All About Brazilian Bikini

For most women, it is important to take proper care of every part of the body, including the bikini area. Quite often, the preference is given to the Brazilian bikini - a technique that allows you to effectively get rid of hairs in hard-to-reach places.

Brazilian bikini is a hair removal technique especially popular with girls. Some people believe that the definition of "Brazilian" was chosen due to the fact that it is in Brazil, with its constant carnivals and the habit of wearing revealing clothes, that it is especially important to get rid of excess hair. Another, however, more realistic version says that it was the Brazilian who moved to the USA in 1987 and opened a salon in the states who introduced the total elimination of hairs into fashion. This technique involves treating the pubis, labia, perineum, buttocks and inner thighs. However, even the classic cosmetic procedure allows you to slightly break the rules, leaving a triangle under the bathing trunks or a vertical path on the pubis.

Originally Brazilian, it is also a deep bikini "created" with wax, but today it is increasingly made with sugar paste - that is, by shugaring. Again, a few decades ago it was normal to leave a strip of hair 5 to 7 centimeters wide, which then began to be cut in various ways, forming complex and simple shapes.

Interestingly, in Brazil itself, you are unlikely to find Brazilian hair removal among cosmetic services - there it is simply called hair removal. The name of this hair removal technique was coined by American experts. In general, this type of depilation, most likely, originated many thousands of years ago in ancient Egypt, because before the wedding, both the groom and the bride were subjected to total elimination of unnecessary vegetation.

Hair removal in modern establishments is done in full or in part. Partial Brazilian hair removal allows you to keep a small triangle of neatly trimmed hair that does not go beyond the boundaries of your swimwear. Classic hair removal requires the complete elimination of vegetation in the intimate area and the provision of absolute smoothness, even in hard-to-reach places. French Brazilian hair removal is characterized by the preservation of a thin strip of hair in the front of the pubis.

In fact, the Brazilian bikini is the same deep bikini, which implies the complete elimination of body hair. However, some experts argue that a deep bikini involves removing vegetation around the anus, while a Brazilian bikini does not. Hair must be removed by the root, that is, by epilation, which means that Brazilian depilation simply cannot be.

The Brazilian bikini has many benefits. The result always looks aesthetically pleasing, moreover, the procedure depletes the hair follicles, and the hairs begin to grow less intensively. It is generally accepted that the absence of hair in intimate areas reduces the likelihood of sweat odor.

Brazilian hair removal can be done with wax, sugar paste or polymers. Besides, to process the intimate area is obtained with the help of all sorts of lasers, light or current.

The effect of shugaring is rather long lasting - about three weeks, and also allows you to carry out the procedure even at home. After the above period, the hairs grow back softer, and their number even decreases over time. It is customary to process only small fragments of skin with a heated paste, and abruptly remove vegetation in the direction of its growth with the help of dense tissue. Despite the fact that the sugar-containing substance requires warming up, remaining at room temperature, it does not cause burns. In addition, the paste, consisting only of natural ingredients, is not hypoallergenic and is suitable for working even with sensitive skin.

The stickiness of the substance is also less than that of wax, which is more convenient to work with and does not provoke the appearance of irritations. If the paste is purchased in a store, then instructions are always included with it. When preparing the product yourself, you will definitely need to use granulated sugar, clean water and lemon juice or citric acid.

Recently, polymer hair removal of the bikini area has gained popularity - painless procedure performed with SKIN S polymer wax... The product, made in the form of small balls, contains extracts of mint, St. John's wort, chamomile and other plants, as well as hyaluronic acid and natural oils. The peculiarity of polymer wax is that it captures only hairs without interacting with the skin, which greatly simplifies the procedure. The melting point of the substance is a maximum of 43 degrees, which prevents burns.The wax hardens instantly, so the length of the epilation is significantly reduced.

By the way, it can be removed both in the direction and against the direction of vegetation growth... The polymers penetrate the hair follicle orifice and envelop it from the inside.

Waxing is similar to sugaring in many ways, but with fewer benefits. First, hairs should be pulled in the opposite direction to their growth. Secondly, ingrown hairs are often formed after using wax. Thirdly, the sticky substance requires more serious heating, which leads to burns and irritation in sensitive areas. It is impossible to do without this preparatory step, since it is the hot product that promotes the expansion of the pores, and therefore the easy removal of vegetation. Hair is pulled out either with a piece of dense fabric, or with a special paper strip that comes with the kit.

Before a rather traumatic cosmetic procedure, which is a Brazilian bikini, appropriate preparation should be carried out. First, it is important to remove all ingrown hairs - usually a normal tweezers can do this, but a scalpel may also be necessary. Tools must be disinfected with alcohol. It is allowed to start removing hairs when the wounds heal. In addition, vegetation will have to grow: as a rule, a length of 4 millimeters is required for wax and sugar hair removal, but polymers can cope with 2 millimeters. To do this, 7 days before the appointment, it is better to switch to a razor, and not use anything at all for a couple of days.

On the day of hair removal, experts recommend taking a hot bath or simply steam out the areas that require further processing. This will soften the skin and therefore make the hair removal process more efficient. Do not forget about hygienic procedures - you need to come to the appointment, having already rinsed the required areas from sebum and accumulated dirt. For those who cannot stand pain, it makes sense to think about taking pain medications. It can be medicines, ointments, for example, "Lidocaine 10%" or sprays - like Frost Spray. Cosmetics containing an anesthetic in the composition are also suitable - as an option, Veet.

Somewhere three days before, it is better to treat the skin with peeling. When self-forming a Brazilian bikini, be sure to check the drug for an allergic reaction. To do this, a small amount of wax or sugar paste is applied to the bend of the elbow, where it is left for 10 minutes. In the absence of redness, itching and other kinds of irritation, the most sensitive areas of the skin can be treated.

Despite the fact that today the Brazilian bikini can be made in almost any salon, many women prefer to do hair removal at home.

When a woman comes to the salon, she must first of all undress, wash or treat the intimate area with wet wipes and sit on the couch in a pose reminiscent of the one taken by a gynecologist. Previously, it makes sense to visit the consultation of the same specialist in order to find out about possible contraindications, as well as to find out the presence of irritations or infectious diseases. The specialist can offer only ointments or gels as painkillers “on the spot”, therefore, the medication is taken independently.

When planning to make a Brazilian bikini at home, it is important to disinfect your hands or wear gloves beforehand. After preparing the skin and heating the substance in the microwave for about 30 seconds, it is necessary to place the mirror on the stand so that the treated areas are visible in it. It is important to ensure that the wax is not too hot. As in the salon, the skin must first be cleaned, and the hairs, if their length exceeds 5 millimeters, should be slightly trimmed. If you work with wax, it is more convenient to work with your hands, rather than using strips.

A small amount of paste is taken on the finger and rolled out in a thin layer in the direction of hair growth. The length of the strip should not exceed the index finger - so it will not hurt to remove it. After applying the substance to the skin, hold it by the edge with the pad of your finger. As soon as the mass cools down, with a quick movement it breaks off against the growth of the hair. You should try not to pull it up and not stretch the skin. If there is little hair left on the strip, it can be reused.

After treatment of intimate areas, it is more convenient to remove single hairs with tweezers. Work with the sugar substance is carried out in the same way, only it should be applied against the growth of vegetation, and removed - according to growth. Upon completion, the surface is treated with a special agent that slows down growth, or simply with a moisturizing body cream.

After hair removal, it is better to walk about a quarter of an hour without underwear or wear loose clothing made from natural fabrics. The first couple of days the skin should not be rubbed or even touched at all, but on the third it is time to peel. Again, for the first few days, a woman is recommended to wear underwear made from natural materials, the models of which do not rub or press on the surface. At least a week, it makes sense to limit yourself to hot baths, swimming pool, solarium and sauna.
