The first step to be taken while cleaning an epilator is to dismount its head. Epilators are washable, but not its body (handle). Clean it with the assistance of a cleaning brush and then with running water. When this process is complete, take a cotton ball and dip it in an alcoholic face cleaner. Next, air dry it and store it in a safe place. Keep in mind, if the epilator falls, always check for the tweezers if its broken or not. Never use epilators with broken tweezers. This can cause irritation, irregular plucking and lead to the formation of boils.
