Proper epilation of the bikini area at home. Epilation of the bikini area, which method is better. Is it possible to do the procedure during menstruation?

My story of fighting body hair began from the period of puberty and continues to this day) In general, quite a long time)

Wax epilation, today, the most best option hair removal for me.

Let me explain the difference right away. Depilation from Epilation:

Chemical depilation using cream

2. Epilation- artificial hair removal (from French. epiler- “to remove hair”) by destroying the hair follicles in one way or another.

It differs from depilation in that it allows you to get rid of hair in the bikini area.

For excellent results you need:

• Find a master. This is the most important and difficult thing. Yes, girls. For the first procedure, I advise you to go to the salon and look at all the materials and equipment, a person who knows a lot about this matter. Read city forums, customer reviews, ask friends and acquaintances, in general, follow the recommendations of knowledgeable people.
• Grow your hair. Yes. This is definitely a close second. Growing my hair is a big problem for me personally, since I have a permanent relationship with a man and cannot afford excessive hairiness. I found a way out) I start growing it 2 days before the start of my period and by the end I can epilate) it’s like an iron-clad alibi in front of my husband).
• Make a price/quality comparison. Of course, I advise you to go to 2-3 masters. For comparison. Although specialists work in the same field, they still prefer different methods. Spend different times. The results are also different. This is why prices vary. Look for “your” master.

The search for my master was successful, so I’m happy to share my impressions))

I had a deep bikini and armpit done at the salon. I constantly treat my legs with an epilator, because it is difficult to grow the length.

Time for hair removal with hot wax:

Deep bikini - 30 minutes;

Armpits - 7 minutes.

Cost of hair removal in a salon (Moscow region):

Deep bikini - 1000 rubles;

Armpits - 300 rubles.

As a result, in 40 minutes and for 1300 rubles we get 2 weeks of perfect smoothness))

After the procedure, the skin remains irritated and painful for several hours. This is normal, don't be alarmed. Good master should not leave bruises or hematomas on the body. Be sure to buy yourself a soothing gel after hair removal. This product will help the skin recover faster and recover from stress.

After some time visiting the salon, thoughts crept into my mind - “shouldn’t I try it myself?”

I kindly asked the master to give me the opportunity to pull a strip of frozen wax once... Of course, at that time, I had already been epilated for probably the tenth time and by that time I had seen all the techniques for performing the procedure, in general I knew how to apply and where to pull then) The master gave me a spatula in my hands and with a decisive movement I applied the wax along the hair growth.. Frozen.. I stretch the skin.. I close my eyes.. I take a full lungful of air.. And.. I sharply pull against the hair growth. Yes, girls. It hurts. It hurts more than with the hands of a master. Hurting yourself is even more painful. My hands were already shaking with pain. And then I thought that I myself would no longer dare to do this.

But that was not the case. The pain was immediate and quickly forgotten. Literally right away. As soon as I returned home)) I searched all over Google and YouTube. I watched all the videos. I could have been given a specialist certificate. Mentally I felt ready))

I can say that I was inspired and still bought myself a complete set))))

What will be needed for the procedure? :

1. Hairs 4-7 mm long (it is better to grow during menstrual periods, this way we will achieve optimal length and minimal pain during the procedure);
2. We scrub the bikini area 2 days before the procedure to remove dead epithelial cells and prevent ingrown hairs (use a scrub or washcloth medium hard) ;
3. Wax melt;
4. Wax;
5. Epilator;
6. Talc (powder) + cotton pads;
7. Wooden stick;
8. Miramistin or chlorhexidine;
9. Tweezers
10. Oil to remove wax residues;
11. Sufficient amount of time;
12. Courage!

Fixed assets:

I use depilflax wax. Pink. Designed for coarse short hair.

Tango wax melter. Simple, convenient, inexpensive. Melts quickly and maintains temperature throughout the entire procedure. Has a removable 400 ml bowl.

So, when we have prepared everything and gathered our strength, we can begin the procedure itself))

First we wash ourselves in the usual way, wipe the skin dry, wipe it with an antiseptic and sprinkle it with talcum powder (I use Johnson Baby powder).

Heat the wax to a medium consistency (it should not be too thick or drip from the spatula). Girls, please be careful, too liquid wax can leave a burn. Test the temperature on your wrist. Then, of course, with experience, you will know by consistency whether it can be used or whether it is better to cool it a little.

Apply wax according to hair growth. Again... In the bikini area, especially deep ones, hair grows in different directions. For effective removal hair, it is important to take this fact into account and be sure to apply wax according to hair growth. Removal of wax from the skin occurs, accordingly, against hair growth. Before removing the strip of wax, you should stretch the skin well, this way you will ease your pain).

I'll be honest, it's very painful. Especially after a razor, when the hair is thick and coarse. But believe me, the result is worth it to endure))

The whole procedure takes me 40-50 minutes. Single hairs remain on the surface, which I immediately remove with an epilator.

Wax residues can be easily removed with any oil. I chose Johnson Baby with chamomile.

After the procedure, we wipe the skin with an alcohol-free antiseptic! I recommend miramistin or chlorhexidine.

And so.. Voila))) we have a perfectly smooth bikini that will delight us with its smoothness for 10-14 days) Then single hairs will begin to grow. They can be removed with tweezers or an epilator, extending the smoothness for another 5-7 days. And yes, by the way, do not forget to scrub the epilated area every 3 days to prevent ingrown hairs.

Why do I torture myself at home, you ask? 😃 Yes, because it’s not as expensive as visiting a salon)) and besides, you don’t have to show your “beauty” to strangers).

Cost of all funds used:

I've been doing hair removal myself for about 2 years. I have never regretted that I decided to do it myself. The savings are colossal. And also pride in the fact that I can make myself even more beautiful, efficiently, quickly, safely)))

Be healthy and beautiful! 💋

Every girl dreams of looking spectacular and flawless. But this requires spending a lot of time and effort. This is especially necessary when it comes beach season and the bikini area is in the field of view of others. While you are lying on the thickly covered beach and relaxing your back, you won’t see any shots. It would seem like the 21st century, so much! But no, they are apparently even unfamiliar to some.

Therefore, of all existing methods Depilation of the bikini area with wax is considered the most effective. So, how to properly do waxing in the bikini area at home.

Types of waxing: advantages and disadvantages

Warm wax It has a delicate consistency due to the fact that it contains pine resin and beekeeping products. Before the procedure, the wax must be heated to a semi-liquid state and applied to problem areas. You can remove the wax along with the hair roots using special paper strips.

Advantage the fact is that the strips are easy to remove, the pain is felt, but tolerable. This method has only one drawback - it is contraindicated for those who have individual intolerance to bee products.

• regular design - hair is removed only in visible places (that is, outside the panties), the remaining part is carefully trimmed;
• under French depilation refers to the removal of hair on the pubis and in the labia area, after the procedure a narrow strip should remain;
• under Hollywood hair removal refers to the removal of hair between the buttocks, in the groin area and in the front, leaving only a small triangle on the pubis;
• Brazilian hair removal the most time-consuming and painful, since it is necessary to remove every hair in the bikini area.

If a few hairs remain after the procedure, they can be removed using ordinary tweezers. Wax is always applied in the direction of hair growth and pulled out in the opposite direction. When removing hair on the labia, apply the product towards the pubis and pull out the strips downwards.
