Almost all representatives of the fairer sex regularly encounter irritation after shaving. Usually this problem occurs in the intimate area or in the armpit area, as there the skin is thinner and more sensitive. Irritation in most cases appears due to improper and inaccurate shaving.

Important! Many women prefer depilation (shaving off the visible part of the hair) to epilation (removing the hairline along with the root). Superficial shaving is done with a shaving razor.

So, the first tip to reduce irritation after depilation is to purchase a razor with moisturizing strips. They are more expensive, but, firstly, they improve glide, and secondly, they injure the skin less.

Tools and tools

There are many tools available specifically for long-term hair removal - epilation. There are several types of shaving razors for depilation, for example, models with a movable "head" that allow you to shave hard-to-reach areas.

Important! Another disadvantage related to both shugaring and wax depilation is that before the procedure, the hair will have to grow up to 6-8 mm. That is, for some time a woman will need to walk with a rather noticeable bristle.

Additional products used for any type of hair removal:

• moisturizer and / or nourishing cream;
• an alcohol-based disinfecting solution or an alcohol-free antiseptic (for sensitive and allergenic skin);
• shaving foam (improves the glide of the tool, used in tandem with a razor).

These are the basic tools you may need to make your procedure as comfortable as possible and reduce the risk of irritation.

How to shave your bikini area to avoid irritation

After shaving, red rashes and purulent pimples may appear on the skin. Many women experience severe itching throughout the day after the procedure, and some experience discomfort for several days. So how do you avoid all this? "Golden" rules for hair removal and depilation:

1. Prepare skin with warm water. This will help avoid irritation by reducing the amount of microdamage. The skin will "steam", due to which even ingrown hairs will be removed less painfully.
2. Shave / depilate hair in the direction of its growth. Many women remove hairs against their growth, thereby significantly increasing the risk of redness, pimples, and even full-fledged fine cuts.
3. Shave as often as possible. This might seem like a strange advice, but in fact it is very useful and effective. The skin gets used to regular shaving or depilation, due to which it ceases to react violently to these procedures.
4. Cut your hair before shaving if it is quite long. This can be done either with a trimmer or with simple nail scissors. Pre-trimming will make shaving easier and avoid post-shaving irritation.

These are the basic rules for shaving.

By the way, useful advice- for better glide of the razor, you can apply not a special foam, but unnecessary hair balm. The main thing is to thoroughly wash it off after the procedure.

How to care for your skin after shaving

Some women complain of blemishes or excessive dry skin after shaving. As a rule, such problems arise precisely because of not proper care or its complete absence.

Itching in the intimate area is also due to the fact that there are micro-lesions on the skin, the healing of which can be significantly accelerated with the help of a base cream with panthenol. In general, it is proper care that can provide a comfortable feeling and aesthetic appearance(for the sake of which shaving is carried out).

In order to avoid acne, the skin must be treated with alcohol lotion, without touching the mucous membranes. You can purchase a mild antiseptic or special intimate wipes. It is important that the product disinfects and cleans well.

In order to avoid dryness, you need to use a cream. The basic option is a remedy for Nivea. Ideally, the procedure for shaving and subsequent care should look like this: remove hairs in the evening, then treat the area with an alcohol solution and fat cream... Wash in the morning and, if necessary, repeat the leaving part.

Should you shave your bikini area: other hair removal options

Each woman independently chooses whether to shave off her hair in the bikini area and on the body, in principle. Epilation and depilation are mainly aesthetic procedures that do not carry any global benefit. But they still help to reduce the activity of pathogenic microflora.

Hair causes some areas to sweat a lot, and moisture forms an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. Therefore, there is a certain sense in shaving. Of course, with two daily washing, you don't have to shave, but in all other cases, depilation helps to avoid unpleasant odor, itching and discomfort.

In addition to razor depilation, there are hair removal methods such as wax, trimmer, and so on. Their advantages and disadvantages have been described above.

A woman needs to choose the method of shaving that suits her best. Moreover, now there is a huge range of tools and hair removal products.

Nowadays, it is customary to get rid of unwanted vegetation not only in the armpits and on the legs, but also in the intimate area. Smooth skin looks more aesthetically pleasing than thick hair, which often causes discomfort. Many girls, even after trying modern methods of depilation in the form of sugaring and waxing, return to standard shaving. This is a proven painless way to remove vegetation from all areas of the body, including the bikini area. To avoid the irritation that often occurs when shaving delicate areas, it is important to know and follow the rules for the procedure and the subsequent care of the treated skin.

If everything is clear with the depilation of the armpits (at present it is impossible to imagine a girl with thick hair in the armpits), then with the bikini area, the situation is not so simple. Should you succumb to fashion trends and completely shave off your hairs in intimate places, or does it make sense to leave hair on delicate areas?

Natural beauty proponents argue that hair is designed by nature to protect organs from dangerous infections. Others say that these same bacteria and viruses, lingering in the hair, create a favorable environment for the reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms and the development of diseases. Therefore, shaving intimate areas is a necessary hygienic measure for a woman.

As usual, the truth must be found somewhere in between. Deep depilation, affecting all areas of the bikini, is not always justified: the procedure is not only difficult to perform, but also leaves the intimate surface really without natural protection against bacteria and viruses. But the removal of vegetation completely in the pubic area or exclusively along the line of the panties so that the hairs do not protrude from under the underwear is an understandable aesthetic measure that does not interfere with the proper functioning of intimate organs.

Some girls shave off the vegetation on the surface of the pubis not completely, but leaving a thin strip of short hairs. This type of bikini depilation is called French. In addition to the strip, you can perform any other intimate haircut.

Which machine is suitable for depilation of intimate areas

Before proceeding with the procedure for shaving hairs in intimate places, it is important to choose the right tool for this type of depilation - a machine. It depends on this to a greater extent whether the procedure will be as safe as possible: without cuts, as well as subsequent irritations and inflammations. It is important that only you use the purchased machine (for hygienic reasons).

To remove hairs in the delicate bikini area, do not use disposable machines that have a stationary head. The blades used in these tools are not of high quality. To perform the procedure efficiently, take a special razor designed for women and having a floating head. This will provide easy shaving of hairs on the uneven relief of the intimate zone. And the protective strip on reusable machines will make the session more comfortable and safe.

Use razors with at least 3-4 blades. With the help of such machines, you can quickly remove hairs without the need to repeat the instrument over the same area, which is often the cause of irritation on delicate skin.

Currently presented a large number of razors that differ in cost and ergonomics. Below, in ascending order of price, are presented the most popular and well-proven women's machines, which are also used for depilation of the intimate zone.

Table: ladies shavers

Make sure the blades are sharp: it is recommended to change them after 6-7 times of use.

In addition, for a comfortable shave, it is important to purchase a quality gel, rather than using regular soap that does not provide skin protection from cuts and irritation. A special tool will make the hairs softer and more pliable, ensuring that the blades glide easily over the surface.

A proven product is Satin Care Gel, which is ideal for depilating delicate areas. It simultaneously softens, moisturizes and cools the skin, nourishing it with beneficial vitamins and oils. This is quite an affordable tool - the price of one package starts at 200 rubles.

How to shave your bikini area without side effects

In order to shave intimate areas without the risk of irritation and inflammation, it is important not only to choose the right machine and gel for the soft gliding of the blades. The technique used is no less significant: holding the razor over the skin in any direction will make the procedure unsafe and reduce the quality of the result. There is a proven method for shaving hair correctly, which must be followed.

However, first you need to prepare the intimate surface for the upcoming procedure, which requires the following steps:

1. The day before the planned procedure, scrub the skin in the bikini area - this will help remove the stratum corneum so that the hairs are shaved as close to the roots as possible.
2. If the hairs in the bikini area are too long, then trim them with scissors with rounded ends to 5-7 mm.
3. To steam the skin, take a warm shower (10-15 minutes is enough) or use warm compresses soaked in an herbal solution. This softens coarse hairs and makes them easier to remove with a razor.

The procedure will take place without cuts, redness and irritation, as well as the risk of ingrown hairs in the future, if you follow the shaving technique:

1. Dampen bikini areas with warm water and apply a gel designed to treat the skin while shaving.
2. Foam the composition and wait until the composition is absorbed into the skin and softens the hairs - 5 minutes is enough.
3. Place the shaver under running water or immerse it in a bowl of warm water for improved glide.
4. Pull the leather a little with one hand, and run the machine with the other. Follow the movements sequentially: first along the line of hair growth to avoid ingrowth, and then in the opposite direction for the smoothest skin possible.
5. Rinse the blades from time to time to avoid trapping hairs between them.
6. Add the required amount of gel as needed to treat the entire bikini area.

Shave movements should be as smooth and soft as possible. Avoid applying excessive pressure or running the razor over the same area several times to avoid cuts. If you do get hurt, immediately treat the damaged area with Chlorhexidine or hydrogen peroxide.

Once you have finished the procedure, take care of proper care of the treated surface. This will minimize the risk of irritation and redness. First of all, do the following:

1. Rinse your intimate area with warm water and gently pat dry with a towel.
2. Treat your skin with an antibacterial agent - Chlorhexidine, Miramistin, or hydrogen peroxide will do.
3. Apply on smooth skin a moisturizing cream with a soothing effect.

• Do not rush to get dressed immediately after the procedure - let your skin rest for 10 minutes.
• Do not rub the treated areas or massage them within 2 days after depilation, and also refuse to use alcohol-containing lotions for surface treatment before and after the procedure.
• After 2 days, deeply cleanse your bikini skin using peeling. Subsequently exfoliate at intervals of 2 days to prevent the risk of ingrown hairs.
• For the next 3 days after the procedure, avoid wearing underwear made of synthetic materials and tight-fitting to the body.
• Do not start shaving if your intimate areas have pimples and other inflammations, as well as skin lesions.

Choose evening time for depilation so that the skin can fully recover during the night.

Also, do not expose delicate skin daily depilation. Allow the surface to recover from shaving for 2-3 days. It is better to start the next procedure when the hairs grow back a little, otherwise the skin will react with the appearance of red dots, irritation and itching.

How to deal with irritation in your intimate area after shaving

If irritation occurs, it is important to immediately treat the skin with special agents, otherwise the likelihood of an inflammatory process is high. The aggravation of the situation is evidenced by the appearance of small pimples, increased sensitivity of the surface and the occurrence of itching. In this case, you should postpone the next procedure for shaving hairs and do the correct treatment.

Cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions

In case of slight redness, lubricate the treated areas daily with the following cosmetics:

1. Floresan cream. Not only promotes skin regeneration, but also slows down the appearance of new hairs with regular use.
2. Klorane cream. Has a pronounced moisturizing effect on delicate surfaces, reducing irritation and itching.
3. Velvet cream gel. Quickly removes irritation on very sensitive areas by disinfecting the skin.
4. GreenMama gel. Due to the inclusion in the composition of arnica and aloe in the form of extracts, it reduces the intensity of discomfort after shaving and accelerates the healing of the skin.

Apply creams, ointments or gels until the bikini surface is completely healed.

In case of increased irritation and the occurrence of pronounced pimples, it is necessary to use antiseptic pharmaceutical preparations, since the usual cosmetics is no longer necessary. The most popular are:

1. Salicylic ointment. Helps to soften the dense layer of skin, preventing increased inflammation and ingrown hair. It is necessary to use the ointment with caution, since allergic manifestations in the form of itching or slight burning sensation may appear. It is used daily to treat damaged areas.
2. Zinc ointment. Inexpensive pharmacy product that dries out inflamed areas. Promotes rapid removal of burning sensation and reduction of itching. Distributed by problem skin several times a day (no more than 3 times).
3. Bepanten cream. Helps to reduce inflammation by disinfecting and softening the surface. It is applied in the morning and evening hours every day in an even layer.
4. Vagisil cream. It is a product with herbal ingredients, which is designed to moisturize the skin after each depilation procedure.
5. Boro Plus cream. Suitable for use on sensitive areas: it has a pronounced healing effect due to the content of natural ingredients. It is best used in the evening and left on the surface overnight, as the cream has a greasy texture.
6. Gel Traumeel S. It is used for severe inflammation, as well as in the presence of edema. Apply to irritated areas about 3 times a day.

Remember that before applying cosmetic or pharmacy products it is necessary to cleanse the skin.

Folk ways

As a complement to ready-made products available at drugstores or beauty stores, try applying herbal compresses. They will help you deal with inflammation, redheads, and itching faster.

To prepare the herbal compress, use the popular recipe:

1. Place the dried herbs of sage, chamomile, mint and celandine in a small container (just prepare 1 teaspoon of each ingredient).
2. Pour 1 cup of the herbal mixture with water and put on low heat.
3. Cook for about 6-8 minutes.
4. Cool and filter the prepared broth.
5. To treat irritated areas, take a soft towel that must be moistened with liquid.
6. After 15 minutes, simply pat dry with a dry towel.
7. Perform sessions for at least 5 days in a row.

For the treatment of inflamed areas, you can prepare a regular chamomile decoction by pouring 2 tablespoons of dried flowers with 1 glass of boiling water.

Parsley infusion has a strong antibacterial effect, which is prepared according to this recipe:

1. Pre-cut a small amount of parsley so that you get 1 tablespoon of chopped leaves.
2. Pour the prepared parsley small amount boiling water (1 glass is enough) and wait 25-30 minutes.
3. Strain the resulting infusion.
4. Dip a napkin in the liquid, which must then be applied to the inflamed area.
5. Leave the compress on for 10-15 minutes.
6. For the best effect, carry out the procedure at least 2 times a day.

For healing and antiseptic treatment of the intimate surface, aloe is also used, which can be found in almost any home. If this medicinal plant does not grow on your windowsill, then you can purchase aloe juice at the pharmacy and treat problem areas with it daily. The leaf must be cut in half and applied to the skin with the meaty part for 10-15 minutes.

If you notice that the skin is very dry after shaving, then you can prepare a moisturizing composition with sour cream:

1. Prepare a mixture of 1 teaspoon thick sour cream and 0.5 teaspoon olive oil.
2. After thoroughly mixing the resulting composition, distribute in an even layer over the skin in the intimate area.
3. Wait about 10 minutes.
4. Use a dry cloth to remove any remaining mixture.

Of the essential oils for relieving inflammation, it is best suited essential oil tea tree. Just do not use it separately - before applying, be sure to mix the essential composition in the amount of 2 drops with a tablespoon of base oil (olive, almond or other). Wipe the irritated areas with the resulting mixture every day.

Apply folk remedies regularly until the surface is completely restored. The time it takes for delicate areas to heal depends on many factors: shaving technique, proper care and individual characteristics. A slight redness goes away rather quickly - within about a day. If unpleasant symptoms persist or worsen for a longer time, consult a professional (preferably a dermatologist).

Intimate styling is becoming more and more popular among men and women, but it is not so easy to achieve smooth and sexy skin in intimate places - it is a delicate business that requires certain skills and abilities. It doesn't matter if you are a woman or a man - it is important to shave your hair without the risk of injury and prevent the appearance of irritation on the skin, and in this article we will show you how to do it.

Steps

Preparing to shave

Trim your pubic hair first. Shavers are designed to shave short stubble and quickly clog and dull when used on long hair... To cut your hair, gently pull it up and away from you, and then trim it with small sharp scissors or a hair clipper with attachment. You can even use an electric trimmer without rotating heads... Leave only half a centimeter of hair length or less.

• If you have never had an intimate haircut, you might want to leave short hair for a few days - this will allow you to get used to new sensations.
• If you are lacking in dexterity, it is best to keep the scissors away from such a vulnerable area of ​​the body. You will need to bring the cutting surfaces very close to your skin. Therefore, if the thought makes you nervous, it is better to use an electric trimmer, with which you can trim your hair without touching your skin.

1. Take a hot shower or bath to soften your hair and hair follicles. This will make coarse pubic hair much easier to shave off. This may seem like an unnecessary step, but a hot bath or shower will make your next shave a lot easier.

   Lather your hair to avoid irritation. You can also use unscented foam or shaving gel. It is best to choose a foam or cream that is intended for shaving hair in the intimate area, and not on the face, because these products have significant differences. remember, that shaving hair without cream or foam is not recommended.

   Get the most out of your shave

   1. Take a razor. It's new, isn't it? The newer the blade, the better it will shave. It is recommended to use machines with multiple blades and gel pads on both sides to allow the machine head to slide. It makes no difference whether your razor is pink or blue. If it is sharp and has 3-4 blades, shaving will not only be easier, but also safer.

      • Don't feel like buying new razors all the time? In this case, you should take good care of those that you already have. Highlight one grooming machine and always rinse thoroughly after use. In addition, the razor needs to be allowed to dry as water can accelerate the corrosion of the blades, making them dull faster.

   2. Pull the skin tightly. If you run the razor over relaxed skin, you can cut yourself. Razors work best on a straight, smooth surface. Free hand Pull the leather tightly and continue to hold it, it will be much easier for you.

      • To make things easier, start at the navel. Stretch the skin above the hairline and move in any direction. The type of intimate hairstyle depends only on your desires. You can shave everything, or you can leave a small area or do something more complicated. Your body is a canvas and you are an artist. However, if you are banned from the bathroom for a few hours to create a masterpiece, people will start asking you questions.

   3. Shave with soft, smooth strokes. It's important to remember the following: shaving on hair growth will avoid irritation, and shaving against hair growth will make the skin smoother. Keep this in mind, but act with your body in mind. If you have very sensitive skin, it is best to shave for the growth of your hair, even if you have to spend twice the time on it than shaving against the growth of hair.

      • If you want a smoother shave, try shaving across your hair. For example, if hair grows downward, shave left or right. Learn to feel the hairs by touch instead of trying to see them. The absence of the need to examine the skin up close will speed up the process.
      • Don't shave for too long... Shave each section just enough to remove hair. Rubbing the razor too much will inflame the skin.
      • At first, you will notice that if you shave your intimate hair for two days in a row, your skin will become covered with red bumps and / or itchy. If so, just take a few days off between treatments until your skin gets used to the changes.

   4. Don't forget about the area between the buttocks. If you have ever waxed your bikini area, you probably remember how it seemed to you that everything was over, but then the depilation master asked you to roll over to the other side. Exactly... She needed to get to that part of the body that you completely forgot about. In the case of shaving, it is the same if you want to get rid of unnecessary hair everywhere.

   5. Clean up after you. Save yourself embarrassing moments, show respect for others, and clean up the drain after you.

      • The easiest way is to cut your hair over the toilet, and shave your hair in the shower (at least when it comes to cleaning). Once you're done, take a close look at the plums, floor, towels, and razor. There should be no traces anywhere.

   A well-groomed woman always looks more attractive and feels confident. Even when it comes to those parts of the body that are not visible to most. Caring for the intimate area of ​​women is just one of those.

   Shaving is the most popular way to get rid of unwanted hair in the groin area. However, for the procedure to be successful, it is important to do everything right.

   What is required?

   In order for the shaving of intimate areas to be successful, a woman needs to prepare everything necessary in advance:

   • Shaver;
   • shaving foam or gel;
   • After Shave Cream;
   • skin care products (cream, powder, etc.);
   The bikini shaving razor must be separate
   • tweezers;
   • mirror;
   • scissors.

   You should pay particular attention to the most important tool - the razor. For shaving in the "bikini" area, without exception, everyone recommends to have a separate tool.

   Most girls and women prefer the advertised machines. However, they are mainly designed to remove unwanted hair from the legs.

   For intimate care, it is better to choose a men's razor

   And of course, the blade should be sharp, ideally new.

   Separately, I would like to say about the choice of care products for the delicate area. To avoid irritation, you need to choose them especially carefully. If possible, you should prefer those that do not contain fragrances and fragrances.

   Moreover, you need to give up your favorite soap... It dries out the skin and can disrupt the PH level in the bikini area. All of these recommendations also apply to after-shave skin care products.

   Preparing to shave

   In addition to the choice of products, it is very important to properly prepare the groin area for the upcoming shave. You can, of course, do everything without preparation, so to speak, on hastily... But then there is a risk of getting irritation and redness in the bikini area as an unpleasant gift. This is hardly the result that most women and girls are counting on.

   Hair that is too long should be removed first.... This can be done with sharp scissors. You need to work carefully so as not to harm yourself.

   
   Safe nail scissors are convenient for the bikini area

   Of course, the razor can handle dense vegetation as well. But then you have to make more movements, which contributes to the appearance of irritation on the skin. In addition, in this case, the razor dulls faster, and the blade will have to be changed frequently.

   Further, before shaving intimate areas, women should take a shower to remove impurities and steam sensitive skin. This will facilitate further shaving. "Dry" hair removal is very painful and traumatic. Here it is worth taking an example from men who will remove hair from the face, only by steaming it well.

   Get the most out of your shave

   Once your skin is ready and everything you need is in stock, you can start shaving your intimate areas. In order for a woman not to get irritation on the skin as a supplement, you need to follow a few simple rules.

   So what is the procedure for properly removing unwanted hair?

   1. The most common mistake is shaving against hair growth. In such a delicate place, this should be done in the opposite direction. Moreover, the less movements there are, the better.
   2. While shaving, experts recommend using a mirror to avoid injury. It doesn't have to be large, full-length. You can take a small one that will be easy to hold in your hand. Over time, you can learn how to carry out a delicate procedure by touch.
   3. Those who are planning to make a "deep bikini" should remember that there are unwanted hairs not only in front, but also behind, in the gluteal hollow.

   It is not necessary to remove all hairs

   You can leave some hair. The main thing is that it looks appropriate.

   Then you need to properly finish the procedure and take care of the skin.

   • After shaving, gently dry the bikini area with a terry towel. Just don't rub. It is better to blot gently, lightly touching the skin so that there is no irritation.
   
   Wrapped in a soft terry towel, you can walk for a while to allow your skin to breathe
   • On dry skin, apply an aftershave balm or cream, avoiding the labia area. It is important not to upset the PH balance. This can lead to the appearance of an unloved thrush, itching in this area and other minor troubles.
   • You should not, if possible, immediately put on your underwear. Let the irritated skin breathe and the cream is absorbed. It is best to leave it in this state overnight. If this is not possible, then at least 15-20 minutes is worth walking without panties.

   Prevention of skin redness and irritation

   The best prevention, of course, is proper shaving preparation and skin care. However, even if all recommendations are followed, the skin can still be irritated. What else could be the reason?

   First, a woman should only take a sharp razor to shave intimate areas. A dull blade will not only cause skin irritation... This can cause cuts, which are highly undesirable in such a delicate place.

   Secondly, you need to be very careful about the choice of shaving and care products. Before using them for their intended purpose, you should try on other parts of the body. New products can cause allergies, which can be even more pronounced on delicate skin.

   
   Smooth and healthy skin bikini zones - an indicator of a well-performed shaving procedure

   Thirdly, talcum powder must not be used for skin care in the "bikini" area... It clogs pores, which can lead to redness and acne. It is not easy to put the delicate skin in order after it.

   Note! Even the closest shave can leave fine hairs. It is easier to remove them with tweezers.... It doesn't hurt as much as it sounds. But the skin will not be overly irritated.

   On the one hand, a woman needs to shave intimate areas from a hygienic point of view. On the other hand, this procedure is quite traumatic.

   Handle the razor very carefully to avoid cuts. Therefore, the best time to remove unwanted hair in the "bikini" area is the evening, when there is nowhere to rush. If, nevertheless, trouble occurs, then the cut should be immediately treated with hydrogen peroxide..

   At first, even with the most careful approach to the procedure, skin irritation may occur. The thing is, she's not used to it yet.

   To relieve irritation and reduce itching, use a special balm or aftershave cream... You can also use baby cream for diaper rash with salicylic acid. It will have a soothing and healing effect on the skin.

   The skin has time to recover during this period, and the irritation from the procedure will be minimal.

   I would like to point out that the shaving razor should be kept dry and separate from other care items. And, of course, you shouldn't use someone else's. After all, we are talking about intimate hygiene. When using the same care items, you can accidentally become infected with different infectious diseases.

   
   Homemade bikini scrub

   If ingrown hairs appear after shaving, they can be removed with a scrub... There are special ones for the care of delicate skin in the "bikini" area. If this is not the case, then you can replace it with homemade ones. For him, mix ground coffee, honey and olive oil so that the mass resembles a kashitsa. Apply gently to skin and rinse with warm water.

   How else can you remove hair in the bikini area, besides shaving

   Of course, shaving is the most popular method for getting rid of unwanted hair. However, for last years there were many other ways. Each has its own pros and cons. Everything in order.

   All methods of body hair removal fall into 2 broad categories: hair removal and depilation. In the first case, we are talking about the complete disposal of the hairline along with the bulb. In the second - only from the visible part of it.

   The most famous methods of hair removal include:

   • photoepilation,
   • laser hair removal,
   • shugaring,
   • waxing,
   • hair removal with an epilator.

   And also some others. In most cases, hair removal is performed in beauty salons.

   One of the most expensive procedures is laser and photoepilation. Their principle of operation is similar. In one case, the hair is removed with a laser, in the other with light.

   
   Laser hair removal

   The advertisements promise that after these procedures, the vegetation from the body will disappear forever. In fact, everything is individual. In addition, improper or too long exposure can cause irritation and burns at the site of exposure.

   More affordable waxing and sugaring.

   In the first case, the desired area is applied warm wax, and then with the help of strips of special cloth, it is removed along with unwanted vegetation. It should be noted that the procedure is quite painful. After it, irritation often occurs, especially after the first procedures. Therefore, it is worth stocking up on a soothing cream.

   Sugaring is a more delicate procedure where sugar paste is used instead of wax.... V Lately uses no less often than shaving intimate areas.

   In addition to a razor, an epilator can be recommended for a woman at home. It removes hair delicately, without the risk of cutting. In this case, the procedure is required to be carried out less often than shaving. Over time, no more than once every 3-4 weeks.

   For home epilation to be successful, it is better to use a special attachment. After the procedure, be sure to treat the groin area with an emollient cream..

   
   Bikini zone shugaring

   In addition to shaving, depilation methods include removal with a special cream. Under the influence of chemicals, hair is easily removed with a scraper.

   True, their effect is very individual. Some women claim that this method of depilation is not effective for them. In addition, no one can predict how the cream will affect the intimate area. No one is immune from irritation and allergies.

   To remove or not to remove hair in the "bikini" area is a private matter for every woman. However, do not forget that both extremes are equally bad - both dense vegetation and its complete absence.

   So recently, intimate haircuts have become popular and even hair dyeing in groin area, which undoubtedly adds piquancy and extraordinary sexuality to any girl.
