Intimate hair removal has been known to mankind for a long time. After all, even ancient women removed hair from tender places. Epilation of the most delicate places is still a tradition in some eastern states.
Of course, you can regularly visit beauty salons. But what if there is no money, no time, no desire? Intimate hair removal at home is possible. Of course, these are temporary measures, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is worth considering the most popular ways to remove unwanted hair.
1. Intimate hair removal with razors
This is probably the easiest and most famous method for every woman to remove hair from the bikini zone. All you need is a razor and shaving foam. Undoubtedly, the low cost of “tools” is an advantage. In addition, the procedure is carried out quickly (especially with some experience) and does not require any special skills.
Unfortunately, this method has several disadvantages. First, during shaving, you can remove only the upper hair often, so new processes will appear already 1 to 3 days after the procedure. Secondly, shaving hair in the bikini area is often associated with the appearance of burning, itching, redness and irritation. And, of course, you should be careful, because the likelihood of a cut is always there.
2. Intimate hair removal with cream
A special cream for hair removal can be obtained at almost any store. Such products contain special chemicals that can destroy the structure of the hair. As in the previous case, the advantage of this method is its simplicity and low cost. In addition, the procedure is painless and runs quite quickly.
But there are also disadvantages. The cream destroys only the upper part of the hair, which means that a new one appears very quickly. On the other hand, the likelihood of developing an allergy when processing intimate areas is very high - first conduct a test for sensitivity to the drug. The disadvantages include an unpleasant odor. By the way, you cannot use such a cream if you have any skin infections.
3. Intimate hair removal using an epilator
Electric epilator is in high demand among women. The device works like tweezers, but quickly plucks several hairs at a time. The advantage of this method is that with this device you can completely remove the hair, including the bulb under the skin. Over the next 1 to 3 weeks, you will enjoy smooth skin.
But on the other hand, hair removal in this way is quite painful, especially in the bikini area. Therefore, the epilator will not fit people who are too sensitive to pain. In addition, it can in no case be used to remove hairs on the inner surface of the thighs and labia - severe pain and bruising are guaranteed.
4. Intimate waxing
Waxing hair is another very popular procedure. In any store you can buy wax or ready-made strips with the agent applied to them. The principle here is quite simple - wax is applied to the skin, fixed on top with a special strip of fabric, and then torn off with a sharp movement. Hair is removed together with the hair follicle, which means that the effect of waxing lasts quite a long time - from 1 to 3 weeks.
Wax strips are not too expensive, and the process of hair removal does not take much time.
But there are several drawbacks. Since the hair breaks out along with the follicles, pain (to one degree or another) is unlikely to be avoided. Remember that it is necessary to accurately determine the temperature of the wax (if it needs to be heated in a water bath), because otherwise you can burn sensitive skin.
In addition, some experience is needed here. After all, if you break the strip too sharply, then you can easily injure the skin in the region of the external genital organs, which is fraught with the appearance of hemorrhages and even wounds. And if you do not have enough practice, then a similar procedure should still be entrusted to a master - a cosmetologist.
