Magic skin - Doctor Eskin! We do epilation of the bikini zone at home Epilation without irritation at home.

Shaving the bikini area is not only a tribute to fashion, when ladies of any age resort to various tricks to achieve perfect beauty in everything. The procedure is part of cosmetic care, like any other part of the body. Only the process itself is intimate, so many are confused.

Salon or home treatment?

The salons will offer quite a variety of ways to remove hair: photoepilation, laser application and the use of wax or a cream specially designed for this purpose. But not every woman can endure the discomfort brought by such procedures. In addition, the cost of the service is quite high. Yes, plus the risk of allergic reactions to cosmetics. Together, all factors speak in favor of the razor. The method is the most affordable, and at home - the safest possible. A variety of modern razors allows you to make a choice. The presence of several blades and the addition of a balm will ensure the smoothness of the skin.

Possible ways to shave the bikini area

  1. Photoepilation. The light flux affects the hair follicles, destroying them, which leads to hair loss. The procedure is carried out in specialized salons. The proposed course is 6 sessions, and the result lasts for several months. After this time, the bulbs are restored. Photoepilation is one of the most effective methods, but only a certain category of women can use it. The existing contraindications also limit the number of visitors to the salon.
  2. Laser epilation. The laser beam burns the hair follicle. To achieve a stable final result, a visit to the salon can take years. The consolation is that it becomes possible to get rid of hair in the bikini area forever. The procedure is really effective, but painful. In addition, as in the previous case, it has contraindications.
  3. Wax depilation. Melted wax is applied to the hairline. After the mass hardens, it is torn off with a sharp movement. The cooled wax mass pulls out hairs. Very painful and unpleasant. Professional cosmetologists recommend using this method after treating the intimate area with a machine tool, when the hairs grow back a little. The effect is calculated for about a month. You can extend the interval between treatments by using creams to stop hair growth during this period. Waxing gradually depletes the bulbs, and it will become easier to deal with vegetation. After the session, irritation appears, so you should lubricate the intimate area with aftershave gel. Wax strips work similarly, which can be used several times each.
  4. A more gentle procedure is shugaring. The technology is similar to waxing, but the starting material is sugar.
  5. Depilatory cream. Apply the product, hold in accordance with the instructions in the attached instructions and scrape off with a special spatula (included in the kit). This method is absolutely painless, but there is a minus. The effect lasts only a few days, and then all over again.
  6. A razor is a good alternative to the above methods.

How to choose a razor

The right razor is part of a successful bikini shave. If possible, buy a special machine for these purposes. The use of female machines is not recommended. They tend to dull faster, because razors for girls have a different purpose and are designed for more delicate hair.

Reusable machines for men fit perfectly. They are "mobile", will process even hard-to-reach places. Their blades shave the skin, providing a smooth surface.

The pubic areas can be perfectly processed by a trimmer - a machine with special nozzles that allow you to make an intimate hairstyle. The use of this device minimizes the risk of cuts and irritations.

How to shave

In order to carry out the procedure correctly and without unforeseen consequences, such as irritation and ingrown hairs, care must be taken and a certain sequence must be observed.

  1. Steaming facilitates the epilation process itself. Choose any way. The skin in the bikini area can be steamed under running hot water or a warm compress. This will take about 10 minutes.
  2. Apply a special shaving cream to the entire area, only after that proceed directly to the epilation. Sometimes the skin of such a place is hypersensitive, then the use of any oil that does not contain chemical additives is recommended. Try to shave as gently as possible, without sudden movements and pressure, as the skin is easily injured.
  3. If a cut still occurs or you feel a burning sensation, rinse the problem area with water. Reschedule the procedure for another day, as irritated skin should not be shaved.
  4. After finishing, treat the skin with an aftershave. When there is a predisposition to allergies, sprinkle with talcum powder, baby powder, or make a compress from herbal decoction.

Tune in psychologically. Having prepared cosmetics with the tool, follow the following important recommendations so that the procedure is painless:

  1. Remember that rushing means hurting yourself. Otherwise, a poor-quality result will be followed by unpleasant redness and itching.
  2. Use cosmetic gels, it is better to treat an intimate place with products for sensitive skin. You can't dry shave.
  3. Move the razor in the direction of the hairline. This technique will avoid irritation in the bikini area. After epilation, wash and dry the machine.
  4. Pre-cut the hair of a delicate place with scissors to 5 mm. This will speed up the shaving process and protect the razor from excessive clogging.
  5. To avoid irritation, try to change the blades on the machine if the device allows it.

And one more piece of advice. An intimate place will react negatively if you use cosmetics that contain menthol, lemon balm or mint.

Here the opinions are so contradictory that there is no point in arguing. Women don't look alike. One is particularly modest, the other defiantly relaxed. The methods of shaving the intimate area correspond to the character of each individuality. It can be a complete haircut and shave, and some, not embarrassed by their naughty details, prefer to have a small masterpiece of fine art. In salon conditions, you are guaranteed a high-quality result, and a professional master will offer options for intimate haircuts and perform every step flawlessly.

If, due to embarrassment or other circumstances, you decide to create a bikini design yourself, decide on the look:

  • complete epilation;
  • drawing based on a triangle of various sizes;
  • a rectangular shape and a picture in this area;
  • the decorative version includes bizarre images with various elements and coloring.

First, prepare a mirror and make a stencil of the desired picture. Treat the bikini area with an antiseptic and apply a drawing using a cosmetic pencil. Remove hair around the contour with a razor or trimmer - this is the easiest way. But if you wish, you can carry out wax depilation. Adjust the borders of the remaining hairs with tweezers. Finally, go over the picture with nail scissors, leaving the desired length.

Cutting your own haircut will take more time and effort, but is offset by the money savings and comforts of home.

Folk remedies for irritation after hair removal

Even if you performed the hair removal procedure correctly, there is a chance that irritation will manifest itself. To solve the problem, use folk recipes.

  1. First of all, after shaving, pick up cotton underwear, as synthetics will only aggravate the situation.
  2. A decoction of chamomile officinalis will relieve redness and itching. You can make baths from the solution or apply warm compresses.
  3. Problematic skin will be helped by a baby cream that will quickly remove redness.

It is not surprising that for all women the bikini area is an exciting topic both during the beach season and in everyday life. Try to relax, feel the relevance of all of the above. This will help you become more confident, and therefore more attractive.

Want to try Brazilian wax but don't want a stranger dripping hot wax in "this place"? If you shave carefully, you can achieve the same effect. And shaving is less painful. Here are instructions on how to become a pro and shave your bikini area completely, safely and easily.

Steps

Part 1

Shaving in front

    Decide what your pubis should look like. Choose the option in which you will feel as feminine and sexy as possible. You have several options:

    • Shave it all. If you completely shave off your pubic hair, you will do absolutely no harm to your health. The main thing is not to cut yourself.
    • use stencil. You will place a stencil, for example, in the shape of a heart, on your pubic area. You will then shave off all the hair around the stencil, leaving the heart-shaped pubic hair. Stencils can be purchased at most adult stores or purchased online.
    • Create a runway. This is the hairline that runs from the labia to the navel, which you can make thick (good for thick, unruly hair) or thin (for thin, sparse hair).
  1. Trim your pubic hair with scissors before taking a shower. You need to leave 6 mm. Your razor may have gel or more blades than your child can count, but you still need to be careful with it.

    • To cut your hair in the most efficient way, take a small section of hair and cut it off. It is not necessary to cut straight, the main thing is that they are short.
    • If the mere thought of bringing scissors... there... makes you feel hot, use electric trimmers, which don't have spinning blades. Rotary blade trimmers can cut skin.
  2. Take a shower and moisturize your hair. You can even soak in the bath for a while before you start shaving. If you soften the follicles, then the hair will be easier to shave off the first time. If you're going to wash your bikini area, do so before you shave to avoid irritating exposed areas later.

    • If there is no shower nearby (perhaps you are on a desert island), take a damp towel and place it on your bikini area for 5-10 minutes. The effect will be the same.
  3. Get rid of dead cells. You will surely meet people who will tell you that it is imperative to follow the order - first apply the foam, shave, and only then do the peeling. But if you want to become a pro at shaving your pubis (and who doesn’t?!), then you should know that you need to clean your skin before and after. Thanks to the peeling, the hair will “lie down” in one direction, which will greatly facilitate the shaving process. Exfoliation will also remove excess dead cells, making for an even smoother shave.

    • Use a regular hard washcloth or sponge for the bikini area. Take a sponge and swipe it over the desired area - do everything the same as usual!
  4. Wet your bikini area with warm water and apply shaving gel. This is a prerequisite. Never shave your bikini area without lubrication. If you do not use shaving cream, then do not be surprised by severe irritation, sores and swelling.

    • It is best to use an unscented shaving cream specifically for the bikini area. If you have sensitive skin, test on a small area before applying. Sometimes people have allergic reactions.
      • Buy clear, non-foamy shower gel so you can see what you're doing as you shave.
  5. Lightly wet your new razor. The more blades, the better - the fewer blades (and the older it is), the more times you will need to shave (not counting the time to reapply shaving cream). For best results, buy one of the trendy razors.

    • If you take good care of your razor, then it can be reused. When you're done, wash it, but don't leave it wet - water destroys the metal, oxidizing and dulling it.
  6. Shave with long, slow strokes in the direction of hair growth. Place your hand on your stomach, just above your pubis, to make sure your skin above your pubis is smooth and taut.

    • When shaving, let the blade work. Avoid pressing on the skin. Try to minimize the movement of the razor, each new movement also removes the surface of the skin.
    • If you have thick, curly hair and don't have much time to shave, try using an electric razor to cut even more before using a regular razor for the finishing touches.
    • Rinse your razor in between if it becomes clogged with hair.

    Part 2

    Shaving between thighs
    1. Bend at the waist and lift the first leg. Try starting on the opposite side of your dominant hand (for example, if you're right-handed, start on the left side). In general, this side is much easier and faster to shave. If you bend down, it will help you see the area better. Place your raised leg on the edge of the tub or on the sink if necessary.

      • The process of peeling the skin for this area is no different from what is described above. However, there is much less chance of cuts and ingrown hairs, so the hardest part is over.
    2. Wet the desired area of ​​skin and apply shaving gel. Be careful not to get any gel or other shower products between your lips. If you feel that the gel is washed off with water, you will need to reapply it.

    3. Shave with smooth, horizontal strokes from outside to inside. For example, if you shave on the left side, then shave from left to right. Use light touch. Stop before the end of the lip in the center. Rinse off any remaining gel when you finish shaving the first side.

      • You may want to open your legs so that the skin is taut and taut when you shave, so you don't have to work on folded and wrinkled skin.
      • Following this technique, shave the opposite side of the labia.

    Part 3

    Prevention of irritation
    1. Exfoliate again. You're probably thinking, "Again?" Yes. Again! Repeated exfoliation helps get rid of the dead cells that your razor has stirred up and realigns the follicles, preventing ingrown hairs (worst of all).

      • In this case, a sugar scrub can work wonders. If you don't have it in your bathroom, make a baking soda paste to make your skin soft to the touch. This is how you get top notch results.
    2. Dry your bikini area with a soft towel. Don't rub your bikini area too hard, especially if you have sensitive skin. Otherwise, irritation may occur.

      • If you notice any remaining hairs, take the tweezers and finish the job. Sometimes you can spend almost hours shaving, but still end up missing a few hairs.
    3. Use something without fragrances, as they can irritate freshly shaved skin. Aloe vera or baby oil are standard remedies, and both are very good.

      • Also avoid dyes. If you use lotion, buy the simplest one. If you want, you can perfume the shaved area with something later.
    4. If you're afraid to shave your entire bikini area, then try shaving your bikini line first.
    5. Tight underwear or trousers can cause irritation after shaving, while cotton underwear and loose trousers can help avoid rubbing with swelling and ingrown hairs.
    6. Apply coconut or olive oil to your bikini area for about half an hour before showering. This will make your hair softer and easier to shave.
    7. Always shave in the shower, not dry. If you can't shower, place a wet towel over your bikini area for 5 minutes before shaving.
    8. Try using coconut oil and a couple of drops of tea tree oil. Coconut oil moisturizes, while tea tree oil prevents the irritation and puffiness that usually occurs after shaving.
    9. You may feel itchy as the hair grows back. But itching can be prevented by using a new razor and shaving your bikini area with smooth, slow strokes. Fortunately, after a few times the itching will go away.
    10. Pay attention to the red swelling that will appear in the next few days after shaving. You can apply a special ointment to eliminate swelling in the bikini area. Look for such an ointment in pharmacies or supermarkets.
    11. Aloe vera gel is a great shaving product. It also helps relieve irritation and soothe itching after shaving.
    12. Many people believe that baby powder leads to ovarian cancer. So better refrain from using it.
    13. Before shaving, trim your hair with a trimmer, then shaving will be less painful and take much less time.
    14. Don't shave the same spot over and over again! This can lead to ingrown hairs, which is painful and ugly!

    Pros and cons of the procedure

    It is endless to argue about the advantages and disadvantages of shaving your groin. Supporters of the procedure emphasize the aesthetics and neatness of the bikini, as well as the absence of soil for the development of bacteria that cause unpleasant odors.

    Opponents of classic shaving are afraid of cuts, ingrown hairs and other irritations. However, all troubles can be avoided if you follow the recommendations and safety rules.

    Choosing a razor for the intimate area

    For depilation, only a female razor is suitable. It is designed in such a way that it follows the contours of the body, which means it interacts better with the skin and removes hairs efficiently.

    The well-known company Wit produces safe machines suitable even for delicate skin in the intimate part. They have 3 blades at once and an additional gel pad, so you do not need to go over the same place several times, increasing the risk of cuts or irritation.

    Dull blades will not allow you to achieve perfectly smooth skin and will lead to ingrown hairs.

    How to shave your intimate area

    There are many articles and instructions on how to shave in the intimate area without irritation. All of them begin with the recommendation to steam the skin. This can be done with a hot bath or shower. The procedure not only reduces pain during depilation, but also prevents unpleasant inflammation in the intimate area.

    Some women are limited to cloth napkins soaked in herbal decoction. You can use a scrub to remove dead skin cells and reduce the chance of ingrown hairs. It takes no more than 10 minutes to prepare the skin of the intimate area.

    In order for the razor for bikini and other areas to serve as long as possible, you should carefully trim the hairs with scissors or a special trimmer.

    Effective shaving without irritation

    To successfully remove unwanted pubic hair, you need to epilate the pubis and labia. To begin with, a special gel or hypoallergenic soap is applied to any area of ​​the skin. They ensure perfect contact of the blades with the skin, reducing the risk of inflammation.

    Before properly shaving intimate areas, gently stretch the skin in the treatment area, as the soft and relaxed surface is easily injured. Do not expect a decent result, ignoring this action.

    The process of hair removal begins with pubic hair, gently shave in the direction of their growth. You don't have to go to the same place many times. This will increase the chance of cuts. The resulting damage should be immediately treated with hydrogen peroxide.

    Hair growth depilation prevents ingrown hairs. However, for a clean-shaven intimate area, you will have to repeat shaving in the opposite direction. For girls with too sensitive skin, it is better to move from left to right.

    It can be difficult to check if there are hairs left on the labia. This can be done with a mirror and by touch.

    At the end of the epilation, thoroughly rinse the treated area, removing the remnants of hair and auxiliary products. Shaved skin should be dried and lubricated with soothing agents or creams after depilation.

    Remember to clean under running water and then dry the razor before storing it on the shelf.

    Act carefully and follow simple rules, then irritation after in the intimate area does not threaten you.

    Prevention of redness and skin irritation

    As a rule, irritation occurs due to 4 basic reasons.

    1. Too often to shave the intimate area.
    2. Depilation for dry skin.
    3. Refusal to use additional funds.
    4. Increased sensitivity.

    You do not need to shave the intimate area daily, and during the procedure do not drive the machine over dry skin, moisten it regularly.

    Use quality products designed specifically for personal hygiene. Pay attention to their composition, there should not be menthol, alcohol and fragrances. Of course, the blades must be sharp.

    Chamomile decoction treatment will help relieve irritation and soothe sensitive skin. The main thing is that there is no allergy to the flower itself.

    1. Do not start shaving immediately after waking up, because during the night fluid accumulates in the body, and the person swells slightly by morning.
    2. It is necessary to allocate a separate machine or at least a replaceable blade for the bikini area.
    3. Disposable razors are too simple and do not provide complete protection against irritation.
    4. If small red dots appear on the skin, then they are smeared with diaper rash cream.
    5. Haircuts in the groin are considered fashionable, so if you don’t want to completely remove hair, you can leave a neat triangle.
    6. You can’t shave every day, the skin needs to rest and recover.
    7. For the convenience of the procedure, you can use a small mirror.
    8. The desire to scratch the inflamed area should be suppressed, any mechanical movements will only worsen the situation.
    9. Between uses, store the razor separately from other personal care products.
    10. Too much itching can indicate an infection, so it's best to see a doctor.

    Contraindications

    Classical shaving has the smallest list of contraindications among all methods for removing excess vegetation, namely:

    • violations of the integrity of the skin, since the razor can infect the wound and worsen the situation;
    • poor blood clotting, because any cut threatens with serious consequences.

    It is worth noting that pregnancy is a contraindication for many depilatory products, but in this position, even women who are expecting a baby can safely use a razor.

    Other methods of depilation of an intimate place

    Classic shaving is not the only way to remove unwanted hair in the bikini area. Beauty parlors offer various hardware methods of depilation, for example, using a laser. Stores sell epilators or creams. Finally, you can buy or make your own sugaring paste.

    A suitable method is selected based on personal characteristics, financial capabilities, pain threshold and contraindications.


    Frequently asked Questions

    How to shave your intimate area for the first time?

    During puberty, pubic hair begins to grow actively and becomes coarser, so as not to spoil the razor, it is recommended to carefully shorten them. There is no need to rush to shave the bikini area faster, because in the absence of experience it is easy to get hurt. Do not forget about the preparatory stage, which includes steaming the skin. And the depilation itself for the first and subsequent times takes place according to the same scheme.

    Before shaving a woman's groin, it is important to assume a comfortable position that allows access to all areas. To simplify depilation, you can use a mirror.

    What is the best depilatory gel?

    There are special women's products on sale, for example, Vit gels and foams. They differ from men's options in a reduced content of fragrances and a pleasant aroma.

    High-quality gel will ensure a good glide of the razor even on coarse hair.

    How often should you shave your intimate area?

    To avoid irritation, do not shave every day, even if the first stubble appears in a day - the skin should recover. In addition, the follicles must grow a little so that the blades do not scratch the skin.

    Allergy after shaving in the intimate area?

    Irritation of the pubis after shaving and other allergic reactions can occur in two cases.

    1. Often, due to improper shaving, red pimples form on the skin, which itch terribly. Their number can only be reduced by depilation in accordance with all the rules and the use of soothing lotions.
    2. Some women are allergic to shaving products, so before applying the gel or foam to the intimate area, check the reaction on another part of the body.

    After shaving, the pubis itches, why and how to avoid it?

    Usually, the skin begins to itch if it has a lot of ingrown hairs that occur due to dull blades or too much pressure on the machine.

    Separately, I would like to point out two more reasons for the appearance of itching in the groin associated with improper skin care after the procedure: discomfort is possible when using alcohol-containing lotions and when rubbing the treated area with a washcloth is too active.

    Currently, it is customary to get rid of unwanted vegetation not only in the armpits and on the legs, but also in the intimate area. Smooth skin looks more aesthetically pleasing than thick hair, which also often causes discomfort. Many girls, even having tried modern methods of depilation in the form of shugaring and waxing, return to standard shaving. This is a proven, painless way to remove hair on any part of the body, including the bikini area. To avoid irritation that is often associated with shaving delicate areas, it is important to know and follow the procedure and subsequent care of the treated skin.

    If everything is clear with depilation of the armpits (it is currently impossible to imagine a girl with thick hair in the armpits), then the situation with the bikini area is not so clear. Is it worth it to succumb to fashion trends and completely shave the hairs in intimate places, or does it make sense to leave the hairline in delicate areas?

    Supporters of natural beauty argue that hair is provided by nature and is designed to protect organs from the penetration of dangerous infections. Others say that these same bacteria and viruses, lingering in the hair, create a favorable environment for the reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms and the development of diseases. Therefore, shaving intimate areas is a necessary hygienic measure for a woman.

    As usual, the truth must be found somewhere in the middle. Deep depilation, affecting all areas of the bikini, is not always justified: the procedure is not only difficult to perform, but also leaves the intimate surface really without natural protection against bacteria and viruses. But the removal of vegetation completely in the pubic area or exclusively along the panty line so that the hairs do not protrude from under the underwear is an understandable aesthetic measure that does not interfere with the proper functioning of the intimate organs.

    Some girls shave off the vegetation on the surface of the pubis not completely, but leaving a thin strip of short hairs. This type of bikini waxing is called French. In addition to the strip, you can perform any other intimate haircut.

    Which machine is suitable for depilation of intimate areas

    Before proceeding with the procedure for shaving hairs in intimate places, it is important to choose the right tool for this type of depilation - a machine. It depends on this to a greater extent whether the procedure will be as safe as possible: without cuts, as well as subsequent irritations and inflammations. It is important that only you use the purchased machine (for hygienic reasons).

    For hair removal in the delicate bikini area, do not use disposable machines that have a stationary head. The blades used in such tools are not of high quality. To perform the procedure qualitatively, take a special razor designed for women and having a floating head. This will ensure easy shaving of hairs on the uneven relief of the intimate area. A protective strip on reusable machines will make the session more comfortable and safer.

    Use razors with at least 3-4 blades. With the help of such machines, hairs can be quickly removed without the need to repeatedly run the tool over the same area, which is often the cause of irritation on delicate skin.

    Currently, a large number of razors are presented, which differ in cost and ergonomics. Below, in ascending order of price, are the most popular and well-established women's machines, used, among other things, for depilation of the intimate area.

    Table: women's razors

    In addition, for a comfortable shave, it is important to purchase a quality gel, and not use ordinary soap, which does not protect the skin from cuts and irritation. A special tool will make the hairs softer and more pliable, guaranteeing easy sliding of the blades over the surface.

    A proven tool is Satin Care gel, which is ideal for depilation of delicate areas. It simultaneously softens, moisturizes and cools the skin, nourishing it with beneficial vitamins and oils. This is a very affordable tool - the price of one package starts from 200 rubles.

    How to shave your bikini area without unwanted consequences

    To shave intimate areas without the risk of irritation and inflammation, it is important not only to choose the right razor and gel for soft glide blades. The technique used is no less significant: running the razor across the skin in any direction will make the procedure unsafe and reduce the quality of the result. There is a proven technique for properly shaving hairs, which must be followed.

    However, first you need to prepare the intimate surface for the upcoming procedure, for which you need to perform the following steps:

    1. The day before the planned procedure, scrub the skin in the bikini area - this will help remove the stratum corneum so that the hairs are shaved as close to the roots as possible.
    2. If the hairs in the bikini area are too long, then cut them with scissors with rounded ends to 5–7 mm.
    3. To steam the skin, take a warm shower (10-15 minutes is enough) or use warm compresses soaked in herbal solution. As a result of the procedure, coarse hairs will soften, and it will be easier to remove them with a razor.

    The procedure will pass without cuts, redness and irritation, as well as the risk of ingrown hairs in the future, if you follow the shaving technique:

    1. Wet your bikini area with warm water and apply a shaving gel.
    2. Lather the composition and wait until the composition is absorbed into the skin and softens the hairs - 5 minutes is enough.
    3. Run your razor under running water or dip it in a bowl of warm water to improve gliding.
    4. Pull the skin a little with one hand, and run the machine with the other. Perform movements in sequence: first along the hairline to avoid ingrown hairs, and then in the opposite direction for the smoothest possible skin.
    5. Rinse your blades from time to time to keep hairs from collecting between them.
    6. Add the required amount of gel as needed to treat the entire bikini area.

    Shaving movements should be as smooth and soft as possible. Avoid applying excessive pressure or running the razor over the same area multiple times to avoid cuts. If you are still injured, then immediately treat the damaged area with Chlorhexidine or hydrogen peroxide.

    Once you have finished the procedure, take care of the proper care of the treated surface. This will minimize the risk of irritation and redness. Do the following first:

    1. Rinse your intimate area with warm water and gently pat the areas dry with a towel.
    2. Treat the skin with an antibacterial agent - Chlorhexidine, Miramistin or hydrogen peroxide will do.
    3. Apply a soothing moisturizer to smooth skin.
    • Do not rush to dress immediately after the procedure - allow the skin to rest for 10 minutes.
    • Do not rub or massage the treated areas for 2 days after depilation, and do not use alcohol-based surface treatment lotions before and after the procedure.
    • After 2 days, perform a deep cleansing of the bikini skin using peeling. In the future, exfoliate at intervals of 2 days to prevent the risk of ingrown hairs.
    • For the next 3 days after the procedure, avoid wearing underwear made of synthetic materials and tight to the body.
    • Do not start shaving if there are pimples and other inflammatory manifestations on intimate areas, as well as skin lesions.

    Choose the evening time for depilation so that the skin can fully recover throughout the night.

    In addition, do not expose delicate skin to daily depilation. Allow the surface to recover after shaving for 2-3 days. It is better to proceed to the next procedure when the hairs grow back a little, otherwise the skin will react with the appearance of red dots, irritation and itching.

    How to deal with irritation in the intimate area after shaving

    If irritation occurs, it is important to immediately treat the skin with special means, otherwise the likelihood of an inflammatory process developing is high. The aggravation of the situation is evidenced by the appearance of small pimples, increased sensitivity of the surface and the occurrence of itching. In this case, you should postpone the next procedure for shaving the hairs and do the correct treatment.

    Cosmetic and pharmacy formulations

    With a slight redness, you should lubricate the treated areas daily with the following cosmetics:

    1. Floresan cream. Not only promotes skin regeneration, but also slows down the appearance of new hairs with regular use.
    2. Klorane cream. It has a pronounced moisturizing effect on the delicate surface, reducing irritation and itching.
    3. Cream-gel Velvet. Quickly eliminates irritation in very sensitive areas, disinfecting the skin.
    4. Gel GreenMama. Thanks to the inclusion of arnica and aloe in the form of extracts, it reduces the intensity of discomfort after a shave session and accelerates skin healing.

    Creams, ointments or gels should be applied until the bikini surface is completely healed.

    In case of increased irritation and the appearance of pronounced pimples, it is necessary to use antiseptic pharmaceutical preparations, since conventional cosmetics are no longer enough. The most popular are:

    1. Salicylic ointment. It helps to soften the dense layer of the skin, preventing increased inflammation and ingrown hairs. It is necessary to use the ointment with caution, since allergic manifestations may appear in the form of itching or a slight burning sensation. Used daily to treat damaged areas.
    2. Zinc ointment. An inexpensive pharmacy remedy that dries up inflamed areas. Helps to quickly relieve burning sensation and reduce itching. Distributed on problem skin several times a day (no more than 3 times).
    3. Cream Bepanthen. Helps reduce inflammation by disinfecting and softening the surface. Apply in the morning and evening hours daily in an even layer.
    4. Cream Vagisil. It is a product with herbal ingredients, which is designed to moisturize the skin after each depilation procedure.
    5. Cream Boro Plus. Suitable for use on sensitive areas: it has a pronounced healing effect due to the content of natural ingredients. It is better to use it in the evening and leave it on the surface all night, because the cream has a greasy texture.
    6. Gel Traumeel S. It is used for severe inflammation, as well as in the presence of edema. Apply to irritated areas about 3 times a day.

    Remember that before applying cosmetic or pharmacy products, you need to cleanse the skin.

    Folk ways

    As an addition to ready-made products that you can buy at a pharmacy or cosmetic stores, try applying herbal compresses. They will help to quickly cope with inflammation, red dots and itching.

    To prepare an herbal compress, use the popular recipe:

    1. Place dried herbs of sage, chamomile, mint and celandine in a small container (it is enough to prepare 1 teaspoon of each ingredient).
    2. Pour the herbal mixture with water in the amount of 1 cup and put on a small fire.
    3. Boil for about 6-8 minutes.
    4. Cool and filter the prepared broth.
    5. To treat irritated areas, take a soft towel that needs to be moistened with liquid.
    6. After 15 minutes, simply pat your skin dry with a dry towel.
    7. Conduct sessions for at least 5 days in a row.

    To treat inflamed areas, you can prepare a regular chamomile decoction by pouring 2 tablespoons of dried flowers with 1 cup of boiling water.

    Parsley infusion, which is prepared according to this recipe, has a strong antibacterial effect:

    1. Pre-cut a small amount of parsley so that you get 1 tablespoon of chopped leaves.
    2. Pour the prepared parsley with a small amount of boiling water (1 cup is enough) and wait 25-30 minutes.
    3. Strain the resulting infusion.
    4. Dip a napkin into the liquid, which must then be applied to the inflamed area.
    5. Leave the compress on for 10-15 minutes.
    6. For the best effect, carry out the procedure at least 2 times a day.

    For healing and antiseptic treatment of the intimate surface, aloe is also used, which can be found in almost any home. If this healing plant does not grow on your windowsill, then you can purchase aloe juice at the pharmacy and treat problem areas with it daily. The leaf must be cut in half and applied to the skin with the fleshy part for 10-15 minutes.

    If you notice that the skin after shaving is very dry, then you can prepare a moisturizing composition with sour cream:

    1. Prepare a mixture of 1 teaspoon of thick sour cream and olive oil in the amount of 0.5 teaspoon.
    2. After thoroughly mixing the resulting composition, spread evenly over the skin in the intimate area.
    3. Wait about 10 minutes.
    4. Use a dry cloth to remove any remaining mixture.

    Of the essential oils for relieving inflammation, tea tree essential oil is best suited. Just do not use it separately - before applying, be sure to mix the essential composition in the amount of 2 drops with a tablespoon of base oil (olive, almond or other). Wipe the irritated areas with the resulting mixture every day.

    Use folk remedies regularly until the surface is completely restored. The time it takes for tender areas to heal depends on many factors: shaving technique, proper care and individual characteristics. A slight redness passes quite quickly - about a day. If unpleasant symptoms persist or worsen for a longer time, consult a professional (preferably a dermatologist).
