Get Ready for Bikini Season - Carlton Institute

June 28, 2012 - PRLog -- As bikini season is here, millions of women around the country are having bikini waxing.
Bikini waxing is less damaging to skin in comparison to other temporary hair removal techniques such as depilatory creams and shaving. Shaving can damage your skin in the form of cuts and shaving burns which can be painful as your bikini region is very sensitive.

Skin damage that comes with using hair removal creams can be in the form of pigmentation or skin that smells bad. Today many good salons and estheticians use hundred percent natural waxes to reduce chances of inflaming skin with harsh chemicals.

Before getting into the details of giving yourself a bikini wax, you need to know the difference between a bikini wax and a Brazilian wax. While getting a bikini wax, you remove the parts of hair that might show if you're wearing tiny underwear. When getting a Brazilian wax, you get rid of all the hair.

Generally, hair should be about one-quarter-inch long to be effectively grabbed by the wax and removed; so make sure to let your hair grow for at least a week before waxing. If your hair is fine or grows slowly, you may need to wait longer.

You shouldn’t use abrasive scrubs or go tanning for twenty-four to forty-eight hours after the wax. Once the area is no longer tender, gently exfoliate in the shower to avoid developing ingrown hairs.
