Braun Silk Epil SoftPerfection 3180 Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 9

Some useful tips
Epilation is easier and more comfortable
when the hair is at the optimum length of
2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in). If hairs are longer,
we recommend that you either shave first
and epilate the shorter re-growing hairs
after 1 or 2 weeks.
When epilating for the first time, it is
advisable to epilate in the evening, so that
any possible reddening can disappear
overnight. To relax the skin we recom-
mend applying a moisture cream after
epilation.
Fine hair which re-grows might not grow
up to the skin surface. The regular use
of massage sponges (e.g. after showering)
or exfoliation peelings helps to prevent
in-growing hair as the gentle scrubbing
action removes the upper skin layer and
fine hair can get through to the skin
surface.

Preparing your skin
Your skin must be dry and free from
grease or cream.
Optional skin cooling: For the first few
epilations or if you have sensitive skin,
you can use the cooling application,
recommended by dermatologists to help
reduce possible skin irritation.

• Put transparent (cool) side of the glove

longer if needed.

ately.

same area for no longer than 2 minutes.
Keep away from sunlight. Do not use

ances, when suffering from cardiac dis-
eases or arterial circulatory disorders.
