Epilation tips
Before you start epilating
Note: Always clean the epilating head of the epilator and the precision epilator before first use.
-
When you use the epilator for the first time, we advise you to try it out on an area with only
light hair growth to get accustomed to the epilation process.
-
We advise you to epilate before going to bed at night, as skin irritation usually disappears
overnight.
-
Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or shower. Make sure your skin is completely dry when
you start epilating.
-
Make sure your skin is clean, entirely dry and free from grease. Do not use any cream before
you start epilating.
-
Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hair has the optimum length of 3–4 mm. If
the hairs are longer, we recommend that you shave first and epilate the shorter regrowing hairs
after 1 or 2 weeks.
-
As your hair grows in different cycles, it is best to epilate a few days in a row when you start
epilating. This will help you to remain stubble-free longer because your hairs will start regrowing
in the same cycle and pace.
-
The epilator is delivered with the basic epilation cap attached. If you want to use it with the
optimal performance cap or the active hairlifter with active massage, detach the basic epilation
cap by pulling it off the appliance and attach the optimal performance cap or the active hairlifter
with active massage (see chapter 'Using the epilator', section 'Epilating the legs with the epilator').
During epilation
-
While epilating, stretch your skin with your free hand. This lifts up the hairs and helps to
minimise the pulling sensation.
-
For optimal performance, place the epilating head on the skin at an angle of 90° with the on/off
button pointing in the direction in which you are going to move the appliance. Guide the
appliance across the skin against the direction of hair growth in a slow, continuous movement
without exerting any pressure.
-
On some areas, hair may grow in different directions. In this case, it may be helpful to move the
appliance in different directions to achieve optimal results.
-
If you sweat during epilation, dab your skin dry with a soft cloth.
-
When you use the optimal performance cap, make sure that both rollers of the skin stretcher
always stay in contact with the skin to ensure an optimal result.
-
When you use the active hairlifter with active massage, make sure the active massaging roller
and the active hairlifter always stay in contact with the skin. The massaging roller stimulates and
relaxes the skin for a gentler epilation.
after epilation
-
To relax the skin, we advise you to apply a moisturising cream immediately after epilation or a
few hours after epilation, depending on what is better for your skin.
-
Regular use of an exfoliating sponge or cream (e.g. during showering) 24 hours after epilation
helps to prevent ingrowing hair, as the gentle scrubbing action removes the upper skin layer and
fine hair can get through to the skin surface.
Using the epilator
1
Insert the appliance plug into the bottom of the appliance and put the adapter in the wall
socket.
Epilating the legs with the epilator
-
If you already have some experience with epilation, you can simply use the epilating head with
the basic epilation cap.
