How To Use Epilator Without Pain

1. Do Not Epilate Long Hairs

The best tip I can give is you must NOT epilate hair that is too long. PLEASE shave or wax your hair, then wait until the hair has grown to the shortest possible length, that is recommended by your epilator manufacturer, before epilating. If you do not follow this advice you will probably never epilate again.

2. Just Before Start Do Not Use Any Cream

DO NOT use any creams or products just before you start. They will coat your hair and prevent the epilator from grabbing the hairs efficiently. This will result in the hairs being snapped off rather than being pulled from the root. The end result: fewer hairs being removed and your skin feeling like a grizzly bear.

3. Take A Bath or Shower

TAKING a bath or shower will also help to remove any oils on your skin leaving your hair and skin clean and dry prior to epilating. If you have a wet & dry Epilator then epilating in the bath or while taking a shower could help you relax, this is especially beneficial for those of you who are new to epilating.

4. Do Not Use Talcum Powder

Do try using some talcum powder on your skin prior to epilating. Some women find this helps the epilator glide over the skin more smoothly.

5. Use Hands To Stretch The Skin

TRY using your free hand to stretch the skin, this will help the epilator to grab more of the hairs. This will also prevent any folds of loose skin from being nipped. This tip really comes into play when you are doing your under arms where the folds of skin are much looser.

6. Do Not Hurry

Do NOT RUSH. Take your time. Set aside an hour or so when no one will disturb you.

7. Exfoliate Your Skin

It is very IMPORTANT to exfoliate your skin after you have used your epilator. This will help keep your skin in great condition and help prevent any in growing hairs. Always use a good quality Moisturiser after removing your hair.

8. Clean Your Epilator

DON’T FORGET to clean your epilator after every use. This can help reduce spots and is especially important if you suffer from sensitive skin.
