Before epilating
When is the best time to remove hair with an epilator? How many days before a special event?
Before getting legs with an epilator, it's the night before you plan to put on your dress that looks like you're saying "Look at my silky legs". In this case, you will have 24 hours for the rash to subside.

What time of day is best?
The best time for a hair removal appointment is at night. You will be more comfortable and minor skin rashes that may occur will disappear by morning.

How should I prepare my skin?
Ok girls, here's the fun part: 3 simple steps to get your skin ready and take the worries off your mind.

1. Dive into the water! A warm shower will make your skin sparkling and completely relax. Keep the water hot while you shower, but not too hot so your delicate skin doesn't dry out.
2. Cleanse the dead cells of your skin. Removing dead skin cells while splashing water makes epilation gentler and helps you get rid of ingrown hairs.
3. Rub! It may sound silly, but rubbing your skin with a dry towel will help lift hairs and get flawless results.

Which region should I start from?
Start with the legs, which are the least painful area. Then move on to more sensitive areas like underarms and bikini line.While epilating

Does hair removal hurt?
You do a lot of unpleasant things in the name of beauty: eyebrows, tweezers, tattoos! But when it comes to epilation, Silk-épil makes hair removal extra gentle by minimizing pain thanks to features such as ice mitts and massage wheels.

How should the epilator be held?
It should be natural, so do not put too much pressure! While holding the epilator with your legs to form a 90-degree angle, you can also make it easier to slide the epilator by gently pulling on your skin with your hand. But do not press too hard, touch the epilator lightly to your skin.

Do not worry about troublesome areas such as ankles and curves, the swivel head rotates easily on these curves.

How fast should I do it?
Slow down Speedy Gonzales! Spend about 15 seconds between ankle and knee. If you go too fast, the hair may break off and grow inwards as a result.

Should I use water for hair removal?
If you use the Braun Silk-épil 7 Wet & Dry Dual Epilator, you can epilate extra gently in the shower or bath. If you are using other Silk-épil models, first take a shower or bath to soften your skin, then dry thoroughly before epilating.

What to do after hair removal?
What to do after epilation is a common question we all ask, especially after last-minute epilation leg augmentation. Because we women usually leave this process to the last minute from urgency and there may be a rash on the skin. Washing your skin with soap after epilation may cause irritation. It may be good to use a redness-relieving cream instead. A more sensitive epilation is possible with Braun's epilators that also allow wet epilation. Reduce sensitivity by massaging the skin.

How can I pamper my skin?
Moisten. Golden Rule - Moisturize after, not first.
Moisturizing before epilating makes the hairs slippery and difficult for tweezers to hold. Use a quality body lotion for best results.

How often should I epilate?
If you are new to epilation, epilate once a week; each time you will feel the discomfort decrease and the satisfaction increase. When you know it well, thin it out and epilate every three weeks.

Having beautiful legs has never been easier!
