Practical tips for amazing epilation

1. Everyone's skin is more relaxed and desensitised when bathed in warm water. That's exactly why Braun has designed the new Silk-épil Xpressive 7681 with Close Grip Technology, an epilator that works in your shower or bath. Using other epilator models you should have a bath or shower first and then ensure your skin is completely dry before you begin epilating.


2. Useful tips for wet epilation

- In the bath: For optimal results, start epilating after relaxing in warm water for about 5 minutes. Hold your leg and epilator fully submerged. Your hairs will lift under water, making them especially easy to grip.

- In the shower: Your skin should really be moist during epilation. For perfect results, you can apply a little shower gel.


3. Useful tips for dry epilation:

- Make sure your skin is free of oil and completely dry before commencing epilation.

- In order to maximise effects for superior short hair removal, it is recommended that you brush across your skin against the direction of skin growth to "lift" the short hairs. This gives the epilator a better grip on them.


4. Run the epilator in an upward motion, against the direction of hair growth. If needed you can also change the epilation direction to ensure an even smoother finish.


5. Epilation novices may find that their skin is slightly reddened after epilating. This is why it is best not to epilate the day you want to spend a big night out, but the evening before. To soothe your skin and create a really sleek, smooth look and feel, apply a body cream or lotion after epilating.


6. Regular use of a massage sponge (e.g. after your shower) or a body peeling will help prevent in-growing of small hairs.
