Not to mention the embarrassment many of us feel to have our intimate area exposed to the attendant.
So to save yourself money and the awkwardness, DIY bikini wax is the perfect solution. Bikini waxing at home is easy if you are patient. Read on to know more about how to do bikini wax at home.
What do you need for bikini waxing at home?
For a bikini wax at home, you will need to buy a waxing kit. There are a variety of waxing kits available in the market. However, Veet Cold Wax Strips is one of the easiest and safe ways for bikini waxing at home. You will need these things other than the waxing kit:
- Pre-wax cleanser
- Pre-epilation oil
- Aloe-based gel
- Towel
Prepare yourself for Bikini waxing
Before you start bikini waxing, make sure the hairs are grown at least a quarter-inch long to grab and pull the hair off effectively. Use the clippers and trim the hair in your private area if they have grown longer than one-half inch.
Once you have your hair at the right length, exfoliate and cleanse the area thoroughly before you start with bikini waxing. Pat-dry the area and apply talcum powder on the area to be waxed. The powder will help the strips only grip the hairs and not your skin. Also, it will soak any moisture present on your skin for a smoother waxing experience.
Bikini Waxing Steps: How to do it Yourself
It’s time to get started with bikini waxing at home!
- Remove the cold wax strips from the packet
- Next, peel off and apply the wax strips on the desired area and press the wax along the direction of hair growth
- Hold your skin taut and pull away from the wax strip against the direction of your hair growth
- Repeat the process until the skin is soft and clean
- Apply after-wax lotion or aloe-based gel to soothe the burning sensation
A quick tip to make bikini wax at home more comfortable and less messy
Find a comfortable space and lay a towel on the floor to keep the mess to a minimum. It might feel tricky but sit in front of a mirror so you can see if you are doing the process correctly.
Bikini waxing may not get every hair the first time but try to avoid waxing the same area twice during the session. Remove the leftover hair with the help of tweezers. After bikini waxing, wipe the area with one of the finishing wipes that you get with Veet’s Ready-to-use cold wax strips. Bikini waxing at home is always better than professional waxing if done correctly!
