Tips and tricks
NOTE
► Do not use the appliance if...
― You have sunburn on the specifi c part of the body.
― You have skin irritation or redness.
― You have a skin disease such as neurodermatitis.
― You have pimples, moles or warts on the aff ected parts of the body.
― You have wounds, open sores or raised scars on the aff ected parts of the
body.
► First test the appliance on a small hidden location to establish the skin compatibility.
■ The hairs to be epilated should be between 0.3 cm and 0.5 cm long. Shorter hairs
are not gripped by the tweezers and plucking out longer hairs is very painful.
Shorten longer hairs, if required.
■ The skin must be free of grease or cream residues. Otherwise, the tweezers will
stick/soil and the effi ciency of the appliance will be reduced.
■ The skin must be completely dry.
■ The best time for epilation is in the evening after a shower. Then the skin is somewhat
softened, so that the hairs can be plucked out easily. In addition, the skin can recover
overnight, and any skin reddening will recede.
■ Before epilation, treat the skin with a peeling treatment or a massage glove. This
helps remove dead skin cells, ingrowing hairs are avoided, and fi ne hairs stand
proud. This enables the appliance to grip the hairs better.
■ After epilation/shaving, treat the skin with a moisturising lotion or cream. Ideally, use
a cream containing aloe vera or camomile extracts to soothe and maintain the skin.
