Some useful tips

Epilation is easier and more com- fortable when the hair is at the op- timal length of 2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in.). If hairs are longer, we recommend to pre-cut to this length.

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 peel- ings 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.
