An IPL Jouney with the Remington i-LIGHT (Part 2 Review)

Before using my i-LIGHT, I tried to remember all the user tips I read about Boots Smooth Skin. Granted these are two different machines by two different companies, but they have extremely similar functions with a similar layout. I figure it wouldn't hurt to try to utilize this tips for the Remington as well.

About 3 years ago, Boots, the mega UK beauty retailer, released a machine called Boots Smooth Skin Hair Reduction System on the British market.
