Sugaring bikini area at home
Deep bikini sugar depilation is the most thorough intimate hair removal imaginable. In the course of this procedure, the vegetation is thoroughly removed - the coccyx, the area around the anus, and even the inner side of the labia are affected. With the right approach, even when performed at home, such shugaring will not cause discomfort and will not cause allergies, but before experimenting on yourself, you should carefully familiarize yourself with all aspects.
Advantages and disadvantages
Deep bikini sugaring today is one of the most popular methods of caring for the female intimate area. Such popularity in itself suggests that the procedure has advantages, and here are just the main ones.
- Low cost. The ingredients for making pasta are simple and inexpensive, publicly available, the procedure itself is also not super complicated - accordingly, the price for such a service is low. If you are doing shugaring yourself, then it may even cost a penny.
- No pain. Many hair removal methods can hardly be called sparing, but it is sugar depilation that is well suited for deep bikini - if done correctly, it does without pronounced discomfort.
- Hypoallergenic... The mixture for shugaring consists of natural materials, there are no harmful chemicals and unwanted impurities in it.Theoretically, an allergy to natural products is also possible, but when you prepare a mixture for yourself with your own hands, you will not come across those ingredients that you may not be aware of when you are an adult.
- Long lasting effect. The rate of hair regrowth after shugaring depends on the individual characteristics of the organism, but new vegetation will not appear before 8-10 days. The razor, we recall, solves the issue literally for 2-4 days.
- No damage to the skin. It is wrong to confuse shugaring with wax strips - the methods are similar only in the mechanical principle of action. However, the sugar mass to a much greater extent spares the skin, leaving no "trademark" bruises, scratches and abrasions in the most delicate part of the body.
- Simplicity... Mastering self-sugaring is not such a difficult task. Any young lady can do sugar depilation of the intimate zone at home.
Unfortunately, there are no perfect depilation methods. The disadvantages of deep bikini shugaring are much less than the advantages, but it is possible that the disadvantages will force you to abandon such a procedure altogether. We consider it necessary to warn you about the following possible disadvantages:
- after sugar depilation, hairs can grow into the skin, and this problem always exists in any area;
- if the mass for home shugaring is purchased in a store, there is always a chance to buy a low-quality product that will not reveal all the advantages of the technique;
- any mixture for shugaring includes lemon juice and caramel, and they, while not being typical allergens, can still cause irritation - then the technique will have to be abandoned immediately and forever, rinsing off the remnants of the irritant with warm water and deciding on the go how to complete the removal of the remaining hair ...
Technique
There are several methods of how exactly to apply the sugar paste to the intimate area and then remove it. In this case, the mass itself can be approximately the same in composition and properties, but the result will be different.
Manual
As the name suggests, manual technique as the main working "tool" involves the actual hands of a woman doing shugaring of the deep bikini zone to herself. The logic behind the choice of this method is obvious - it is difficult to apply the paste more accurately than with bare fingers, which are able to get into the most inaccessible places and ensure that the hairs are covered with sugar mass over the entire treated area. The mixture is applied against hair growth, and plucked in the opposite direction from the pre-stretched skin.
Since the frozen sugar has no additional base, you will have to pull it with your bare hands, too, sharply and confidently.
Bandage
This technique is clearly inspired by the principle of wax depilation - there, if you remember, a sticky mass that grabs the hairs is applied to the strips. Here, the principle of operation is the same - the prepared sugar mass is applied in a thin layer on a special fabric, which can be cut into the shape that seems more convenient to you. The clear advantage of this technique is that it will be much easier to tear off pieces of frozen syrup, because they have a separate solid base that is easy to grab onto.
At the same time, this method may not be suitable for the most inaccessible places.
Spatula
This method of depilation using sugar syrup has much in common with the manual one, because the frozen paste will not have any additional base here either, and you will have to tear it off, grabbing the syrup with your bare hands. The fundamental difference lies only in the method of applying the mass - for this, a special spatula is used, which allows a large amount of the mixture to be quickly and relatively evenly spread over a large area.
This technique is effective when processing the pubis, which can be covered with a spatula in just a couple of seconds.
How to choose a ready-made pasta?
Many experts believe that it is better to carry out shugaring at home only after you have at least one-time experience of such a procedure in the salon. We will not be so categorical and will not dissuade inexperienced, but brave ladies from experimenting - only we advise at least for the first time not to cook caramel paste yourself, but still buy... It is sold everywhere in those stores where you can get products for the care of the female body.
Please note that there is an assortment of sugaring paste, and, of course, not any will suit you... First of all, all such products are divided into three classes of mixtures: soft, medium and hard. The "tougher" such a mass, the more it is focused on removing thick, strong hairs.
Probably, there is no need to explain that in the intimate area the hair is just hard and thick - accordingly, the mixture will need a tough one.
Only in some cases, when the vegetation is not abundant, an average mixture can help out, but you should not take a soft one for depilation of a deep bikini - it is designed only for a few, thin and light hairs. It will never be superfluous to look into the composition of the substance, just for a start it is worth figuring out what is superfluous and what is useful.
You can see a few optional ingredients.
- Flavors and other aggressive additives. Sugar paste doesn't have to smell good, its main job is to remove hair. At the same time, her recipe was invented in ancient times, and then no artificial components were used. Of course, you can take a risk, but why - this will only increase the likelihood of an allergic reaction.
- Plant and herbal extracts... But there are no questions about the naturalness of this component. Its function is to moisturize the skin and protect it from damage.
- Essential oils. This component is considered mandatory for those types of shugaring that are intended for sensitive skin. Let's be objective: all women have a different level of sensitivity, but the intimate area is, in any case, relatively sensitive. Eucalyptus, chamomile or lavender oil softens and moisturizes the skin, making it easier to "release" hair. Another effect of using these ingredients is to prevent allergies.
It will not be superfluous to also inquire about the availability quality certificates and documentation on specialized dermatological examinations, because the intimate area is the place that needs to be protected especially carefully. Separately, do not forget to make sure that the caramel product is still good - after all, like a practically food product, it has a limited shelf life.
How to cook yourself?
When this is not the first time you come across the shugaring procedure and have a rough idea of how a paste for depilation of a deep bikini should normally look like, you can proceed to trying to prepare it yourself. Now you will see that this task does not imply anything complicated, and the only reason for needing preliminary experience is to understand if suddenly something went wrong, the wrong consistency, and so on.
The set of ingredients for preparing the mass in the simplest version is so primitive that, having decided to do depilation on your own, in many cases you may not even go to the store - everything you need may be in the house anyway. For culinary and cosmetic experiments you will need:
- sugar - 10 tablespoons;
- lemon juice - 1 tablespoon;
- water - 2 tablespoons.
The exact amount of ingredients may vary depending on how carefully you use the mass, and what your situation with vegetation is, but in general, the declared amount for depilation of a deep bikini should be enough.
If you need more or, according to previous experience, less, then focus on the proportions described above.
Cooking is no more difficult than a list of ingredients - you just need to add all the indicated ingredients to a bowl and cook them over low heat, stirring constantly during the process so as not to burn. When heated, the sugar caramelization process will start, and your job is to make sure it happens evenly. When the mass acquires a characteristic golden hue, the vessel is removed from the heat and left to cool.
In a hot state, the mass will be liquid and relatively fluid, but as it cools, it will thicken. It is necessary to catch the moment when it is no longer hot, but not yet cooled down - in such a warm form, its touch to the skin will be pleasant, warming. Even more valuable is the fact that at this temperature the mass has a viscous consistency of plasticine - and here is the time to start the procedure.
Do not tighten - when it cools to room temperature, the mixture will harden to a solid state, and it is necessary for this to happen with your hair in it.
How to do hair removal at home?
Despite the recommendations of experts that before carrying out shugaring at home, one should first get the appropriate experience in a beauty salon, many young ladies nevertheless decide to try their luck right at home. In principle, with strict adherence to the instructions, it can even be both painless and effective. To make this happen, we will tell you the procedure for beginners - how to make the deep bikini zone shugaring for yourself step by step.
Preparation
The shugaring procedure is possible with a minimum hair length of at least 3-5 mm. If the hair is shorter, then there will be no sense in the procedure - the caramel paste simply will not capture them, so you will have to shave or wait for the hair to grow back. Too long vegetation, on the contrary, will have to be cut - shugaring will not cope with a hairline longer than 1 cm.
To ease painful sensations and simplify the task of removing hair, the skin must first be steam well... For this purpose, a hot shower is optimal - note that the last one is a week in advance, because after shugaring, hygiene procedures with hot water will not be possible.
In the process of taking a shower, you can scrub the intimate area, but not much - you just need to remove the scales of old skin without scratching it.
The application of sugar paste is done only on clean and dry skin, therefore after a shower, you must thoroughly dry yourself with a towel.... It is advisable to prepare an antiseptic solution in advance in order to additionally disinfect the treated surface.... If you have an old chair that can be removed from the seat, then it will be the ideal chair for the procedure, allowing easy access to the entire bikini area.
Regardless of where the procedure is carried out, it is better to spread something under yourself, otherwise dripping and frozen sugar will be difficult to remove from the floor. Suspecting that your own sensitivity will inevitably result in pain, take an anesthetic tablet half an hour before the procedure or use a special ointment with lidocaine.
Depilation
Tear off a piece of shugaring paste and roll it in your hands - like plasticine, this mass will melt and soften a little from the heat of the human body and intense exposure. Then apply a thin layer to leather or woven base. When using the spatula method, do not allow the mass to cool down too much so that it can be scooped up with a spatula without rolling it out in your hands. Remember that the direction of application is against hair growth. After application, you need to wait 2-3 minutes until the mass hardens, and then tear it off with a sharp movement in the opposite direction - already according to the growth of the hairs.
The pubis is considered the least sensitive part of the intimate zone, therefore, it is advised to start a potentially painful procedure from it.... Next, you need to move towards the labia, and lastly, the legs near the bikini and the area around the anus are processed - it is smeared from the coccyx to the anus, and breaks off the other way around. If there is not much hair, each piece of paste can be reused, but not in the same area.
The most painful area is the transition zone from the labia to the legs. They do it in a special way - using only manual techniques, they smear the paste in three thin layers one on top of the other, and tear it off once, all together, after pulling the skin without fail. For a beginner, a complete self-depilation procedure for a deep bikini can take up to 2 hours. With the acquisition of experience, this task will gradually be accelerated.
Completion
After depilation, you may need to cleanse the skin from the remnants of adhered sugar paste. Experts agree that ordinary soap or shower gel is definitely not suitable for solving the problem, but some advise using wipes with alcohol-containing agents for effective cleaning and additional disinfection, while others believe that ordinary warm water is quite enough.
Skin care after the procedure
Even the complete painlessness of shugaring does not mean that it does not injure the skin at all, therefore subsequent care is required. Ignoring the recovery procedures, the lady runs the risk of running into dryness, redness and irritation. At the same time, some redness in the first 3 hours is considered the norm, but if it does not go away even after 2-3 days, this is already a signal that you will have to use antiseptics and moisturizing cosmetics.
Obligatory care involves the use of natural creams immediately after the completion of the procedure - preferably with calendula, chamomile or aloe. For a few days, give up tight-fitting underwear, especially synthetic ones - it is better to wear loose cotton panties for now. In the first couple of days, you will also have to do without sex, so as not to injure irritated skin.
For a whole week do not recommend taking a hot bath, visiting the sauna or swimming pool. It is best to carry out hygiene procedures with natural soap specially for intimate hygiene, any aggressive components of the detergent are now dangerous.
A week after shugaring a deep bikini, it is wise to scrub to prevent ingrown hairs.
Common mistakes
Sometimes shugaring does not bring the expected result simply because the girls do not follow (or simply do not know) all the rules for carrying out such a procedure. To prevent this from happening, let's go through the most common mistakes.
- Sugar depilation is designed for an average hair length - within 5-10 mm. If the hairs are shorter, the paste will simply not be able to capture them and will be ineffective. A more significant length means an increase in the resistance of the hair - you will suffer, but there will not be much sense either.
- Sugar mass, especially homemade, costs a penny but do not use it in large quantities - it will only hurt more. A thin layer is sufficient to grip the hair.
- The mixture is applied only against hair growth, and breaks down through it and nothing else! If your hair is tangled or growing in different directions, you will first have to come up with something like a parting and only then do the depilation.
- Even the best and most correct shugaring does not always give a 100% result. - Individual hairs may remain. You should not repeat the procedure on them - so you will only run into an allergy. It is wiser to pull out the remaining hairs with tweezers.
- Do not sugars during your period! During this period, the pain threshold decreases, and you can forget about the painless procedure.
- It is unacceptable to rely solely on tactile sensations in assessing effectiveness. You cannot see most of the treated area, especially in the coccyx area, but to solve the problem you need to use a mirror.Otherwise, the result of depilation may look even worse than its absence.
- Sugaring, in fact, is not suitable for everyone. - some girls even find it painful and unpleasant. If you have gone through the procedure 4-5 times already, each time changing the mixtures and choosing only those that are designed for sensitive skin, and it still hurts, then stop mocking yourself, this method is not for you.
- If you do not yet know how the skin will react to shugaring, at least do not wax deep bikini area before going to an important event. It is better to do this in the evening - then the skin should have time to calm down, and the pain, if any, should go away. In cases where the pain is unbearable or you just do not want to endure until it goes away on its own, speed up the process in half by applying ice cubes to your skin.
