considerably with repeated use as the skin
adapts to the process.
Epilation is easier and more comfortable
when the hair is at the optimum length of
2-5 mm. If hairs are longer, we recommend
that you shave first and epilate the shorter,
re-growing hairs after 1 or 2 weeks.
When epilating for the first time, it is
advisable to epilate in the evening, so that
any possible reddening can disappear
overnight. To relax the skin we recommend
applying a moisture cream after epilation.
Fine hair which re-grows 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-growing hair as the gentle scrubbing
action removes the upper skin layer and fine
hair can get through to the skin surface.
