Waxing the Bikini Line: How to Get the Best Results

• Good hot waxes melt just above body temperature so they can be easily spread thinly over the skin. As they harden they trap the hair in the wax so it is removed by the roots when the wax is ripped off.

• Cold waxes are available in precoated strips which can be pressed directly onto the skin. The hair sticks to the wax and is then removed with the quick pull back action. (Cold waxing is also known as Persian waxing)

• As dead skin cells are removed in this process the skin can feel quite smooth afterwards. The waxing action does cause the skin to sting and many find a soothing skin healing cream to be helpful afterwards, especially in a sensitive area like the bikini line.

• Some persons find the skin reacts with redness and bumps which disappear after a few hours.

• Some physicians do not recommend waxing for persons suffering from diabetes or who have poor circulation as they are more susceptible to infection.

• It is wise to test a small area first. If there is no adverse reaction the proceed with the rest of the bikini line area.

• To avoid the skin appearing darker after waxing, be careful not to expose the treated area to the sun for 48 hours after treatment. Alternatively use a good sun blocker cream on newly treated areas.

• Hair should be at least 1/8 inch long. If it isn't wait until it reaches this length.

• Be sure to wash the skin thoroughly and dry it well beforehand to remove any lotions or oils which may prevent the wax from adhering closely to the skin.

• Heat the wax carefully so as not to overheat and thus burn the skin when applying. Test on a small area first. The consistency should be soft rather than runny.

• If pain and discomfort is a main concern use a pain reducing gel or anesthetic numbing spray available from pharmacists. These solutions should be applied 30 to 60 minutes before waxing so the skin is numbed beforehand.

• Apply a thin layer of wax in the direction of the hair growth, preferably holding the spatula or tongue depresser at a 45 degree angle as you spread the wax.

• When applying the cotton strip over the wax, rub in the same direction as the hair growth leaving about 1/3 of the strip free to allow for a firm grip for a fast back pulling action.

• Pull the skin taut before pulling the cotton strip away.

• Pull back with a rapid movement close to the skin. Do not pull up or out, rather pull back.

• One fast, smooth, pull back is much more effective than a series of light pulls which only increase the pain and leave patchy areas.

• Clean the skin with a warm moist towel afterwards to remove excess wax.

• Avoid showering and making the hair wet prior to waxing. Hair absorbs the water making it soft and less likely to adhere well to the wax. Tough hair is easier to pull off.

• Avoid wearing tight underwear over freshly waxed areas to minimize the risk of irritation and ingrown hairs.

• After 24-48 hours exfoliate the skin (with a Loofa sponge for example) to prevent the dead skin from accumulating in areas that can become ingrown such as the bikini line.
