Some useful tips

For the first use or if not having epilated for a long time, we recom- mend to first shave longer hairs. After 1-2 weeks, the regrowing, short hairs are much easier to epilate.

In the beginning, it is advisable to epilate in the evening, so that any possible reddening can disappear overnight.

Hair is easier to remove after bath- ing or showering (but remember your skin must be completely dry).

After epilating, we recommend applying Silk·épil cream or another moisture cream to relax the skin and relieve slight skin irritations.

It may happen that regrowing fine hairs do not manage to get through to the skin surface.

In order to prevent the risk of ingrowing hairs, we recommend the regular use of massage sponges (e.g. after showering) or exfoliation peelings. By a gentle scrubbing action, the upper skin layer is removed and fine hairs can get through to the skin surface.
