Enjoy smooth skin for the next month. 7 tips of how to use an epilator in case you lost the instructions of your specific hair removal epilator that stated how to use that epilator.

7 tips how to enjoy the use of an epilator

1. Epilation hurts a bit, so if it’s the very first time you are using a hair removal epilator do start removing fine hairs on an not sensitive part of your body. Leg hair removal is much less painful than armpit hair removal. Start with fine hairs, as they are the easiest to remove. The good news is that hair after regrowth becomes finer, so using your epilator becomes more fun over time.
2. Take a warm shower or better still, a warm bath before removing your hair. The warm water will open your pores and that will make it easier for the hairs to be removed. Just make sure to dry your skin first as epilation does not work well on wet skin with some hair epilators. Do not apply any lotion on your skin, as the greasiness will hinder the epilator from pulling out your hair.
3. Start off with putting your electric epilator on low speed. When you set an hair remover on high speed, it won’t have the time to pull out all your hairs. High speed epilating will break the thicker hairs easily, so adjust the speed of your epilator according the results that you see: if hairs are broken, you need to epilate slower.
4. For best epilator hair removal results you need to pull your skin tight with your hand that’s not holding the epilator. Stretch the area of the skin you’re epilating so the epilator will be most successful in pulling out your airs. Place the head of the epilator on your skin without exerting too much pressure. Do read the instructions or try what works best for you: some epilators work better when you move the head in small circles, other epilators work best when you simply pass their head over your skin.
5. Plan your hair removal epilation ahead. If your pain tolerance is very low, even the best epilators will feel like a burden. Just spread your hair removal sessions over a few evenings in stead of suffering all in one day.
6. Make sure to dab your skin with a good body toner after epilating to encourage the reddened pores to close and heal. You could also apply a mild soothening body lotion. It’s recommended to use your hair removal epilator in the evening: red blotches and bumps after the hair removal process are normal but this minor skin irritation will normally disappear overnight.
7. Exfoliate! For the next few days, do exfoliate your skin daily with a good coarse loofa or body scrub. Rub away dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs.

Do know that each hair removal epilator comes with its own full instructions that you should follow. It’s not only important to know how to use an epilator, do use it in the evening after a hot bath, start on low speed on sensitive areas first and do exfoliate the days after your hair removal epilation.
