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.
The regular use of massage sponges
(e.g. after showering) or exfoliation
peelings helps to prevent ingrowing hair
as the gentle scrubbing action removes
the upper skin layer and fine hair can get
through to the skin surface.
