Some useful tips

If you have not used an epilator before, or if you have not epilated for a longer period of time, it may take a short time for your skin to adapt to epilation. The discomfort experienced in the beginning will decrease considerably with repeated use as the skin adapts to the process.

Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hair is at the optimum length of

2-5 mm. 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 recommend 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.

Preparing your skin

Optional skin cooling: For the first few epilations or if you have sensitive skin, you can use the cooling application, recom- mended by dermatologists to help reduce possible skin irritation.

•Ensure that the gel pack has been in the deep freezer (***) for at least 2 hours (for convenience you can store the gel packs in the freezer).

•Insert the gel pack underneath the glove‘s transparent foil. Use only with glove.

•Put transparent (cool) side of the glove on your leg.

•Start cooling for approx. 1/2 minute, longer if needed.

•Epilate the cooled skin area immediately.

•Repeat cooling and epilating until completion.

•While epilating, please ensure your skin is dry.
