Waxing in the bikini area can be scary and many women say it is the most painful area to wax. Some say that the more often you do it, the more you will get used to it and consequently the pain will not be the same. Either way, there is no need to panic. Here are 4 tips that professionals give, for waxing to go properly.
1. Let the hairs grow
Do not even think to leave the next meeting with the beautician, if the length of the hairs is not from 0.3 to 0.6 cm. This is the ideal length for waxing because the wax holds up well, pulling the hair directly from the root. On the other hand. On the other hand, the hairs are not suggested to be even longer than 0.6 cm. Beauticians usually suggest waxing every 4-5 weeks. Meanwhile, while waiting, never make the mistake of waxing with a razor - You will regret when you are chosen with "straw hair", says expert Coba Davidov.
2. Avoid touching
Avoid direct contact with newly waxed skin. This will not only block the pores but also transfer the bacteria from the hands to the depilated skin. Also stay away from the sun for 1-2 days after waxing and make sure to always use sunscreen!
3. Only go to PROFESSIONALS
Waxing at home is an option, but a better result is always to a professional beautician. Be sure to go to someone who knows how to do this really well, because otherwise you may have problems afterwards or more pain during waxing.
4. Exfoliate the skin and moisturize
Keeping skin healthy and hydrated before waxing allows hair to be completely removed. After waxing, exfoliate the skin once a week and hydrate daily.
5. Be smart
Think about the long term. The beauty of waxing is that with regular sessions, the need for waxing gradually decreases. Gradually, the hairs will grow in a steady cycle and become weaker, thinner which means that later, you can push even longer the space between the two waxing appointments.
