The Remington Smooth EP1 Epilator (Model EP1000AU) is a corded hair removal device designed to provide efficient, gentle, and easy epilation for legs, arms, bikini line, and underarms, leaving the skin feeling soft and smooth.
Function Description:
The epilator utilizes rotating tweezers to remove hair as short as 0.5mm from the root. The epilation head and cap are specifically designed to conform to body contours, channeling fine, short, and flat hairs into the tweezer discs for effective removal. This method of hair removal can cause initial discomfort, especially for new users or those who haven't epilated in a long time, but the skin typically adapts over time, reducing the sensation. Reddening or irritation of the skin is a normal reaction and usually subsides quickly. Regular exfoliation is recommended to prevent ingrown hairs, which can be a result of any root-based hair removal method. Thorough cleansing of the epilation head and caps after each use is crucial to minimize the risk of skin inflammation due to bacterial penetration.
Important Technical Specifications:

Usage Features:
- On/Off Button with 2 Speed Selections: Allows users to choose between low speed for fine hair and high speed for coarse hair or stronger hair growth.
- Gentle Lift & Grip Tweezers: Designed for effective hair removal.
- Perfect Angle Cap: Ensures maximum contact with the skin to optimize the hair removal process.
- Corded Operation: The device operates exclusively in corded mode, meaning it must be plugged into a power outlet during use.
- Recommended Hair Length: Optimal hair length for epilation is 2-5mm. For longer hairs, it is recommended to shave or trim first and then epilate the shorter re-grown hairs after 1-2 weeks.
- Skin Preparation: Before epilating, skin should be clean, dry, and free from creams or oils. Taking a warm bath or shower and exfoliating beforehand can make the skin more pliable and the process less uncomfortable.
- Epilation Technique: Hold the skin taut with your free hand to make hairs stand upright. Position the epilator at a 90° angle, flat against the skin. Glide the epilator in a slow, continuous movement against the direction of hair growth. Avoid applying excessive pressure, as this can slow down or stop the epilator.
- Specific Area Usage:
- Arm/Leg Epilation: Begin from the lower arm or leg and move upwards. Keep the arm or leg straight when epilating behind the elbow or knee to stretch the skin.
- Underarm and Bikini Line Epilation: These areas are particularly sensitive. Holding the skin taut and ensuring hair is 2-5mm long can improve comfort. For underarms, keep the arm raised to stretch the skin. Avoid irritating substances like deodorants with alcohol directly after epilation. For the bikini line, hold the skin taut and glide the epilator in a circular motion.
- Post-Epilation Care: Applying a body cream or aloe lotion can soothe the skin and reduce irritation. Regular exfoliation after epilation helps prevent ingrown hairs. It is advisable to epilate in the evening to allow any redness to disappear overnight.
