Using the epilator
Clean the epilating head and charge the appliance fully before you use the
appliance for the first time.
Note: You cannot use the appliance while it is connected to the mains.
Epilating tips
Wet: If you are new to epilation, we advise you to start epilating on
-
wet skin, as water relaxes the skin and makes epilation less painful
and gentler. The appliance is waterproof and can be safely used in the
shower or bathtub.
Wet: If you want, you can use your common shower gel or foam.
-
- Dry: If you epilate dry, epilation is easier just after taking a bath or shower.
Dry: Make sure your skin is clean and free from grease.
-
Do not apply any cream to your skin before you start to epilate.
General: We advise you to epilate in the evening, as skin irritation
-
usually disappears overnight.
General: Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hairs
-
have a length of 3-4 mm. If the hairs are longer, we recommend that
you shave first and epilate the shorter regrowing hairs after
1 or 2 weeks. Alternatively, you can trim the hairs to 3-4 mm.
General: Use the skin stretcher to keep the skin tight on your arms or
-
upper legs. The skin stretcher helps to reduce the pain while epilating.
Epilating the legs with the epilator
- If you already have some experience with epilation, you can simply use
the epilating head with the basic epilation cap.
- If your hairs lie flat on your skin, we advise you to use the active hair-
lift and massage cap. This cap not only lifts up the hairs but its active
massaging roller also minimises the pulling sensation of epilation.
Note: Remove the basic epilation cap by pressing its both sides (1) before you
attach another cap (2) or the skin stretcher.
