Epilation tips
Before you start epilating
Note: Always clean the epilating head before first use.
-- When you use the appliances for the first time, we advise you to try them 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 either shave first and epilate the shorter regrowing hairs after 1 or 2 weeks or that you use the sensitive area shaving head with the trimming comb to pretrim hairs to this ideal length.
-- 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’).
