How To Effectively Use The Bleame™ Crystal Hair EraserUpdated 5 months ago

Hey there! We're here to ensure your journey with our Bleame™ Crystal Hair Eraser is nothing short of fabulous. 

To make things as positive and comfy as can be, we've prepared these super helpful guidelines to help you tailor your skincare routine to your unique skin sensitivity. 

Our main goal? To ensure your utmost care and well-being throughout the entire process. Trust us, your well-being is our top priority!


SKIN PREPARATION & TIMING

Preparing your skin before using your Bleame™ Crystal Hair Eraser is essential to ensure the effectiveness of the hair removal process. Follow these guidelines to guarantee a positive and comfortable experience, tailored to your skin sensitivity.

  • OPTIMAL TIMING FOR NORMAL TO TOLERANT SKIN: If your skin falls within the normal to more tolerant range, we recommend exfoliating one day before using our Bleame™ Crystal Hair Eraser. This gentle exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and debris, promoting better results without compromising the integrity of your skin.
  • CONSIDERATE APPROACH FOR SENSITIVE SKIN: If you have sensitive skin, we advise exfoliating two days before using our Bleame™ Crystal Hair Eraser. This slightly extended interval allows your skin ample time to recover from exfoliation and reduces the risk of potential irritation or sensitivity caused by the combined effects of exfoliation and hair removal.

When exfoliating, remember to choose a mild exfoliating product and avoid harsh exfoliants or vigorous scrubbing. 

We want to make sure your skin remains calm and comfortable, especially before using your Bleame™ Crystal Hair Eraser. Always prioritize gentle care and maintain a positive approach to nurturing your skin.


PRECAUTIONS FOR COMFORTABLE HAIR REMOVAL

Your comfort and safety during the hair removal process are our top priorities. To ensure a pleasant experience, it is essential to follow these precautions:

  • AVOID POTENTIAL TRIGGERS OR IRRITANTS: Between exfoliation and using your Bleame™ Crystal Hair Eraser, it's important to avoid hot water, harsh soaps, or exfoliating scrubs that may further irritate your skin.

  • ALLOW YOUR SKIN TO COOL DOWN: Before using our Bleame™ Crystal Hair Eraser, ensure that your skin has cooled down from activities such as hot baths or sun exposure. Cooling down helps minimize skin sensitivity.

  • AVOID SENSITIVE AREAS: Refrain from using your Bleame™ Crystal Hair Eraser on skin areas that are already sensitive, irritated, or have open wounds, cuts, or rashes. Let your skin heal completely before proceeding.
  • COOLING DOWN AND RESUMING WITH COMFORT: If you happen to experience excessive warmth or discomfort, we recommend taking a break and allow your skin to naturally cool down. 

    Listen to your body and resume the process once the heat or discomfort subsides, and your skin returns to its normal state.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

  • CATERING TO DIFFERENT SKIN SENSITIVITIES: We understand that individuals may have varying levels of skin sensitivity, including those with extremely sensitive skin. 

    If you fall into this category, it's important to be aware that even exfoliating two days before use may require extra precautions and potentially a longer interval to avoid any potential irritation or sensitivity. 

    We recommend taking the time to assess your skin's needs and finding the approach that works best for you.


  • MINDFUL PRODUCT SELECTION: Regardless of your skin sensitivity, it's always a good practice to check for potential allergens or irritants in any additional products you choose to use before, during, and after the hair removal process. 

    This includes exfoliating products, moisturizers, and shaving gel or cream. While hypoallergenic products are generally recommended as they are formulated to minimize potential irritants, be mindful of any specific allergies you may have and take the necessary steps to address them when selecting products.
  • UNDERSTANDING NORMAL SENSATIONS: You might feel a slight tugging or pulling, notice temporary redness, or even experience a mild stinging or tingling sensation. 

    Don't worry, these sensations are just part of the process and typically fade away shortly after you're done. If you have sensitive skin, it's understandable to be more in tune with these feelings. Rest assured, they're usually harmless and simply a natural part of hair removal. 


    Just remember to follow the instructions and consider any additional products you choose to use for a comfortable and personalized experience.


  • MAXIMIZING YOUR HAIR REMOVAL: We want to help you make the most of your hair removal process. 

    It's worth noting that using a shaving gel or cream alongside your Bleame™ Crystal Hair Eraser may create a slight barrier between the eraser and your skin, which can potentially reduce its effectiveness compared to using the eraser directly on the skin. 

    However, by omitting the use of shaving gel or cream, you can minimize the potential for additional ingredients that may cause irritation or sensitivity, especially if you have a history of sensitivity or allergies to certain products. 


PATCH TESTING FOR SKIN COMPATIBILITY

Before using your Bleame™ Crystal Hair Eraser on larger areas, it's crucial to perform a patch test to ensure compatibility with your skin. 

By following these simple instructions, you can gain confidence and prioritize the health of your skin.

  • Identify two small areas on your legs for testing, preferably far apart or one on each leg. It's best to test on your legs as they're scientifically less sensitive than your arms.
  • Cleanse the test areas with a gentle cleanser and tenderly pat them dry.
  • Test different methods to find your preferred technique:
  1. Dry Skin - Ensure your skin is completely dry, devoid of oils or lotions.
  2. Damp Skin - Maintain your skin slightly damp, but not excessively wet, and also free from oils or lotions.
  • Gently rub your Bleame™ Crystal Hair Eraser on each test area with light pressure and circular motions. 
  • Take note of the comfort level for each method during use.
  • Monitor the areas for 24 hours, and refrain from applying any other products.

USAGE & APPLICATION TECHNIQUES

To make sure you get the best results when using your Bleame™ Crystal Hair Eraser, we suggest trying out two application techniques: dry skin and damp skin application. 

It's all about finding what works best for you and your hair removal journey. Let's dive into the details!

  • PREPARE YOUR SKIN: Use a gentle, hydrating cleanser to remove impurities and excess oils without stripping away essential moisture from your skin.

  • CHOOSE YOUR APPLICATION METHOD:
  • DRY SKIN APPLICATION: Make sure your skin is completely dry and free from any oils or lotions, as they can reduce the effectiveness of the hair removal process.
  • DAMP SKIN APPLICATION: Make sure your skin is slightly damp but avoid making it overly wet. Too much water can affect the eraser's performance and potentially lead to skin irritation. If necessary, gently pat the area dry before proceeding. Make sure your skin is free from oils or lotions.
  • BEGIN THE HAIR REMOVAL PROCESS: 
  • Start with light pressure in circular motions on a small and less sensitive area of your body, such as the lower leg or forearm.
  • Gradually increase pressure as needed but avoid excessive force or pressure that may cause irritation, redness, or discomfort.
  • ADJUST YOUR TECHNIQUE AS YOU GO: 
  • Take breaks between passes, use lighter pressure, or opt for shorter strokes to minimize friction and heat generation. 
  • Compared to dry skin application, friction heat is less noticeable using the damp skin method. If you feel a slight warm sensation, rest assured that it's generally considered normal.
  • OPTIMIZE HAIR REMOVAL: 
  • Move your Bleame™ Crystal Hair Eraser in the direction of hair growth to reduce the risk of ingrown hairs, skin sensitivity, friction, and irritation. 
  • Adjust your technique as needed for gentle and effective hair removal.

While both the dry and damp skin application techniques are tried and tested methods for effective and comfortable results, we understand that everyone's experience may differ. 

If you feel that neither method fully meets your expectations in terms of effectiveness, comfort, or both, we recommend considering two additional steps. 

These steps provide additional options for you to customize and tailor the process according to your needs and preferences. 

  • ADD A PROTECTIVE MOISTURE BARRIER: For those with sensitive skin, consider applying a thin layer of a gentle, hypoallergenic moisturizer or barrier cream and allow it to fully absorb before using our Bleame™ Crystal Hair Eraser. 

    This optional step creates a moisture barrier that helps minimize potential irritation and enhances your overall comfort during the hair removal process. Look for products that are free of potential irritants like fragrances, dyes, or alcohol to ensure maximum compatibility with your skin.


  • OPTIMIZE YOUR COMFORT: If you feel the need for additional comfort while using our Bleame™ Crystal Hair Eraser, you can experiment with applying a thin and even layer of hypoallergenic shaving gel or cream once your skin has fully recovered and appears normal. This optional step provides a protective barrier that optimizes your comfort during the process.  

Remember, this is your hair removal journey. We highly encourage you to discover which routine suits your skin and sensitive level the most by experimenting with both dry and damp skin application techniques, with or without a moisture barrier, with or without shaving cream or gel - and find out which way brings the best results for you. 

AFTERCARE FOR HEALTHY SKIN

After the hair removal process, it's essential to provide gentle care and maintenance to keep your skin healthy and comfortable. 

Follow these simple post-care steps immediately after using Bleame™ Crystal Hair Eraser to soothe your skin and maintain its well-being:

  • GENTLE RINSE: Rinse the treated area with cool water, being mindful of its sensitivity. Pat the skin dry using a soft, clean towel, avoiding any harsh rubbing that could cause further irritation.

  • MOISTURIZE WITH CARE: Apply a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic lotion or moisturizer specially formulated for sensitive skin. Look for products with beneficial ingredients like hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, chamomile, calendula, or colloidal oatmeal. 

    Gently massage the moisturizer into your skin until fully absorbed. Regularly reapply to prevent dryness and maintain optimal hydration.

  • SOOTHING COLD COMPRESS: If desired, apply a cold compress to provide additional soothing relief. Wrap a clean cloth or towel around an ice pack or use a cold, damp cloth and gently place it on the skin for 10 to 15 minutes. Avoid prolonged exposure to cold, as it may have adverse effects on the skin.

  • KEEP YOUR ERASER IN PRIME CONDITION: After each use, rinse your Bleame™ Crystal Hair Eraser under running water to remove any debris, hair, or dead skin. Store it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity, to preserve its quality and effectiveness.

SKIN CARE RECOMMENDATIONS

To maintain healthy and comfortable skin, it's important to regularly follow these guidelines:

  • PROTECT YOUR SKIN FROM THE SUN: Avoid exposing the treated area to direct sunlight immediately after hair removal. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to shield the skin from harmful UV rays when going outdoors. Reapply sunscreen as needed, especially if the area is exposed to direct sunlight for an extended period.
  • ALLOW AMPLE REST TIME: Give your skin ample time to rest and restore its natural balance. While the recommended waiting time between sessions may vary based on individual factors like skin sensitivity and hair growth rate, it is generally advisable to wait a minimum of 48 hours before using your Bleame™ Crystal Hair Eraser again. Individuals with extremely sensitive skin may benefit from longer intervals.

  • CHOOSE SKIN-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS: Be mindful of the products and ingredients you apply to the treated area. Opt for gentle, hypoallergenic products specifically formulated for sensitive skin. Steer clear of scented lotions, fragranced products, or harsh chemicals that may cause skin irritation.

  • AVOID EXCESSIVE HEAT EXPOSURE: Refrain from subjecting the treated area to excessive heat, such as hot baths, saunas, or prolonged exposure to hot water. Excessive heat can heighten skin sensitivity and hinder the skin's natural balance.
