A Epilation
Epilation tips
If you have not used an epilator before, or
if you have not epilated for a longer period
of time, it may take a short time for your
skin to adapt to epilation. The discomfort
experienced in the beginning will decrease
considerably with repeated use as the
skin adapts to the process.
When epilating for the first time, it is advis-
able to epilate in the evening, so that any
possible reddening can disappear over-
night. To relax the skin we recommend
applying a moisture cream after epilation.
Epilation is easier and more comfortable
when the hair is at the optimum length of
2–5 mm. If hairs are longer, we recom-
mend that you shave first and epilate the
shorter, re-growing hairs after 1 or 2
weeks. Alternatively, you can trim the
hairs to 5 mm length.
Fine, regrowing hairs might not grow up
to the skin surface. The regular use of
massage sponges (e.g. after showering)
or exfoliation peelings helps to prevent in-
grown hair as the gentle scrubbing action
removes the upper skin layer and fine hair
can get through to the skin surface.
Dry usage: Your skin must be dry and free
from grease or cream.
Wet usage: The appliance can be used on
wet skin, even under running water. Make
sure that the skin is very moist in order to
achieve optimum gliding conditions for
the appliance. After each wet usage, clean
the appliance under running water.
How to epilate
Before use, always make sure that the
epilation head (2) is clean and provided
with a cap (1a or 1b).
1
Select speed «I» for a gentle epilation
and speed «II» for an efficient epilation.
2
Always stretch your skin when epilating.
Make sure that the epilation area is in
contact with your skin.
Guide the appliance in a slow, continuous
movement without pressure against the
hair growth, in the direction of the switch.
As hair can grow in different directions, it
may also be helpful to guide the appliance
in different directions to achieve optimum
results. The massage cap (1a) ensures
