Epilation - classic bikini
A modern woman who cares for herself should not only monitor the condition of her skin, nails and figure. It is important to pay attention to excess hair on the arms, legs and in the bikini area. With a sleek body mood is always much better. If hair removal is done according to the rules, there are no unexpected problems or incidents. Perhaps the most popular hair removal - classic bikini. It is necessary to deal with the confusion between the concepts of "hair removal" and "depilation."
What is the difference?
Depilation is a rougher method. It does not completely remove hair. Only the visible part located on the surface is affected. Varieties:
- The traditional example of depilation is shaving with the help of the machine. The easiest and fastest way to correct a classic bikini zone without resorting to outside help. Minus - the result does not last long.
- Another method - chemical depilation. It is not for nothing that it bears such a name, because special compositions are used to remove vegetation - creams, ointments, there are even spray products.
- Waxing or waxing was also once popular. However, due to the strong pain sensations, the technician gradually gives way, giving way to more modern methods.
Now you can go to the options for hair removal. Surely you already realized that this method affects the hair entirely, removing it along with the bulb. After this method, the hair slows down its growth, not only because it was removed without a trace, but also because the follicle is damaged quite strongly. This has absolutely no health consequences, and the appearance only benefits. Varieties:
- Electrolysis This is a classic. In this technique, the whole process is due to the effects of current. The voltage is very low, but the discharge is enough to affect the hair root. Technique is imperfect, so not everyone is delighted. Some say that after electrolysis, the treated areas may be covered with small scars. If you have delicate skin, better try another option.
- A good way is bioepilation. The method is based on natural components, which is not bad. It can be both wax and sugar. There are separations according to temperature. Waxing can be hot (50-60 degrees), warm (40-45 degrees, best for thin hair) or cold (wax strips).
This method is good because the result lasts from 14 days to 3 weeks. With frequent use, hairs begin to slow down growth, which means that the skin can remain smooth for almost a month.
You can forget about the side effects: redness, itching, dangerous ingrown hairs.
- The famous shugaring is also a type of epilation. Warm stretching sugar paste is often used just for decorating a classic bikini.
Any of the above methods may be accompanied by painful sensations - especially when it comes to such a delicate area as a bikini. Unpleasant sensations can be avoided, knowing some simple rules.
Remove pain
- If you need to bring order not only in the classic bikini zone, but also in other areas, it is better to postpone the procedure until the middle of the menstrual cycle. These days the skin will be the least sensitive to the effects. Day regimen also affects the pain threshold. It is better to choose daytime hours.
- Approximately half an hour, you can drink an anesthetic pill. It is not necessary to take very strong drugs, it is enough for something light.
- You can try to pretreat the surface with gel anesthetic. Keep it on the skin should be about 20 minutes, and the top is better to cover with foil or cling film.
- The bikini area is also often treated with pieces of ice. The cold makes the skin less susceptible for a short period of time, but it should be enough to complete the procedure.
- If you use wax methods or sugar, when you remove the agent from the skin, stretch the dermis with your hands in different directions to reduce discomfort. In the bikini zone, it is quite possible to cope on your own - with one hand, providing tension, and the second - lifting the gel.
- Some help breathing techniques. At the most crucial moment when the hands make a jerk - hold your breath.
Classic bikini or "Brazil"?
The difference between these two approaches:
- In a classic bikini, hairs are removed only from the zone that is on the surface, if you are wearing underwear or the bottom of a swimsuit. This is done for aesthetic reasons, so that on vacation or when going to the pool you didn’t think that there could be a hair sticking out there treacherously.
- Brazilian hair removal is a radical method. You can draw an analogy with cat haircuts. If a classic is a cat that was shaved, but left a lion's mane to it, then Brazil is a sphinx. All right, this method leaves you with no hair in the intimate area. It is much more unpleasant, both physically and morally. For this reason, not everyone ventures on such a move.
Why is hair removal in the intimate area good?
- Now, when the appearance of a person is often put in the first place, we cannot close our eyes to aesthetic aspect. Of course, such a delicate question is a personal matter for everyone, but general sentiments also dictate their own rules. Of course, you do not have to follow fashion, but appearance is not the only reason.
- Hygiene. It will be much easier to care for a bikini area - especially in summer or during menstruation.
- Health. One of the most common STDs is the presence of pubic lice. Unfortunately, our mentality still does not allow loudly discussing such topics out loud, but you need to know the enemy. If you do not have vegetation, the bugs simply have nothing to cling to, and you can save yourself from one unpleasant situation.
Take care of the beauty and health of your skin - especially delicate parts such as the bikini area. Try to do everything carefully, if you decide to get rid of hair yourself, or use the services of professionals.
