Before and after skin care tips to follow a bikini wax

Some women literally dread bikini wax because it is painful just like waxing in other parts of your body pain. However, if some skin care regimen and other basic tips are followed, you can make your bikini wax less painful, longer lasting, and the one your skin will love. Here are some tips one must follow for an ideal bikini wax experience:

Prefer a good salon over DIY

People today love doing things and projects on their own, rather depending upon others. However, you should refrain going DIY when it comes to a bikini wax. First, your not so pro waxing skills might burn your super sensitive area. Second, physically it is not possible, as you cannot bend much to see and pluck every hair in the region. This makes uprooting hair next to impossible and might leave ingrown hair that trouble later on.

Let it grow

A bikini wax is not meant for super small hair growth, so let them grow. They should at least be a quarter-inch long for a perfect bikini wax. At times women feel the strong urge to get rid of pubic hair but you should try to resist that urge and let them grow until a point they are worthy for a bikini wax removal.

Avoid hot baths

Soon after waxing the skin pores are open, which are susceptible to bacterial infections. They also are susceptible to irritation, which a hot water bath, steam sauna, and hot shower can cause. You must avoid using hot water to the area for at least 24 hours after undergoing a bikini wax.

No workout or wearing tight clothes

If you put on too tight clothes after a bikini wax, your skin would not be able to breathe and you might get unsightly bumps on your private areas. The same goes for an immediate workout session as well, so no working out before 48hours of your bikini waxing procedure.

Consider your menstruation cycle

You should never plan a bikini wax two or three days before you start menstruating because of the increased skin sensitivity during this period. Try to plan it much before it comes.

Get it done without any fail

The more you wax the lesser you experience the pain. Ensure you exclusively go for a bikini wax and no shaving or usage of any other hair removal method in between.

Bikini wax is a little more painful than the ones done on other parts of your body. However, the pain and the aftereffects you can turn all positive provided you follow essential skin care tips.
