Underarm and bikini line epilation Use tests monitored by dermatol- ogists have shown that the epilator head may as well be used underarm and at the bikini line. Be aware that these areas are particularly sensitive to pain. However, the pain sensation will diminish with repeated usage. For this specific application, we would like to give the following advice:
•Before epilating, thoroughly clean the respective area to remove residue (like deodorant).
Then dry carefully with a towel using a dabbing action to avoid skin irritation.
•Hair should not be longer than 5 mm.
•After use, apply Silk·épil cream or baby powder (don’t use alcoholic deodorants).
How to operate your Silk·épil Before starting off, make sure that the epilator head is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Your skin must be dry and free from grease or cream.
•Plug the cord connector into the socket and plug the transformer into an electrical outlet.
1Switching on 0 = Off
1 = For gentle epilation
2 = For
2Rub your skin to lift short hairs. Apply the Silk·épil at right angles (90°) against your skin. For best epilation results, make sure that the soothing attachment wheels always keep in contact with the skin surface. Pressing gently, guide it slowly against the hair growth. Underarm this means guiding the appliance in different directions. Do not press too hard. On bony parts, we recommend to use a lower switch setting.
3When epilating behind the knee, keep the leg stretched out straight; when epilating under- arm, your arm should be raised up.
