For whatever reason, it feels like everyone gets Brazillian’s but nobody talks about it. If you’re daring to go bare down there for the first-time or are just in need of some helplful pointers, here’s a few tips and tricks and everything you can expect of your bikini waxing experience.
1. Pop a pain pill before going
Yes, it hurts. The adjective I prefer to use is “intense.” It’s succinct and perfectly sums up the experience. But don’t let this scare you, there’s plenty of remedies to help alleviate the pain. One easy and favorite trick is to pop a Tylenol or other pain-relieving medication about 30-45 minutes before your appointment. It’ll totally help minimize any pain and discomfort.
2. Check your calendar
Here’s one tip I didn’t know until the second time I ever went in: don’t book an appointment right before you get your period. The area is much more sensitive about a week before and during your menstrual cycle so the pain will be much more intense. Plan ahead, check your calendar and be sure to plan your waxing session accordingly.
3. Numbing creams
I’ve never tried this before but people swear by No-Scream Cream. It’s a topical anesthetic that helps numb the area before you go in for a wax. You apply 35-45 minutes before your appointment to decrease any waxing discomfort. You can get No -Scream Cream and other bikini waxing products in the collection at www.noscreamcream.com.
4. Exfoliate
Exfoliate the day before your appointment for better results. You’ll remove dead skin cells and soften your hair follicles and skin. It will also help prevent ingrown hairs.
5. After-care
For redness you can apply some aloe vera or a hydrocortisone cream to treat bumps or ingrown hairs. I also hear bliss Ingrown Eliminating Pads are quite fantastic. You can get them at www.drugstore.com.
6. Skip the gym
Some of us learn this lesson the hard way……don’t go to the gym. Wait about 24 hours as the sweat and rubbing of the clothes is just going to irritate the skin and that won’t be fun.
Celebrities can afford personal chefs, personal trainers and lots of plastic surgery. Still, Life & Style seems to think the reason why various stars look good in a bikini is a big mystery - and the tabloid is excited to reveal it in its latest issue! A trio of beauties opened up to the magazine about their secrets behind their bangin bodies. Read what they have to say below... Rihanna: "I like wearing a bikini with a cover-up that's loose, not too long and a little bit sheer... If I know I'm going on vacation, I'll do Pilates for two weeks straight." Kim Kardashian, who tries to emphasis her iconic backside: "I love to put the treadmill on maximum incline and run backward. It's good to switch it up - run forward for 10 minutes, then backward for 10 minutes. Repeat for 40 minutes total and you'll really see results in your booty." Kristin Cavallari: "I have very little hips, so a string bikini gives me curves and pushes up my boobs... I drink a ton of water and eat stuff that doesn't make me bloat, like fresh fruits and veggies." Mischa Barton may be fighting for her life... but certain celebrities look good in bikinis! Which story would you highlight?
Shaving first became popular during World War II when nylon stockings were in short supply and bare legs became a trend that has yet to cease.
3. You are going to have to experiment with razors until you find the perfect one for you. Ask your friends for recommendations and look for a razor with lubricated strips, pivoting heads and spring-mouonted multiple blades. I've sampled several types and varieties and was amazed at how different each feels. My favorite? The Gillette Venus razor. Another great and new bet:Schick Quattro for Women, which has four super-thin blades and a pivoting head.
4. Be sure to change razors or cartridges on a regular basis, a dull blade can lead to nicks. Also, it's best not to borrow your guy's razor. His hair is coarser and will dull a blade. (Plus, don't men typically hate it when women borrow razors?)
5. Be sure to exfoliate your skin before shaving. It gets rid of all the dead skin cells that could clog up your razor, preventing a close shave.
6. Since your leg hairs grow down, you'll want to start at your ankles and shave up. For your underarms, you'll need to shave in every direction since the hair there grows every which way.
7. When finished, apply oil or moisturizer. The skin on your legs has few oil glands and has a tendency for dryness.
8. Ingrown hairs are caused when the hairs curl back under the skin. Avoid ingrown hair by exfoliating daily and using a glycolic acid body lotion.
9. If you have a chronic case of ingrown hairs, try Tend Skin, an over-the-counter lotion for ingrown hairs, applying it in the morning and at night. The bumps should disappear within a couple days.
10. Consider opting for waxing, at least on your legs. You'll find that if you have coarser hair, it won't grow back as fast.
