Shaving

So gehst du beim Rasieren vor:

In many countries, shaving is by far the most popular method for removing hair from the intimate area and armpits. It’s quick, easy, and affordable. While manual razors can cause skin irritation and even cuts, there are electric shavers specifically designed for bikini line hair removal.

This is how you shave:
1.You should first trim long hair so you can see better where you shave.

2.It’s easier to shave during (or right after) a shower or bath.

3.When using a manual razor, make sure to apply shaving gel or foam.

4.Always shave or trim in the direction of hair growth to avoid irritation.

The Thorough Method: Epilation

If you want to try removing the hair with an epilator, you can enjoy two to three weeks of smooth skin. That’s because epilating removes the hairs with their roots.

This is how you epilate:

1.Firstly, trim longer hairs.

2.Exfoliate the area. With the Philips Satinelle Prestige you can use the exfoliator attachment.

3.Then use an epilator such theEpilator Series 8000 which has a Skin Stretcher that stretches your skin automatically. Thanks to its clever opti-light function, you can detect hairs even in tricky areas. It’s imperative that you use the attachment for sensitive body parts to avoid skin irritation.

Waxing

Waxing, like epilating, removes the hair from the root, and can be painful at times.

This is how you do your intimate waxing:

Use hard wax for intimate waxing. It’s suitable for coarse hair and protects the skin.

1.Trim your pubic hair to approximately six millimetres.

2.Heat the wax and apply some of it on the inside of your wrist. This way you can make sure that it isn’t too hot.

3.Then follow the instructions on the packaging to wax your bikini zone. Remember to pull your skin tight while pulling it off to reduce pain.

Hair Removal Cream

It sounds like a practical solution for pubic hair removal: apply a hair removal cream and remove it after a few minutes. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy. These creams contain chemicals that irritate sensitive skin and can damage the pH balance. You should always make sure that the cream doesn’t come into contact with any sensitive internal areas.

This is how you remove hair with a cream:

Read the instructions on the packaging thoroughly before using any product on an intimate area. Make sure any hair removal cream is appropriate for the bikini zone before applying.

1.Test the product on a small area in your bikini zone before applying it on a larger area. Wait 24 hours so you can be sure that there are no adverse reactions.

2.Now you can apply the cream to the outer areas and remove it as per the instructions.

3.If you are unsure about where you can use the cream, only use it where you are sure, and use a different hair removal method on the remaining, more sensitive areas.

The Long-Lasting Method: IPL

IPL delivers long-lasting hair removal for the bikini zone (and for other parts of the body as well). In fact, regular treatment makes for a significant reduction in hair growth, which means you can achieve long-lasting bikini hair removal along with silky smooth skin. This makes it one of the best bikini hair removal options, although it does require some investment.

This is how you remove hair with IPL:

With an IPL device such as the Philips Lumea Prestige, the treatment at home is very easy – just make sure you read the manual before the treatment, and never use it on sensitive areas like the inner labia, the vagin*, or the anus.

1.Get started by shaving, epilating, or waxing the body area before treatment.

2.Select the setting based on your skin tone with the SmartSkin sensor.

3.Press the precision attachment treatment window on your skin at a 90 degree angle. Wait for the ready to flash light and press the flash button.

4.Slowly slide the Lumea Prestige across the treatment area while flashing. Avoid covering the same spot twice.
