Facial epilation
• Before use, make sure your skin and the epilation
head are thoroughly clean.
• Turn on the appliance by sliding the on/off switch
(2) to the left or to the right. The rotating direction
of the tweezers depends on the direction
you move the switch when turning on. For best
results, make sure that the tweezers rotate against
the direction of hair growth.
• To become familiar with the appliance, we recom-
mend trying it first on the chin or near the outer
corners of the mouth.
• Hold the appliance with the tweezers against a
section of skin that you keep stretched with your
free hand. Carefully guide it with gentle pressure
against the direction of hair growth.
Do not press too hard as this may lead to skin
injury. To stretch the upper lip area, you may use
your tongue to push from below.
• After use, slide the on/off switch to the «o» (= off)
position.
• Carefully clean the epilation head using the
cleaning brush provided. You may want to dip the
brush into ethanol (70%). Make sure that it is com-
pletely dry before you re-attach it and close it with
the protective cap.
• To relax the skin we recommend applying a
moisturizing cream after epilation.
• When epilating for the first time, it is advisable to
epilate in the evening, so that any reddening can
disappear overnight.
Facial cleansing
Pull off the epilator head and attach the brush/pad
adapter (6) provided with a cleansing brush (5a) or
vitalizing pad (5b). Before use, moisten your skin.
• Use the cleansing brush or vitalizing pad as part
of your daily cleansing routine with water, soap,
cleanser, cleansing milk, gel or exfoliating
products.
• The vitalizing pad additionally provides an inten-
sive massage to improve your skin appearance.
Guide the brush/pad with gentle pressure and
circular motions. Avoid the eye area and hairline.
After use, rinse the brush/pad (5a/5b) with warm
water. You may detach the brush/pad unit by pres-
sing the release button (6a). After cleaning, leave
all parts to dry completely before reattaching.
For best results, replace the brush/pad (5a/b) every
3 months. Different types of refills (Ref. no. 80 Face)
are available from your retailer.
