Get yourself a fine looking bikini line this Summer. I prefer to wax my bikini line because the area stays hair free and smooth for weeks at a time. Also, you do not have to deal with the ugly bumps that can happen with shaving. Waxing is not for those faint of heart or those who have a low tolerance or pain. However, for those of you who are up for the challenge and realize that beauty sometimes equals pain, waxing gives you the best long term results. Waxing can be done in a salon or for you D.I.Y'ers you can do it at home. Waxing comes in 2 forms, hot and cold wax. I will talk about the two. WARNING! Pain is sometimes involved with waxing, who am I kidding? Pain is always involved with waxing!
WAXING 101.
1. Hot Stuff. Hot wax is usually warmed in the microwave. Before you start waxing you MUST test the temperature of the wax because you can easily burn yourself. Spread a thin layer of wax on to skin with the applicator in the direction of hair growth. Once the wax starts to harden the hair becomes trapped in the wax. Apply the cloth provided to remove hair over waxed area and QUICKLY (trust me you do not want to do this slowly!) pull off cloth in the opposite direction of hair growth. Hot waxing is very effective for hair removal. The only downside of using hot wax is that it can be messy. Products such as GIGI Honee Wax and Poetic waxing kits are good choices for hot wax.
2. Cold wax (A.K.A Persian waxing) comes as pre-waxed strips that you apply to the skin to remove unwanted hair. I really like and use for myself the Sally Hansen wax strip kit because it is soooo easy to use. Choose the size strip you need, warm strip between your hands, peel strip apart. Apply the strip to the skin in the direction of hair growth, rub strip to make sure that the wax is covering hair well. QUICKLY pull strip off in opposite direction of hair growth and viola! Smooth, hair free skin.
DEALING WITH THE AFTERMATH
To reduce the pain of waxing immediately apply pressure with the palm of your hand to the waxed area. Skin may sting after waxing so apply a soothing cream (which is usually included in the waxing kits) to the area. Also, bumps and redness may appear but will disappear after a few hours. I hope you found this info helpful NOT painful! Please let me know what you think. Till then! B.
