Using an epilator may cause reddening or irritation of the skin. This is a normal reaction
that will quickly disappear. However, you should consult your doctor if the irritation has
not disappeared within three days.
All methods of hair removal from the root can result in in-growing hair depending on the
condition of the skin and hair. Regular exfoliation helps to prevent in-growing hair.
In some cases inflammation of the skin could occur when bacteria penetrate the skin (e.g.
when moving the appliance over the skin). Thorough cleaning of the epilation head
before each use will minimise the risk of infection.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
TIPS
•
When using an epilator for the first time it is best to try it on a small area to get used
to the process of epilation.
•
The optimum length for hair removal is between 2-5mm. Epilation is easier and
more comfortable.
•
Take a warm bath or shower before epilating and exfoliate to remove dead skin
cells.
•
This will make your skin more pliable, making the epilation process less
uncomfortable.
•
Epilate in the evening so that any possible reddening can disappear overnight.
•
After use you can use a body cream or aloe lotion to soothe the skin and reduce skin
irritation.
•
Exfoliate regularly to avoid in-growing hair
EXFOLIATE
Exfoliation prevents in-growing hairs. Ingrown hairs occur when the growing hair curls
up under the skin instead of growing out like it should. It results in an often painful red
bump and possible infections. Using the Exfoliating Brush Head provided with this
product will help reduce ingrown hairs or infections.
WET USE
Ensure the skin is moist. For added comfort, shower gel can be added to the skin during
use. It is best to try different methods to determine your preferred method of epilation.
Note
: after each wet use with shower gel, clean the epilator under running water.
DRY USE:
Before epilating make sure that the skin is clean, dry and free from creams or oils. Rub the
skin in the area to be epilated to lift short hairs to optimise hair removal.
