Perfect bikini area. Choosing the best care

Most of the fair sex strive to look beautiful and attractive. Removing unwanted hair in the bikini area is an important part of caring for your appearance for all girls.

What is the best hair removal method to choose for yourself so that it is safe and effective? How to do epilation in the bikini area at home? This article will answer these and many other questions.

Features of hair removal in the bikini area

Often epilation in these places is called Brazilian. This name owes its origin to the Brazilian sisters who opened a beauty salon in New York in the late eighties of the last century. It was the Brazilian sisters who began to make “hairstyles” of an intimate nature in their salon.

The procedure for removing unwanted hair in the bikini area is done by specialists in beauty salons. Unfortunately, not all women have the opportunity to do salon hair removal, so the issue of removing unwanted vegetation at home is relevant. The result of self-hair removal is the same as after that done by a specialist, but financially it is much more profitable.

There are deep epilation of the bikini zone (in this case, the vegetation between the buttocks and near the labia is removed) and shallow (with such epilation, the hairs peeking out of the panties are removed).

Hair removal in the intimate area must be approached very carefully and responsibly, because there are many nerve endings that cause pain during the procedure. The skin of intimate places is very sensitive and delicate, therefore it requires careful care.

There are various hair removal methods available that are easy to do on your own at home. Each such method of epilation is characterized by its pros and cons.

Hair removal in the bikini area at home can be done in various ways:

waxing - using a wax mass;
shugaring - using sugar paste;
hardware - using an electric epilator, photoepilator or laser epilator.

Waxing (waxing)

For more than one century, the fair sex has been waxing. It allows you to keep the smoothness and tenderness of the skin for three to four weeks.

The method is suitable for hair removal not only on the arms and legs, but also on hypersensitive areas of the skin, such as the bikini area. Waxing the bikini area will relieve you of ingrown hairs, irritation and inflammation of the skin.

At home, it is most convenient to use strips with applied wax.

Freeze your skin with ice before waxing.
Then take a strip, warm it in your palms, divide it into two parts and apply them to dry skin and smooth them in the direction of hair growth.
After 15-20 seconds, remove them in a quick, sharp motion in the opposite direction.

This method is very painful, but the result lasts for three to four weeks, and the skin becomes smooth and velvety.

In addition to strips, you can use cold, warm or hot wax. For bikini waxing, hot wax is the best choice. From the high temperature, the skin pores will open, which will make it easier to pull out the hairs and slightly anesthetize the procedure.

The wax mass is heated and applied to the skin.
After a few minutes, it is necessary to sharply tear off the wax strips from the skin.
After that, remove the remaining wax from the skin and wipe it with a swab dipped in vegetable oil.

When performing hair removal in this way, you need to be extremely careful, because too hot mixture can get burned, especially since the skin in the bikini area is very delicate.

Therefore, before the procedure, carefully study the instructions and follow all the recommendations.

After two or three waxing sessions, the hair becomes thinner and does not grow as thickly.

Epilation of the bikini area with an electric epilator

Removing hair with an epilator is also quite painful. It is worth noting that only the first epilation is the most painful, subsequent procedures are easier. Therefore, if you decide to purchase a device for removing unwanted hair, then do not skimp and choose a powerful model with a speed switch button and various attachments.

The attachments on the epilator are designed to relieve pain. There are such types of nozzles:

freezing - cool the skin, thereby relieving pain when using the epilator;
massage - with the help of massage weaken pain signals;
pressing - press the skin during the procedure, which makes the epilation less painful.

Hair removal with an epilator in the bikini area has one significant drawback - severe pain, but the effect of epilation by this method will delight you for a whole month.

Hardware hair removal affects each hair individually and is therefore suitable for girls who have a hard and thick hair structure.

Using an epilator aggressively affects your skin, so after the procedure, soften and soothe it with the help of special products (moisturizing and soothing creams, lotions).

Olive oil is excellent as an antiseptic. This natural antioxidant will revitalize your skin and restore its elasticity. Also for these purposes, you can use herbal tinctures (chamomile, calendula, St. John's wort), alcohol-based lotions, furacilin solution, miramistin.

Bikini photoepilation

One of the painless and long-term ways to get rid of unwanted hair. Under the influence of intense pulsed radiation, the hair follicle is destroyed, which dies without nutrition.

The procedure is done in beauty salons and clinics. But manufacturers have pleased the girls with household photoepilators, and now it has become possible to do this procedure at home.

Advantages of photoepilation:

Epilation of the bikini area with a laser

The most effective hair removal method is laser hair removal. The main advantage of the method is painlessness: the maximum that you can feel is just a barely perceptible tingling.

The method is suitable even for those girls who have hypersensitivity of the skin, as it does not cause inflammation or irritation. The effect after epilation by this method will last for a long period, and after three or four sessions you will get rid of unwanted hair forever.

The hair follicle is exposed to laser energy, from which it dies. Visible hair is removed immediately, and those hairs that were under the skin fall out within ten days. Such hair removal is also available at home. To do this, you need to pick up and buy a laser epilator.

The laser works on the principle of influencing the dark pigment contained in the hair, so laser hair removal is not suitable for girls with hair that does not contain pigment (light and red).

Sugaring (sugar hair removal)

Often, girls prefer an effective and inexpensive method - shugaring (epilation with a frozen sugar solution). This method of removing vegetation has several advantages:

Sugar paste adheres closely to the hair follicle, so during epilation the hair does not fall off, which prevents them from growing into the skin.

Ready mass for shugaring can be bought at the store. Buying one jar, you stretch it for a couple of months. The composition of the purchased sugar paste includes an anesthetic (a substance that allows you to achieve a slight analgesic effect). And if you don't want to expose your skin to dyes and chemicals, make your own sugar paste.

Sugar Paste Recipe #1

Recipe for sugar paste for shugaring No. 2

Mix 10 tbsp. l. sugar, 1 tbsp. l. water and juice of 1/2 lemon.
Stir thoroughly to completely dissolve the sugar.
Put on a slow fire, bring to a boil and boil for ten minutes.
Then let cool and check for readiness. To check, mold a ball from a thickened mass and see if it sticks to your hands: if not, you did everything right.

Recipe for sugar composition No. 3

Prepare your skin first. It must be clean, dry and free of grease. Hair longer than half a centimeter needs to be trimmed slightly.

To less traumatize the hypersensitive skin of the bikini area, use baby powder - so the sugar will be easier to remove.

Mix a glass of sugar, two tablespoons of honey and two tablespoons of water.
Boil the mixture over low heat until it thickens.
Then remove and let cool slightly.

When epilating, make a ball of warm sugar mass and press it to the problem area, then cover with a cotton cloth. Remove the sticky fabric quickly. Rinse off the remaining sugar mixture with warm water.

Hair bleaching in intimate areas

Sometimes girls do not remove their hair, but bleach it with hydrogen peroxide. After exposure to peroxide, the hairs become very brittle, thin and fluff-like, and eventually become thinner and break off.

In order for the hair to be completely destroyed, it is necessary to apply a clarifier on them, wait the time indicated in the instructions and rinse.

Then you need to mix hydrogen peroxide with ammonia and wipe bleached hair throughout the day. Soon they will disappear forever.

By following these tips, you will not get rid of pain completely, but you will make the epilation process more comfortable and less painful:

Having decided on an independent hair removal at home, go for a consultation with a beautician. Together you will choose the best way to remove hair, which will not injure the skin and minimize pain.

To restore the skin after epilation, use antiseptic products containing vitamins A and E or based on chamomile and aloe.

If you, having chosen the method of hair removal that suits you, treat the bikini area correctly and follow the advice of specialists, then with each procedure the hairs will become thinner and softer, and inflammation and irritation will occur less and less.

Deep bikini epilation: performance features

Epilation in the salon takes place under the supervision of specialists. Such procedures are quite expensive, but they get rid of unwanted hair more quickly and efficiently.

How to prepare for the procedure

In order for the epilation to be successful, you need to prepare for it in advance. The date of the session should be chosen in advance. A few days before the procedure, the hair must be cut short or shaved.

It is important to remember that before epilation it is forbidden to sunbathe on the beach or in the solarium for at least 2 weeks.

Anesthesia

Deep bikini epilation is a painful procedure. The skin in this area is very delicate and sensitive. It is believed that only the first session causes intense pain. Then the skin gradually gets used, and discomfort becomes dull.

For anesthesia, the masters use local anesthetics based on lidocaine (Emla cream, Anestol ointment, Ane Stop gel, Rose oil or Xylocaine spray).

The active ingredients of painkillers penetrate deep into the skin. The degree of anesthesia depends on the amount of drug applied and the exposure time.

How is epilation done?

To make a woman feel comfortable during the session, the masters create a pleasant environment in the office. Calm music plays in the room. Neutral temperature is maintained. The client removes clothing from the lower part of the body and lies down on the beauty couch.

Accessories for the procedure should be disposable. The epilation area is treated with a disinfectant. When waxing or shugaring, a small amount of talc is applied to the skin. This step helps to get rid of excess moisture. Then the master begins to remove the hair.

After the session, a cooling cream is applied to the skin. It has a restorative and soothing effect.

Hair removal at home: the easiest way

Epilation of intimate areas is easy to do at home. For these purposes, wax strips sold in stores are used.

Half an hour before the procedure, it is recommended to take an anesthetic tablet. Suitable Analgin, Ibuprofen or Tempalgin.
Take a hot shower or bath to warm up your skin.
Wipe the bikini area with a towel and lightly powder with talc or baby powder. It is important not to overdo it with the amount of funds.
Remove the wax strips from the packaging and cut into pieces. Warm up in hands and remove the protective layer. Press the strip with the sticky side against the skin and immediately smooth it out so that it adheres well. With a sharp movement, remove the shred in the direction of hair growth. Treat the entire deep bikini area in this way.
After completing the procedure, wipe the skin with a special napkin, which is sold in a set with strips. It will help soothe the skin and remove wax residue.

To avoid burns, it is not recommended to remove hair from the bikini area with homemade sugar paste or hot wax.

Skin care after epilation

After the end of the session, irritation often appears on the skin. In order not to expose it to additional damage, it is necessary to wear loose underwear.

In the first few days after epilation, you must adhere to the following rules for skin care:

It is forbidden to visit the sauna, bath.
Do not rub the skin in the perineal area.
On the first day, you need to regularly lubricate the skin with healing agents.

After 3-4 days, the areas of hair removal should be treated with a mild exfoliating agent. After using the scrub, apply a moisturizer to the skin.

Medical contraindications

Hair removal seems to be an absolutely safe procedure. However, there are a number of contraindications in which doctors do not advise deep bikini hair removal. These include:

How to reduce pain with some methods of hair removal? Perhaps the recommendations and tips given by us will help to cope with the unpleasant moments of hair removal, because you really want to be beautiful with minimal sacrifice.

How to properly epilate the bikini area at home

Tip one. Before epilation, prepare the skin for the procedure.

If you use a razor or an epilator, then the skin must first be steamed out by taking a bath or shower. When the skin should, on the contrary, be cooled with ice. Then treat the skin in the epilation area with a special lotion or other antiseptic, an alcohol solution is also suitable for this purpose. For waxing, the skin must be dry.

Tip two. Hair removal, depending on the method used, should be carried out in the right direction:

with a mechanical method using a razor - according to hair growth;
with the help of shugaring (sugar), the mixture is applied against growth, and removed only by hair growth;
when waxing: wax strips are applied along the hair growth, removed with a quick jerk against the hair;
epilator against growth, without pressing the device strongly, while pulling the skin to reduce pain.

Tip three. Immediately after the procedure, the skin should be treated again with an antiseptic, and after a while, with an emollient or soothing agent (cream, gel, mousse, lotion). Ideal for such a case is olive oil - a natural antioxidant that not only nourishes the skin with vitamins, but also restores its elasticity after epilation.

herbal tinctures (chamomile, calendula, sage, thyme, St. John's wort);
alcohol lotions;
furacilin solution;
pharmaceutical products (miramistin, chlorhexidine and others).

Tip four. Use after depilation products that slow down hair growth. In addition, they relieve skin irritation, and some of them prevent ingrown hairs.

Tip five. In between epilation, before epilation, and five days after epilation, use body scrubs or peels that not only cleanse the skin, but also open access to sprouting hair for the next procedure. This will help solve the problem of ingrown hairs.

If you follow the advice how to do epilation in the bikini area, then you will see that each time the growing hairs become thinner, undesirable consequences - less and less. And we share a few more secrets for painless hair removal in the bikini area with some methods that require endurance and even courage from women.

Secret one. We feel pain much more sharply before the onset of menstruation, so during this period, refuse the procedure for removing hair with an epilator or wax, accompanied by painful sensations. Two days after the end (the seventh day of the cycle) is the most optimal time. Some girls claim that even during the cycle, the pain is practically not felt.

Second secret. The time of day for hair removal also needs to be chosen appropriate, when the pain is felt the least. It is alleged that 18.00 is the same time. Therefore, it is better to plan the procedure for epilation of the bikini zone from 17.00 to 19.00.

Epilation of the bikini area requires a special approach. There are a huge number of nerve endings here, which cause unbearable pain during epilation. In addition, the bikini area is characterized by very delicate and sensitive skin, which does not allow the use of the usual methods of hair removal.

There are many ways to epilate the bikini area. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. You can entrust this procedure to specialists in the salon, who, using special devices, will perform bikini hair removal without pain and for a long time. However, many women prefer to do intimate hair removal at home. For them, our next tips.

Ways to epilate the bikini area at home

Epilator and bikini area: little tricks

One of the reliable and safe ways to epilate the bikini area is epilation using depilatory machines. The electric epilator pulls out hairs from the root, so it helps to get rid of unwanted hairs for almost a month. A significant disadvantage of this method is severe pain. For this reason, women with very hard, thick hairs cannot use the epilator. If this method suits you, use little tricks.

1. Steaming. To reduce pain, steam the skin before the procedure, then epilate the bikini with an epilator, while plucking the hairs against hair growth, slightly stretching the skin.

2. Shaving in water. Choose an epilator that can work in water. Water relaxes the skin and nerve endings, so the pain during epilation is reduced several times.

3. Cooling nozzles. Some epilators are equipped with special cooling caps for sensitive areas, the cold eases the painful procedure.

4. Cream with an anesthetic effect. If the skin is very sensitive to pain, it is possible to carry out the procedure comfortably with the help of an anesthetic cream, such as lidocaine. Apply it preferably 20 minutes before epilation.

Important points when using the epilator:

It is better to pull out the hairs that are not captured by the machine with tweezers.

After the procedure, disinfect the skin and do not wear tight underwear for an hour.

Some women experience ingrown hairs when using an epilator in their bikini area. In this case, the regular use of the scrub will help, as well as the implementation of simple procedures to prevent ingrown.

Laser hair removal bikini

Laser epilation of the bikini area - the most painless way of epilation of all known. During the procedure, you will only feel a slight tingling sensation. The result of laser hair removal lasts for a very long time, and after several procedures, you can achieve permanent hair removal. Laser hair removal is now available at home thanks to the introduction of portable laser epilators on the market. There is only one disadvantage of this method - the high price of the device.

Waxing

Epilation of the bikini area can also be done using the usual waxing. Waxing- This is epilation with wax, which can be cold, warm or hot. For the bikini area, warm or hot wax is best, as the heat opens the pores of the skin, makes it easier to pull out the hair, and reduces pain.

How to make at home? - Ready wax should be bought in cassettes or in a jar. It is also recommended to purchase special paper strips.

The wax is heated (the required temperature is indicated on the package) and applied to the skin.

For convenience, a paper strip is applied on top, smoothed several times.

We expect from 20 seconds to 2 minutes (it all depends on the type of wax that you have purchased). Slightly cooled wax strips are sharply torn off the skin, holding it with fingertips.

It is convenient to remove wax residues from the skin with a cotton swab with vegetable oil.

The effect of waxing keeps for about a month. Just remember that this procedure requires some skill. On the delicate skin in the bikini area, with the inept use of wax, bruises and bruising may appear. Also, hot wax can leave a burn on the skin, so the first procedure is best done by a professional master.

Sugar waxing bikini

Hair removal method sugaring(hair removal with hardened sugar) women, perhaps, choose in most cases for epilation of the bikini area. Bikini sugar waxing is a very old, reliable and affordable method that has many advantages. It is suitable for women with sensitive skin and with any type of hair stiffness. Sugar has antimicrobial properties, hypoallergenic, therefore, does not cause inflammation and irritation on the skin.

How to do: it is more convenient to buy ready-made sugaring paste marked "for the bikini zone". If we prepare the composition ourselves, it is recommended to add honey, chamomile and walnut tincture to the sugar mass. These components disinfect the skin, and the walnut destroys the hair follicle, slows down hair growth, and prevents their ingrowth.

Bikini depilation at home

If you cannot endure pain at all, you can get rid of annoying hairs with the help of depilation - when the hair is not removed from the root, but only their protruding part from the surface of the skin. The effect of depilation does not last long - from several days to a week, then it is necessary to repeat the procedure again and again. There are several ways to depilate.

Mechanical depilation . For mechanical depilation, you will need an ordinary razor. After you have prepared and sanitized your skin, shave the hairs in the direction they grow. Then apply special products to the skin after depilation. The disadvantage of mechanical depilation is that in a few days spiky hairs grow and the procedure must be repeated.

Chemical depilation cream . In chemical depilation, hair is removed using a special chemical depilation cream. The chemical composition of the cream destroys the hair almost to the very root, therefore, after depilation with the cream, black dots from the hair are not visible on the skin, and the result lasts about a week.
