skin irritation will decrease
and regrowth will become thinner and softer.
If the irritation has not disappeared within
three days, we advise you to consult a doctor.
◗
Using the peeling head regularly improves the
appearance of the skin and reduces the risk of
ingrown hairs. Do not use the peeling head
immediately before or after epilation.
