Sugaring a deep bikini for yourself at home

Hair removal has firmly taken its place among the cosmetic procedures of modern women. In pursuit of beauty, and especially smooth skin, ladies rightfully give preference to it by removing hair not only on their legs, but also using the so-called deep bikini sugaring. Moreover, cosmetology does not stand still, but offers more and more new products that spare the skin during procedures and give a long-term effect of beautiful and healthy skin.

Sugaring is an ancient procedure that came from the East, more precisely, from Egypt. In this country, it was considered shameful to have hair on the face and body, since a person was compared to a wild animal covered with thick hair. The hair was carefully removed using a thick sugar mass. The ancestor of the sugaring procedure is considered to be the Egyptian queen Nefertiti; according to rumors, the beauty of her skin was blinding.

The popularity of sugaring the deep bikini area is growing every year. Ladies began to go to resorts more often, play sports - visit the pool. This undoubtedly requires a neat appearance of the intimate area. And more and more women are doing this procedure for themselves, since it is quite possible at home. Sugaring has a number of advantages over other types of hair removal. First, the sugar paste doesn't need to be heated too much to cleanse your bikini area, so there's no risk of injury or burns. Secondly, the paste itself is environmentally friendly, which means allergic reactions on delicate skin are excluded. Thirdly, sugaring can be given peeling properties, since dead skin cells die off during sugar treatment. It turns out to be a two-in-one procedure. Skin irritation does not develop, the skin remains smooth and silky. The effect after such hair removal lasts 20–30 days, while other procedures of this type cannot boast of such an end result.

Results of the procedure

Sugaring of a deep bikini involves removing hair from the intimate area of ​​the body, including the pubic area and the perineal area. Regularly carried out procedure allows you to make hair less stiff and thick.

If you prepare the sugar paste correctly and follow all the rules for applying it, you can get perfectly smooth skin. The result of the procedure is maintained for 2–3 weeks, after which it becomes necessary to repeat it.

It is important to know! Using the sweet mixture correctly, you can avoid such an unpleasant phenomenon as ingrown hair into the skin. This makes sugaring a much more popular and safe technique than traditional hair removal or waxing.

About the procedure

Sugar hair removal is a method of removing excess hair using special caramel. According to the principle of operation, the treatment is similar to waxing, the only difference is that wax is used for waxing, and caramel is used for sugaring.

Thanks to its unique elastic consistency, the sugar paste not only envelops the hairs, but also adheres to the bulb, and during the jerking movement the composition is removed along with the root. The undoubted advantage of sugaring is that it removes hair for at least 3 weeks and also takes care of the skin.

Sugaring bikini area

Removing hair in the intimate area using sugar paste is a very convenient method that will help solve many problems.
Some young ladies, due to their inexperience, do not know which method of sugar hair removal to choose for treating the bikini area. Today, bandage and manual techniques are the most popular. Experienced cosmetologists recommend using manual sugaring techniques to remove vegetation in the intimate area.
Although this treatment takes longer and requires certain skills, it is still considered more suitable and less traumatic for sensitive bikini skin. The bandage technique has also proven itself, but is not as hygienic. When applying caramel, most masters use one common spatula, which, after applying the composition to the client’s skin, is again placed in a jar of caramel to remove the next portion. During these actions, germs and bacteria from the client's skin will fall into a jar of sugar paste, which will later be used again for processing. To protect yourself from infection, preference should be given to manual processing.

How long the deep bikini sugaring procedure takes and how often it will have to be performed depends not only on the individual characteristics of the client, but also on the experience of the specialist. Typically, pubic hairs begin to appear after 12-16 days. In the deep bikini area, hair growth appears no earlier than after 3 weeks (hair growth in this area is slow). Most likely, treatment will have to be carried out once every 4-6 weeks.

Sugar hair removal of legs

Compared to the intimate area, hair removal on the lower extremities is easier. Since the epidermis on the legs is less sensitive, girls tolerate this procedure much easier, even though it takes longer. Both manual and bandage sugaring techniques are suitable for removing hair on the legs.

Most often, the method of performing the procedure is chosen by the master himself, depending on his skills and preferences.
Most craftsmen stick to the manual method. This is due to the fact that when bandage sugaring of legs, too much paste is consumed, which makes the procedure uneconomical.
Since hairs grow a little faster on the legs, sugaring of the lower extremities will have to be done more often than in the bikini area. In most cases, stubble on the legs begins to appear after 2-3 weeks, so you will have to visit a cosmetologist every 25-30 days.

If you do sugaring regularly, after 8-10 months the hairs on the treated area will become sparser and thinner. Some girls claim that after 2-3 years of regular procedures, hair growth in the epilated area almost completely stops.

Advantages and disadvantages

Using sugar paste in the intimate area has certain pros and cons. It is important to take into account that this method has many more advantages.

The technique is popular among girls and women who do not have the means to regularly visit beauty salons. By learning how to do sugaring for yourself, you can significantly save on paying for the services of a professional cosmetologist.

Sugaring - advantages

Sugaring has a number of advantages:

1. This is a natural, safe, hypoallergenic method of hair removal.
2. Sugar is suitable for people with sensitive skin prone to irritation.
3. Sugar paste is applied to the skin not hot, but warm (37-40 degrees), which eliminates the possibility of burns.
4. After sugaring there are no bruises or bruises; it is a pleasant care procedure, after which the skin looks soft, smooth and healthy.
5. Thanks to the products used before and after the procedure, sugaring is classified as a Spa service. Some pastes may contain essential oils that act as aromatherapy during the session.

What pastes are used in the bikini area

You can prepare a product to remove hair in the intimate area in different ways, spending an average of 40 minutes on it. The following are the most popular recipes for sugar depilation pastes.

With citric acid

Mixture ingredients:

• 250 g sugar;
• 1.5 tbsp. l. citric acid;
• 2 tbsp. l. water.

The listed components are combined in a saucepan, then cooked with constant stirring over minimal heat. When the composition boils, continue to cook it, waiting until it turns light golden brown. After this, the container with the paste is removed from the stove and left to cool.

Pasta with lemon juice

Sugar and water are taken in the same quantities. Citric acid is replaced with juice squeezed from ½ ripe lemon.

The principle of cooking such a product is similar to that described above. During the preparation of the paste, it is necessary to ensure that the sugar is completely dissolved and that a white film does not appear on the surface of the product (in this case, it must be removed).

Attention! Paste prepared at home cannot be stored for a long time and is designed for one session. If you plan to do depilation manually (manual method), it should have a medium density. For hair removal using special strips (bandage technique), a softer, liquidish mass is suitable.

There is also a considerable selection of ready-made products for eliminating hair in the bikini area. Kits such as Start Epil, Aravia, Gloria and others are intended for home use.

Sugaring

How to properly prepare your skin

Preparation should begin a few days before sugaring. The hair length should be about 5–7 mm.

2 days before the procedure, it is necessary to peel the area that is to be treated with a sweet composition. This point is very important because it helps reduce pain and prevent ingrown hairs.

The day before the session, you should avoid using cosmetics that can increase irritation. Immediately before the procedure, you should take a warm shower, which opens the pores and makes it easier to remove excess hair. After this, an antiseptic (chlorhexidine, hydrogen peroxide, miramistin) is applied to dry skin and treated with talcum powder or baby powder.

How to decide on bikini sugaring

Many women are embarrassed to go for bikini hair removal and constantly put off this procedure, depriving themselves of the opportunity to enjoy smooth skin for a long time. Masters assure that when sugaring a deep bikini is done, embarrassment is a natural psychological reaction, but this is not at all a reason to refuse such treatment. If a woman does not know how to decide on sugaring a deep bikini, the following arguments will help you relax and make an appointment with a specialist:

1. An experienced specialist carries out this procedure several times a day and is already accustomed to all kinds of “types”. For a cosmetologist, hair removal in the intimate area is a job, and nothing more.
2. If you are very embarrassed, it is recommended to “get to know” the master better. First, you should epilate your armpits and arms, and during the next procedure, treat your legs. During this time, the client will be able to establish contact with the master, and bikini hair removal will not seem so scary.
3. Bikini hair removal should be treated like any other cosmetic service for which money is paid.
4. In the practice of each master, there were clients who were also afraid to perform hair removal in the intimate area, but after they went through the first session and realized how convenient and practical sugaring is, they became regular clients of beauty salons.

Sugaring techniques

There are two main ways to apply and remove sugar paste in the deep bikini area:

• manual;
• bandage

It is important for beginners to know: in many cases these techniques are combined with each other. Thanks to their combination, vegetation removal becomes more effective, and its results last as long as possible.

Manual method

Process of applying the sugar mixture (step by step):

• When starting depilation, first knead a small piece of paste well in your hand. Next, it is applied to the desired bikini area and stretched against hair growth;
• at the next stage, place the hand on the fixed layer, pry its tip with your thumb and sharply tear it off along the growth of the hair shafts;
• all indicated actions are repeated on other parts of the body that require removal of unnecessary vegetation.

After completing the procedure, the remaining paste is washed off with warm water. Ice or a cool compress is placed on the treated bikini area to relieve swelling. Next, an antiseptic and lotion are applied to slow down the appearance of new hair.

Bandage technique

When using the bandage technique, the paste is spread on the skin using a spatula. A prerequisite is to apply the sugar mixture against hair growth.

During the procedure, special strips (fabric or made of other material) are used, which are applied to the required areas of the body. After this, wait a few minutes and tear them off, making a sharp movement in the direction of hair growth.

On average, bikini sugaring is carried out once every 2 weeks. To make hairs grow less frequently and become less noticeable, the use of sugar formulations cannot be combined with traditional shaving.

Salon depilation in the intimate area

Beauty salons offer hair removal in the intimate area using the same methods that girls can use at home, but as has already been proven, professional hair removal of the bikini area is of better quality and painless.

Vasking

A popular way to get rid of unwanted vegetation not only in the intimate area. Even some discomfort during the procedure does not reduce the number of its supporters.

Salon waxing takes place in 6 stages.

1. Preparing the skin involves applying a special soothing agent, which also acts as a pain reliever.
2. Wax is applied to the intimate area in the direction of hair growth; its temperature depends on the pain threshold, hair structure and color.
3. Gradually cooling, the mass firmly grips the follicles.
4. The cosmetologist glues special tapes or paper strips onto the cooled wax.
5. With a sharp and confident movement, he tears off the wax along with the hairs. To reduce the pain, at this moment you should lightly hold the skin.
6. The epilated area is lubricated with a soothing and moisturizing cream; you can use Panthenol or aloe.

Sugaring

Bikini sugaring is an excellent alternative to waxing; even the procedure technology has many similarities, only caramel sugar is used instead of wax.

Professional mixtures, in addition to sugar, contain citric acid, essential oils and other skin-care components.

Before performing sugaring as effectively and painlessly as possible, you need to prepare the intimate area for the procedure in advance. Within two days, women begin to use a scrub that removes dead skin particles. During this period, it is advisable to abandon moisturizing lotions and creams, since for better adhesion of caramel and hair, the surface of the body must be dry.

Professional sugar hair removal in a salon is carried out in several stages.

1. The cosmetologist cleans the bikini area with a special tonic, and then degreases it with baby powder or talcum powder.
2. Caramel is carefully applied to the body exclusively against hair growth from the edges to the center (pubic area).
3. The cooled mass, just like wax, is removed with a sharp movement along the growth of the follicle. With these actions, the hair follicle is pulled out entirely, but with minimal discomfort.

When using a soft paste, a specialist can remove it with cloth strips; the hard mass can be easily removed by hand.

Chocolate hair removal

It involves the use of granules or cartridges with chocolate wax, which has a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin, making it soft and elastic. In Russia, such a service is provided by a limited number of beauty salons, since the price of the material is high and girls prefer cheaper wax or sugar.

Before going to the procedure, a woman must shave with a regular razor so that the length of the hairs does not exceed 5 ml. The process of hair removal in the bikini area follows the following scheme.

1. The cosmetologist treats the intimate area with a lotion or tonic designed to remove dirt and disinfect the skin.
2. Chocolate wax is carefully distributed over the surface of the body in small strips. The cocoa extracts and butters included in the mass soothe delicate skin, so you don’t have to worry about irritation and pain.
3. The master tears off the frozen “chocolate” with a sharp movement, doing it against the hair growth.
4. After removing the remaining wax, the master uses a chocolate soothing tonic.

Many girls have only pleasant impressions after the procedure. The aroma of chocolate calms, relieves stress and lifts your spirits.

What to do after depilation

The skin in the deep bikini area is highly sensitive. This is why after sugaring women experience natural irritation, which gradually disappears on its own. In order not to intensify it, in the first days after the procedure you should avoid exposing the treated areas to sunlight. In addition, it is recommended to temporarily abandon sports training, visiting saunas, baths, swimming pools, beaches, and solariums. It is also necessary to exclude heavy lifting and physical overload.

How to care for your skin after sugaring the deep bikini area?

Adviсe:

• Indeed, the epidermis in this area is very delicate. Therefore, it is easy to injure and damage it. To ensure that no inflammatory processes occur after the procedure, we recommend that you properly care for this area for several days.
• We do not recommend visiting the gym or swimming pool for approximately 2-3 days. This is due to the fact that during training a large amount of sweat is released, including in the lower abdomen.
• Excessive sweating in this area is completely unnecessary at the moment. Because sweat is salty and greatly irritates already damaged skin.
• Due to the fact that the skin is very sensitive to infection during the first three days, we advise you not to visit swimming pools or saunas.

Sugar hair removal
It is better to have sugaring in this area for the first time from a cosmetologist.

Basic procedures for preparing for sugaring

There are a number of procedures that must be performed before epilating any part of the body. These manipulations will reduce pain and ensure high quality hair removal.

If sugaring is carried out independently at home, it is important to correctly select and prepare the necessary means and tools. Ready-made paste can be purchased in specialized stores or made independently using sugar, citric acid and water.

The tools you will need are a cosmetic spatula for applying the paste, strips of thin fabric that are placed over the paste and removed along with the hair.

Correct hair length

The length of hair to be removed is an important element of preparation. If the regrown hairs are short, they will be poorly captured by the composition, which will lead to poor-quality hair removal. Hair that is too long will break during the procedure, which can lead to the appearance of ingrown hairs and their incomplete removal. It will also make the procedure more painful and expensive.

The most suitable hair length is considered to be 5-8 mm. If they have not had time to grow back by the day of hair removal, then the procedure should be postponed. Hair that is too long can be shortened using an electric razor with a special attachment.

Different areas of the body have different hair growth rates. To achieve the required length, you need to grow hair in the armpits for 7 days, in the bikini area - 14 days, on the lower legs - up to 21 days, on the arms and thighs - from 3 to 4 weeks.

Scrub application

To avoid the problem of ingrown hairs after hair removal, experts recommend using a scrub before sugaring. Instead of a soft scrub, you can use a hard washcloth to remove the stratum corneum and fatty film from the skin. This will ensure that the hair is completely captured by the sugar mass. The exception is the armpit and bikini areas - it is not recommended to use a scrub there.

When doing peeling, you need to be careful not to cause microcracks, since the procedure is not done on inflamed skin. Peeling should be carried out 1-2 days before hair removal. It is not advisable to use scrubs with natural particles, as they are more likely to injure the skin than artificial granules.

If a ready-made scrub is not available, you can make it yourself. To do this, a small amount of shower gel is mixed in equal proportions with an abrasive substance. Sea salt, brown sugar, and ground coffee can be used as the latter. For peeling the bikini area and face, bran or crushed oatmeal are used as abrasives. If you add aloe juice to such a crab, it will not only remove the stratum corneum, but also moisturize the skin.

Moisturizing and steaming

To facilitate the hair removal process, the skin should be steamed immediately before it. This will help open the pores, soften the skin and make the procedure easier. Pain will also be reduced due to the opening of the pores.

The skin on the hands and feet is steamed with hot water in a bath or shower. To steam the bikini area and armpit area, use a warm compress, which is applied for 10 minutes. To prepare a compress, you can use water heated to +60°C or a herbal decoction.

If you use detergents based on aloe juice when steaming your skin, this will give a moisturizing and refreshing effect. However, using fatty creams or oils for moisturizing is not recommended.

Degreasing and disinfection

Before epilation, the skin must be degreased. The body produces a natural fat layer to protect the skin. Germs, dust and dirt particles are added to this layer. During the hair removal process, if the fat layer is not removed first, these particles can cause inflammation and irritation.

The fat layer also prevents the paste from completely adhering to the hair. Because of this, some hairs may remain unremoved, which will lead to the need for a repeat procedure.

To remove the fat layer, alcohol-based cosmetics are used. Alcohol not only degreases the skin, but also disinfects it.

Due to the popularity of the procedure, many manufacturers have produced special products that, thanks to their composition, not only degrease and disinfect the skin, but also soothe and moisturize it.

Anesthesia

Epilation is an unpleasant but tolerable procedure. But in the bikini area, face and armpits, the nerve endings are located close to the skin, so when epilating these areas, the pain can be severe. To reduce pain, you can use systemic or local painkillers. Lidocaine-based sprays and creams are used for local anesthesia.

Systemic painkillers should be taken 40-50 minutes before the start of the procedure. To do this, you can use drugs based on ibuprofen or paracetamol. You must first make sure that there are no contraindications to their use.

To reduce pain, it is better to do sugaring not on your own, but by a specialist, since the cosmetologist carries out the procedure with precise and fast movements. The menstrual cycle also affects the pain threshold - immediately before or during menstruation, pain increases.

Use of talc

Talc is applied to the skin in a thin layer in the direction against hair growth. With the help of talc, the hairs are raised, which is why the sugar paste adheres to them more easily and more reliably. At the same time, it creates a barrier between the skin and the hair removal mixture, thus ensuring effective hair removal with minimal risk of skin irritation.

Talc absorbs moisture remaining on the skin, which is especially important in areas such as the face, armpits and bikini area.

Reviews

According to fans of sugaring, deciding to remove hair in the bikini area for the first time is quite difficult. In most cases, it took girls about 2 months to mentally adjust themselves and make an appointment. Almost all the young ladies who underwent the procedure assure that the first session went much better than they expected. The feeling of embarrassment goes away literally a few minutes after the master starts working. To relax and feel more comfortable, girls advise beginners to start a conversation with the master and try to “make friends” with him.

What should you not do before the procedure?

There are a number of prohibitions that must be taken into account before going for the procedure. 1-2 days before visiting a cosmetologist’s office, you need to avoid sunbathing and solarium. Exposure to ultraviolet light can cause inflammation on the skin, and skin injury will occur when hair is removed.

Immediately before the procedure, you should avoid oil-based cosmetics. They make the skin and hairs slippery, and the removal of the latter will be poor quality.

To avoid the appearance of microcracks and infection, do not use hard washcloths or brushes while taking a shower or bath.

In addition to the prohibition on certain actions before the procedure, there are general contraindications to its implementation:

• violations of the integrity of the skin due to the presence of eczema, purulent inflammation, wounds;
• presence of sexually transmitted diseases;
• diabetes;
• phlebeurysm.
