Usage Tips - Remington Smooth & Silky EP-5000 Use And Care Manual

n 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.
n All methods of hair removal from
the root can result in ingrown hairs
depending on the condition of the
skin and hair. Regular exfoliation
helps to prevent ingrown hairs. In
some cases inflammation of the skin
could occur when bacteria penetrate
the skin (e.g. when sliding the
appliance over the skin). Thorough
cleaning of the epilation head before
each use will minimize the risk of
infection.
n 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.
n The optimum length for hair removal
is between .02-.05" or .5-1.27mm.
Epilation is easier and more
comfortable with this hair length.
n 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.
n Your skin should be clean and dry of
creams or oils.

Usage Tips

For the Best Results:
n Best results are achieved by gliding
the epilator lightly over the shin in
short, circular motion-sweeping
the head up and away at the end of
each pass. The discs should gently
glide over the skin, barely touching it.
If you press too hard, a built-in safety
measure slows or stops the discs
altogether.
n Repeat the motion within the same
area a few times until all hair is
removed. The duration of use
depends on the quantity and density
of the hair. After several months of
cumulative use, there will be less
hair and those remaining will be
thinner. There will also be a longer
interval between re-growth of the
hair.
n You may want to epilate in the evening
so that any possible reddening can
disappear overnight.
n After use, you can use a body cream
or aloe lotion to soothe the skin and
reduce skin irritation.
n Regularly exfoliate after epilation to
avoid ingrown hairs.
n For best results, the unit should be
cleaned after every use.
n The Remington
used safely on the bikini line. If the
bikini line hair is too long, trim first
with either scissors or a trimmer.
Afterwards, you can use the epilator
to remove the hair from the root for
weeks for a smooth and beautiful
bikini line.
