ENGLISH
All methods of hair removal from the root can result in in-growing hair depending on the
condition of the skin and hair. Regular exfoliation helps to prevent in-growing hair.
In some cases inflammation of the skin could occur when bacteria penetrate the skin (e.g.
when sliding the appliance over the skin). Thorough cleaning of the epilation head before
each use will minimise the risk of infection.

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 infections. 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 make sure that 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.
