Epilating tips -- Epilation is easier just after taking a bath or shower. -- We advise you to epilate before you go to bed at night, as skin irritation usually disappears overnight. -- Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hairs have a length of 3-4mm. If the hairs are longer, we recommend that you shave first and epilate the shorter regrowing hairs after 1 or 2 weeks. Epilating Note: If you are new to epilation, start epilating with the double wavy massage attachment to minimise the pulling sensation of epilation. Note:To epilate the underarms or bikini line, use the sensitive area cap that reduces the number of active epilating discs. 1 Insert the small plug into the socket in the bottom of the appliance (1) and put the adapter in the wall socket (2). , , The appliance starts to operate at speed II, which is the most efficient speed for epilating. Note: If you want to use speed I, press the on/off button a second time. Speed I is suitable for areas with little hair growth, for hard-to-reach areas and for areas where bones are located directly beneath the skin, such as knees and ankles. English 9 4 Stretch the skin with your free hand to make the hairs stand upright. Place the epilating head at an angle of 90° onto the skin with the on/ off button pointing in the direction in which you are going to move the appliance. 5 Move the appliance slowly over the skin against the direction of hair growth while pressing it lightly. Tip:To relax the skin, we advise you to apply a moisturising cream immediately or a few hours after epilation. Tip: After epilation, use a gentle deodorant without alcohol or a special deodorising cream for epilated underarms. 10 English Using the exfoliation brush -- You can use the exfoliation brush dry or wet to remove dead skin cells gently and thoroughly.
