GETTING STARTED
GENERAL INFORMATION ON EPILATION
The rotating tweezers catch even short hairs and pull them out by the root. The hairs that
grow back are soft and thin. Epilating leaves your skin smooth and hair-free for several
weeks.
If you have not used an epilator before, or if you have not epilated for a long period of time,
it may take a short while for your skin to adapt to epilation. The discomfort experienced at
first is considerably reduced with repeated use as the skin adjusts to the process.
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.
All methods of hair removal from the root can result in in-growing hair depending on the
condition of the skin and hair. Regular exfoliation helps to prevent in-growing hair.
In some cases inflammation of the skin could occur when bacteria penetrate the skin (e.g.
when moving the appliance over the skin). Thorough cleaning of the epilation head before
each use will minimise the risk of infection.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
USEFUL TIPS
•
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.
•
The optimum length for hair removal is between 2-5mm. Epilation is easier and more
comfortable.
•
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.
•
Epilate in the evening so that any possible reddening can disappear overnight.
•
After use you can use a body cream or aloe lotion to soothe the skin and reduce skin
irritation.
•
Exfoliate regularly to avoid in-growing hair
EXFOLIATE
•
Exfoliation prevents in-growing hairs. Ingrown hairs occur when the growing hair curls
up under the skin instead of growing out like it should. It results in an often painful red
bump and possible infection. Rubbing your skin with an exfoliation glove in the
shower or bath, or using a dry body brush will help reduce ingrown hairs or infections.
•
Before epilating ensure the skin is clean, dry and free from creams or oils.
•
Rub the skin in the area to be epilated to lift short hairs to optimise hair removal.
•
Ensure the Epilator is OFF and attach the power cord to the product and then to the
mains.
