All about classic bikini shugaring

Each representative of the beautiful half of humanity takes care of the appearance of her intimate areas. Most women do not accept excessive vegetation in the bikini area, so smooth skin on this part of the body does not lose its relevance. However, not everyone can decide on a complete hair removal in the intimate area. In this case, classic bikini shugaring comes to the rescue.

Shugaring is a type of epilation in which unwanted hair is removed using sugar caramel (paste, gel).

Sugar paste can be purchased ready-made or you can make it yourself. The first option is preferred due to its more convenient use.

Shugaring of a classic bikini consists in removing hair from the inner sides of the thighs and legs, left, right and top along the line of panties-slip (if desired, + 1-1.5 cm under them). A feature of this type of hair removal is that it does not require removing underwear for its implementation. Therefore, this method is preferred by particularly shy natures, as well as those who are doing such a procedure for the first time.

The advantages of the classic shugaring.

1. Aesthetic appearance. Smooth bikini skin looks more attractive.
2. Hygiene. Excessive vegetation leads to increased sweating, as a result of which harmful microorganisms intensify their development.
3. Effectiveness. Sugaring will allow you to enjoy smooth skin for up to 4 weeks.With each successive procedure, new hairs become thinner and weaker. As a result, instead of them, a soft fluff appears, which can be easily removed.
4. The procedure is suitable for shy girls who feel uncomfortable being naked in front of strangers.
5. Shugaring is suitable for carrying out it at home. The skills necessary for this are acquired after 3-4 procedures.
6. With the help of this method of hair removal, it is possible to check your pain threshold - if the procedure is easy, with tolerable pain, then in the future you can carry out shugaring of a deep bikini.

Despite its obvious advantages, shugaring has some disadvantages.

• The method implies only aesthetic effect. Hair remains under the underwear, which can become a hotbed of various infections, thereby giving the woman uncomfortable sensations.
• After the procedure, side effects often occur: irritation, acne, inflammation, ingrown hairs.

It is worth noting that there are critics of intimate hair removal. They are sure that the human body does not create anything superfluous, and if there is hair on the body, then it means that it should be there. With regard to bikini shugaring, its opponents are inclined to believe that the forced deprivation of this zone of vegetation provokes the penetration of infections into the genitals.

The difference between classic and deep (total, Brazilian) shugaring is as follows.

• Hair removal scale. Unlike the Brazilian bikini, which removes hair from the pubis, labia and around the anus, classic shugaring removes the hair that appears from under the underwear. The formation of a clear hairline in the pubic area does not occur.
• The strength of the painful sensations. With classic shugaring, there is practically no pain, as a rule, the procedure does not require anesthesia. Hair removal on a deep bikini is a painful procedure, therefore, analgesics or anesthetics are used before it.
• Deep shugaring preferred by relaxed women with a high pain threshold who want to wear the most revealing underwear.

The choice of the type of shugaring of the intimate area is a matter of personal preference for everyone. According to statistics, about 90% of men prefer a deep bikini, considering it more sexy and attractive.

Despite the safety of the sugar hair removal procedure, not everyone can do it.

Especially if shugaring is planned to be carried out independently at home. The following factors are the main limitations in epilation.

• The presence of diabetes mellitus. Sugar is the main ingredient in the paste used to remove hair. It can enter the bloodstream through the skin, which is extremely dangerous for diabetics.
• Allergy predisposition. Sugar caramel contains allergens that can cause side effects.
• Chronic and infectious skin diseases, violations of the integrity of the skin in the epilated area.
• Epilepsy.
• The presence of extraneous formations on the treated area of ​​the skin (warts, psoriasis, birthmarks).
• Menstrual cycle.
• Alcoholic or drug intoxication.
• Pregnancy, lactation.
• Viral and infectious diseases, especially during their exacerbation.

Preparation for shugaring the bikini area consists of 2 aspects:

• psychological (attitude, moral readiness);
• physical (the choice of a comfortable posture, the state of the intimate zone).

Recommendations for preparing for epilation.

1. It is better to carry out shugaring during the daytime, when the body is less susceptible to pain.
2. You can take an anesthetic pill 30-40 minutes before the procedure.Immediately 20 minutes before hair removal, an anesthetic gel is applied to the surface of the intimate zone to be treated.
3. You can make your skin less susceptible to pain with ice cubes.
4. Stretching the skin in opposite directions at the moment of separation of the sugar gel from the epidermis will help to reduce the soreness of the procedure.
5. In some cases, breathing exercises help. At the time of the jerk, you must hold your breath.

Shugaring a classic bikini at home is to carry out the following steps.

• Before carrying out the procedure, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the training video lessons that will help you to understand the process as much as possible and take into account all the important nuances.
• The intimate area should be thoroughly washed with gel or soap, after which the epilated skin area should be disinfected. The optimal hair length for shugaring is 7 mm. For maximum adhesion of sugar caramel to the hairs, it is advisable to sprinkle the surface of the skin with talcum powder or baby powder.
• With thoroughly washed hands, knead a small piece of sugar gel until it becomes smooth and elastic.
• The paste should be applied in the most comfortable position for oneself, strictly against hair growth and left for 20 seconds.
• It is necessary to tear off the gel in the opposite direction - in the direction of hair growth. This can be done in one sharp or progressive, stitch-like movements.
• Hair removal takes place in small parts, from the periphery to the center.
• The particles of sugar caramel remaining on the treated area are washed off with cool cosmetic or ordinary water.
• After the procedure, the skin must be treated with a disinfectant (hydrogen peroxide, chlorhexidine). The main thing is that it does not contain alcohol.
• The final stage is the application of a sedative (herbal decoctions) to the treated area.

Caring for the bikini area after sugar hair removal consists in:

• disinfection;
• moisturizing;
• scrubbing.

After the hair follicle has been removed from the epidermis, there remains an open mouth, into which pathogens can easily enter. Therefore, disinfection of the skin surface is carried out 2 times: before and after the procedure.

Sugar epilation dries out the epidermis, especially in such a sensitive area. Moisturizers are recommended to be used the day after hair removal, when the opened mouths close. Cosmetics with a light texture that do not clog pores and have the ability to quickly absorb are suitable for this. It will be a plus if it contains components that are of natural, vegetable origin.

Hair follicles in the process of shugaring can change the direction of growth, which subsequently leads to the effect of ingrown hairs. Scrubbing agents prevent this side effect: the abrasive particles of the scrub lift the hair shafts, preventing them from digging into the epidermis.

It is forbidden to apply a scrub to inflamed skin.

In the coming days after the sugaring epilation of the intimate zone, experts do not recommend:

• visit solariums, open beaches, saunas and baths;
• swim in open water bodies or pools;
• exhibit excessive physical activity.

Every woman should take care of her skin, especially in an intimate place like the bikini area.... The safest way to epilate her is to visit a beauty salon. However, if you decide on an independent procedure, then it must be carried out very carefully, following all the recommendations and advice of specialists.
