F HOW TO USE
a Useful Tips
• When using an epilator for the first time it is best to try it on a small area to get used to
the process of epilation.
• The optimum length for hair removal is between 2-5mm. Epilation is easier and more
comfortable.
• Take a warm bath or shower before epilating and exfoliate to remove dead skin cells
This will make your skin more pliable, making the epilation process less
uncomfortable.
• Epilate in the evening so that any possible reddening can disappear overnight.
• After use you can use a body cream or aloe lotion to soothe the skin and reduce skin
irritation.
• Exfoliate regularly to avoid in-growing hair.
Why Exfoliate?
Exfoliation prevents in-growing hairs. Ingrown hairs occur when the growing hair curls up under
the skin instead of growing out like it should. It results in an often painful red bump and possible
infection. Rubbing your skin with an exfoliation glove in the shower or bath, or using a dry body
brush will help reduce ingrown hairs or infections.
Before epilating ensure the skin is clean, dry and free from creams or oils.
Rub the skin in the area to be epilated to lift short hairs to optimise hair removal.
Ensure the Epilator is OFF and attach the power cord to the product and then to the mains.
Turn the epilator on to the desired speed:
LOW is recommended for fine hair
HIGH is recommended for coarse hair or stronger hair growth
• Using your free hand, hold the skin taut to make the hairs stand upright. Position the
epilator flat so that the tweezers are at a 90° angle and flat against the skin. The
Perfect Angle Cap will ensure the optimum tweezing angle (Diagram A).
• Using small circular motions, slowly and gently glide the epilator over the skin. This
circular motion is the most effective method and makes the process less
uncomfortable.
Alternatively, guide the epilator in a slow, continuous movement against the hair
growth (Diagram B).
• Repeat within each area until all unwanted hair is removed.
• After epilating, turn the epilator off.
, ARM/LEG EPILATION: (Diagram C)
Epilate from the lower arm/leg and slowly move upwards. To epilate behind the elbow
knee, keep the arm/leg straight to stretch the skin.
, UNDERARMS AND BIKINI: (Diagram D and E)
Please be aware that these areas are particularly sensitive. However this sensitivity will reduce
after repeated usage. For more comfort, ensure that the skin is held taut and that the hair is
at the optimum length of 2-5mm. If it has been an extended period of time since you have
removed hair, trim the hair with a Remington® bikini trimmer or cosmetic trimmer before
epilation.
