Bikini Shaving Tips

Now that you already have your revealing new swimsuit picked out, it is time to go over a few bikini shaving tips to help you look your best. Shaving this sensitive area takes a lot more care than shaving other areas like your legs. To ensure a safe, smooth shave, it is best to take your time and use the highest quality aides to help you.

The first thing you should find is a good shaving cream or gel that is made for this particularly delicate area. Not only will these help lubricate your skin, but they will soften the hair making it easier to shave. These products offer added moisturizing to the bikini area which will help cut down on irritation and those dreaded razor bumps. Once you have the right bikini shaving cream, the next step is a really good razor. It is not recommended to use cheap, disposable razors for a job this important. A razor with a swivel head and multiple blades will mean a close and comfortable shave.

Now that you have all the right tools for the job, you are ready to get started. You may find this task easier in the shower versus in the bath as it is easier to prop up your legs on the bench or shower/tub wall. Start with nice, warm water and gently exfoliate the area to be shaved. This will help remove dead skin cells and give you a smoother shave. Once you are ready, apply your shave cream or gel working it in evenly to lift hair helping to get a closer shave.

Shave first going in the same direction as the hair, and then once in the opposite direction as well. It’s crucial to rinse your razor between passes to help cut down on drag. Try not to go over the same area more than twice as this will increase the likelihood of irritation.

Once you are finished shaving, gently pat yourself dry and apply a light, fragrance-free moisturizer to the area. With regular shaving, you should be able to maintain a clean, smooth look all year round!
