Tips
5 steps to the perfect summer legs
- Tip #1
- To achieve the best results from your Emjoi epilator, have a nice hot bath or shower before removing unwanted hair. This will open up your pores, making epilating quick and more comfortable!
- Tip #2
- Ensure your skin is clean and dry before epilating. Hold the skin in the surrounding area taut, then gently glide your Emjoi epilator along your skin in the direction of hair growth.
- Tip #3
- Prevent skin irritation and ingrown hairs after epilating by avoiding exfoliating, and wearing tight clothes for 24 hours after hair removal.
- Tip #4
- Maintain silky smooth legs by exfoliating and moisturising at least 3 times a week. Exfoliation prevents unsightly ingrown hairs by removing dead skin, ensuring new hair can surface. Moisturising will also help to sooth your skin.
- Tip #5
- Keep it up! One of the great benefits of removing hair from the roots is that regrowth becomes far finer and sparser over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: How should I use my Emjoi Epilator?
- A: To minimise discomfort, hold the skin surrounding the area you are removing hair from taut. Gently glide your Emjoi epilator in short, quick, brush like or sweeping motions in the direction of hair growth.
Do not apply pressure - for your protection, your unit may slow down if it is pressed too hard against your skin.
- Q: Can I use my Emjoi epilator anywhere on my face?
- A: No. Emjoi epilators are only intended to remove individual hair from the upper lip and chin but you must hold the surrounding skin taut. Do not use the units like you would an electric razor on your entire face.
- Q: Can I use my Emjoi epilator on my bikini line and underarms?
- A: Yes. Before removing hair from the bikini line or underarms it is important to use a loofah in a warm shower or bath to remove dead skin and prevent ingrown hairs. Since these areas can be sensitive, it is important to hold the skin taut.
- Q: Will my hair grow back as fast as it does when I shave?
- A: No. With shaving you are cutting the hair at the surface, so it grows back quickly and leaves rough stubble. When you epilate you are removing hair from the root so it takes longer, up to 6 weeks, to grow back.
- Q: Does epilation hurt?
- A: The first time you use your epilator you might feel a prickling sensation. This feeling is due to the fact you are removing hair from the root. After several uses, the tweezing action becomes more comfortable even for those with sensitive skin.
- Q: What can I do for ingrown hairs?
- A: We recommend using a loofah or an exfoliation scrub in the shower or bath to soften the skin and release any ingrown hairs, enabling your Emjoi epilator to remove the hair from the root.
