Braun Silk-épil SoftPerfection 3370 Mode D'emploi page 9

In the following cases, this appliance
should only be used after prior consulta-
tion with a physician:
– eczema, wounds, inflamed skin
reactions such as folliculitis (purulent
hair follicles) and varicose veins
– around moles
– reduced immunity of the skin, e.g.
diabetes mellitus, during pregnancy,
Raynaud's disease
– haemophilia or immune deficiency.
Some useful tips
Epilation is easier and more comfortable
when the hair is at the optimum length of
2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in). If hairs are longer,
we recommend that you either 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 recom-
mend 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.

2 Rub your skin to lift short hairs.
For optimum performance hold the
appliance at a right angle (90°) against
your skin. Guide it in a slow, continuous
movement without pressure against
the hair growth, in the direction of the
switch. The SoftLift
that even flat lying hair is lifted and
removed thoroughly at the root.
As hair can grow in different directions,
it may also be helpful to guide the
appliance in different directions to
achieve optimum results.
Both rollers of the massaging rollers
clip should always be kept in contact

with the skin in order to stimulate and
relax the skin for a gentler epilation.
