With summer fast approaching, ladies all the world over get ready to head for the beaches and pools. This means bikinis and swimwear. Today's bikini manufacturers have become more brazen in making smaller bikinis. These however absolutely cannot be worn without shaving. This is because most people who now go outdoors want a clean smooth look.
Wearing skimpy swimwear involves shaving especially the legs, underarms and bikini area. This presents some problems for many women. These include itching and the emergence of nasty ingrown hairs and blood-spots, not to mention rashes.
Razor bumps are tiny discolored pimples that happen especially in an area that has been shaved. They emerge as a result of the shaved hair starting to grow again and puncturing the skin as it re-grows. This causes inflammation and in extreme cases the area may become infected.
A few simple steps can eradicate these bikini razor bumps. One of them is off course to ensure that when you shave you make sure to use a new razor every single time and also to use clinically approved shaving gel. This minimizes the chances of razor bumps because one of the main reasons for their occurrence is when you reuse your razor. Today, however, more women are choosing to get a bikini wax. If done well, this can be a successful way of eradicating razor bumps.
If you are determined to get a bikini wax, there are a few points you should think about. First of all, you need to allow 24 hours after the wax before you venture out. This is because that's how long it takes for the soreness and the redness to subside.
Another aspect to consider is to seek professional help. This is because many women attempt to do waxing themselves with disastrous and not to mention very painful results. Professional bikini wax stylists are well versed with the intricacies of shaving this intimate area and have the necessary lotions and cremes on hand to finish the work off. It is therefore recommended that no matter how tempted you are to do it yourself, pay a visit to a real stylist in a real salon. This is also because you can be sure that when you explain exactly what you want to the stylist, they will be able to carry out your wishes exactly the way you want.
It is also a very good idea that if it has been a while since your last shave or if it is the first time, you must trim the excess hair with a scissors yourself before you go to the salon. This is because the bikini wax is applied to the hairy area with a wooden stick and then the strip is ripped off. This comes out covered with hair and dead skin cells. The longer the hair the more painful and sore you will be.
This whole process takes about 15-20 minutes to complete. The soreness may last about 24 to 48 hours and it is recommended that you use warm water and apply a cooling lotion to the waxed area.
