The epilator........

[Micki]

I've done a lot of research and also decided on an epilator. However, regardless of my preparations,  exfoliation, moisturizing, trimming... When I use the epilator, I think it "cuts" some of the hairs at the skin line. I'll have "razor shadow" almost the next day or two. Followed by those awful little red bumps,  that to me,  almost signal the beginning of ingrown hairs. 

Does anyone have some method in overlooking,  or suggestions?  

I would be grateful for any help girls.

Love and kisses, 

Micki
