Bikini Waxing

A very popular method for ridding hair for up to six weeks using a resin-wax. A popular service found at salons and spas everywhere with many bikini waxing styles to choose from- a clean up to getting it all removed and everything in-between. While waxing your own bikini line (the hair outside a regular panty line) can be done at home, anything more than that requires making a professional appointment.

There are two types of sugaring: paste and a gel. Both types are made with natural ingredients like lemon juice, sugar and water leaving you hair-free for up to six weeks. Many people favor sugaring over waxing because it’s less painful and gentler to the skin. All big pluses for the bikini zone!

The same principle applies here as waxing. You can clean up your bikini line, but more extreme styles need an appointment with the pros. Make your own product for less than $2 (get recipe) and use it as a paste (read instructions) or heat it up in the microwave and use it as a gel (read instructions).

Depilatories (Hair Removal Creams)

A strong alkaline product breaks down hair so that it can be easily wiped off. A little bit better than shaving because it doesn’t usually create as sharp of a tip like when using a razor. Results will only last you for a couple days at the most. Just be careful because hair removal creams contain harsh chemicals and can burn your skin, especially the delicate bikini zone. Not all depilatories can be used down below, so be sure to read the label.

Try a product made especially for the bikini area, like Ready Betty (read review).
