All about bikini waxing

Removing hair from the bikini area is very delicate. Many women choose wax because it combines effectiveness and safety. With the help of waxing, you can make different types of bikinis, this makes it possible for everyone to choose the best option. The procedure can be carried out not only in the salon, but also at home on your own. It is very important to provide proper skin care aftercare to avoid side effects.

Depilation of the bikini area does not give a long-term result, and therefore more and more women prefer epilation. Among all root hair removal methods, wax is especially popular. Such epilation is practical and affordable. Moreover, you can remove hair not only in the salon, but also at home. Let's find out the features of waxing.

1. A good solution even for deep bikinis. When using a razor, the dermis is damaged, and the epilator can even pinch the skin in this area. Wax is the best method. After epilation, only slight redness may appear, which quickly disappear, and the skin itself is not injured.
2. The result lasts about 2 weeks, which is comparable only to laser hair removal. You do not have to repeat the procedure often, which means that the skin will have time to heal from session to session.
3. Regular use of wax will make the hair thinner and softer.
4. With proper skill, the procedure takes only 20 minutes, and sometimes even less.
5. With each subsequent session, the pain and discomfort become less.
6. The minimum hair length for waxing should be 5 mm.

All the necessary materials can be purchased in a special store. It is this method of hair removal that is considered the most famous; it was used in ancient Egypt. During this time, optimal formulations have been developed. Some wax even benefits the skin.

The delicate area is located under the panties, and its boundaries directly depend on their shape. There are several types of bikinis in women's hair removal. This allows you to clearly define the boundaries to which the hair will be removed. So, some prefer to get rid of only the vegetation that is visible from under the linen, others - remove everything.

This technique involves removing hair only under the buttocks and up to the panty area. In this case, epilation takes place with minimal pain. The skin is less sensitive, so there are no negative consequences. The classic bikini is considered the safest; it is often the beginning of acquaintance with wax.

A type of deep hair removal involves removing hair everywhere, only a small triangle remains on the pubis. Usually the hairs are trimmed to make the drawing look as neat as possible. Very comfortable haircut, because it is completely invisible on the beach. The Brazilian bikini looks neat and attractive.

The technique involves complete hair removal. This type of deep bikini is especially popular in the summer, when the hairline causes a lot of discomfort. It is worth noting that the Hollywood bikini is sore. Sensitive skin in this area may turn red after the procedure.

The deep bikini variety is very similar to the Brazilian technique. Only this time, not a triangle remains on the pubis, but a neat strip. The width varies according to the woman's preference. The haircut is not visible on the beach, does not interfere with everyday life.

Before starting the procedure, you should choose the optimal composition. The wax can be hot, warm or cold. The latter is sold ready-to-use, and the first two types should be warmed up to operating temperature.

1. Canned. Designed for warm and hot technicians. The can allows you to warm up a large amount of the composition at once. The wax is commonly used in salons. Skills are required to work with such material. A wooden spatula is used for application.
2. Film. In the packaging, the wax is in tiles or granules. Suitable for all skin types, including intimate areas. Before use, it is warmed up to an operating temperature of 34–37 ° С. It is noteworthy that warm wax repeats well the irregularities of the body, captures hairs in hard-to-reach places. Skills are required to use, therefore it is more common in salons.
3. In cartridges. It is popular with women who prefer to carry out the procedure at home. The cassettes with attachments allow the wax to be evenly distributed over the body. The composition itself can be liquid, water-soluble and in the form of a gel. The special texture allows the procedure to be performed with less pain. The products have emollient and anti-inflammatory properties. Suitable for all skin types.
4. Stripes. Cold wax does not require heating before use. Quite an economical option, however, it shows low efficiency when treating the bikini area. The polymer compound can be used if waxing of a classic bikini is planned.
5. Briquettes. Used warm or hot to remove particularly coarse hair. Usually found in salons.
6. Disks. Hot wax requires some skill to remove hair. It is rarely used at home. Allows you to get rid of vegetation of varying hardness.

When choosing, you should focus on your own skills. For a home procedure, beginners are better off using warm wax. It is easier to work with and much more efficient than cold.A hot composition requires serious skills, otherwise there is a risk of burning sensitive skin and still not achieving the desired result.

It is worth giving preference to trusted manufacturers. The most popular companies are Veet, Floresan, Depilflax and Dolce Vita. The products of the first manufacturer are especially often used for home procedures.

When epilating the bikini area, the expense of the product is very small. One package is enough for many home procedures. However, you need more than just wax. Warm and hot compounds are applied with a wooden spatula. You will also need fabric strips that are applied to the wax and allow you to remove it along with excess hair.

Warm and hot material must be preheated. For this, a wax melter is used. Moreover, you need to choose it based on the form of release of the composition for hair removal. So, the device can be designed for jars or cartridges, you should pay attention to this.

Scrubs are used to prepare the skin. Additionally, cosmetic products are needed to soothe the skin after the procedure. In some cases, you simply cannot do without a pain reliever. Moreover, these are not always medicines - cosmetological compositions can also be used. Talcum powder is also useful, it will raise the hairs and make removal easier.

When choosing a wax, it is better to consult a trichologist who can correctly assess the condition of the skin and hair. Using the optimal composition will greatly simplify the procedure. You should also apply the wax to a small area of ​​your skin and wait for a few hours. If there is no rash or redness, then you can safely start epilation.

1. The skin must be cleaned of the stratum corneum. For this, a mild scrub is used. Better to use products that are designed for sensitive skin or bikini area.
2. A greasy cream will soften the hair. Moisturizing relaxes the skin and helps open the pores.
3. Before epilation, you need to steam in the bathroom. This will also make it easier to remove.
4. Hair length matters a lot. It should be about 4–6 mm. If the hair is more than 11 mm, then the removal will be extremely unsuccessful.

On the day of waxing, you cannot use cosmetics for the hygiene of the bikini area; you will have to give up tonic, cream and lotion. It is not necessary to carry out deep hair removal for the first time - it is better to do with the classics. This will allow you to assess your individual sensitivity to pain and prepare your skin for new treatments. You can gradually increase the impact area.

The hair in the bikini area is quite coarse and the skin is very delicate. Therefore, when carrying out waxing at home, you should act as carefully as possible. It is not difficult to carry out the procedure yourself, but for the first time it is better to start with a classic bikini. This will hone your skills for deeper epilation.

Before use, the composition must be warmed up to operating temperature. Voskoplav is matched to the form of wax release. For the composition in granules, devices with a wide bowl are used, and for cartridges - with a narrow and elongated one. Some girls heat wax in the microwave or in a water bath, but experts do not recommend doing this. In this case, it is not possible to monitor the temperature and heat the material evenly.

The easiest way is to use a combined wax melter. This will allow you to experiment with formulations, try in granules and in cartridges. The operating temperature is indicated on the packaging. The wax should be heated strictly according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

Waxing itself is painful, and in the bikini area there is also quite sensitive skin.Many women tolerate it calmly with proper preparation, but sometimes additional pain relief is indispensable. Pain can be reduced with medication or local anesthesia. The tablets are taken about 30 minutes before the start of the procedure to reduce sensitivity.

More often, creams, gels and sprays with the desired effect are used. Such manufacturers as Doctor Namb, Depilflax, VEET, Emla are popular. The product is simply applied to the skin according to the instructions. The great advantage of this kind of pain relief is that it has virtually no side effects. This is the best solution for a home procedure.

Hair removal in the bikini area takes very little time. It is only important to follow the instructions clearly. If you use wax correctly, you can achieve good results without too many side effects. You can remove hair yourself by following the step-by-step instructions.

1. Treat the bikini area with an antibacterial agent.
2. Dry the skin. Treat with baby powder or talcum powder.
3. Heat the wax in a wax melter. If strips are used, rub them with palms.
4. Apply the composition with a spatula or cartridge attachment to a small area of ​​the skin. Just stick on the strips. It is important to apply wax in the direction of hair growth. Cover the material with a strip of paper or fabric, press down.
5. Wait 3-4 seconds and remove the wax along with the hair. You need to remove the strip with a sharp movement, jerk. With the other hand, you need to hold the skin next to it. The film wax should be kept on the skin longer, about 10-15 seconds. This information is always indicated by the manufacturer.
6. If there are hairs on the skin, repeat the procedure.
7. To reduce pain and discomfort, massage the area with your fingertips.
8. Thus, remove hair from the entire bikini area.

After the procedure, a small amount of wax remains on the treated area. To remove, use a napkin soaked in oil. You can use any cosmetic formulation based on coconut, almond or jojoba. This oil not only removes wax, but also softens the skin.

It is important not to try to clean up the material with water - this will only make the situation worse. If it is not possible to use cosmetic oil, then a simple sunflower oil will do. When cleansing, do not apply too much pressure on the skin - this will cause severe discomfort and increase the risk of inflammation. You should act gently and carefully.

Correctly performed procedure is only half the success. The effect will be better and lasting if you take good care of your skin after waxing. This will prevent irritation and maximize smoothness.

1. The skin should be disinfected immediately after the end of the procedure. A moisturizing cream with a soothing effect is also used.
2. After hair removal, the skin may become inflamed or reddened. You should immediately respond to it in order to prevent further development. Usually the cream "Bepanten" is used, which accelerates the healing process.
3. Two weeks after the procedure, you cannot visit the baths, sunbathe (both in the sun and artificially), take hot baths, otherwise the recovery process will slow down significantly.
4. A couple of days after epilation, you should peel the bikini area, then repeat it every 2-3 days. This will significantly reduce the risk of ingrown hairs. Important: you cannot peel if the skin has not yet recovered. If irritation is present, it must be treated first.

The procedure in question is best done at night. So, while sleeping, the clothes will not irritate the injured skin.

The procedure for hair removal with wax in the bikini area is quite popular and in demand. But the reviews about her are rather contradictory. All women complain of soreness, especially during the first procedures. However, over time, the hair becomes thinner, their number decreases. At the same time, most of the discomfort goes away.

The first procedures are best done in the salon. It is quite difficult to independently choose the right composition and do everything right without experience. It is also important to properly prepare the skin before waxing and take care of it after the procedure. Otherwise, the risk of inflammation and irritation is very high.

Women assure that it is waxing that is the simplest and most effective method of hair removal in the bikini area. The composition itself is quite affordable, and the procedure is simple. For the first time, it is better to remove hairs up to the panty line.
