Step-by-step technology of deep bikini shugaring

You can do shugaring at home for yourself in the bikini area. This area of ​​the body is very delicate and the hair is coarse, which makes it somewhat difficult to remove.

There are several types of bikini hair removal:

• classical - provides for the extraction of vegetation along the border of the underwear;

• deep - involves the removal of hair in the pubic area, on the inner thighs and on the labia;

Epilation of arms and legs

Making shugaring of the upper and lower extremities for yourself at home is quite simple. For this, a technique using stripes is suitable. The best medium for carrying out will be a medium-density caramel substance.

Step-by-step implementation of the procedure:

1. Before epilation, sit in a warm bath to expand the pores, after which the selected surface should be treated with talcum powder.
2. The prepared pasta should be thoroughly kneaded (according to the principle of kneading the dough) to give it elasticity and saturate it with air.
3. Apply the sugar mass to the desired longitudinal zone of the body in the direction against the growth of hairs.
4. Then place a fabric strip on top and after a few moments tear it off sharply, while pulling the skin.
5. On these parts of the body, you can repeat the manipulation several times, because the legs and arms are not considered a sensitive area.
6. We should also pay special attention to the shins. To prevent folds from interfering with the epilation process, before covering the sweet mixture of this area, it is advisable to bend the leg to ensure maximum contact of the caramel with the skin.
7. The final stage will be rinsing off the remnants of the paste with water, treating the skin surface with an antiseptic and then a moisturizing cosmetic.

Step-by-step technology for performing shugaring:

1. Before manipulation, you need to cleanse your face from cosmetics, steam it and dry it slightly.
2. Disinfect the selected area with chlorhexidine in order to protect open pores from bacteria.
3. Using a spatula, cover the desired area with a thin layer of paste (all at once or in stages). During application, the upper lip should be slightly pulled down so that the composition lies smoother and penetrates the epidermis.
4. Cover the composition with strips (made of fabric or paper) and press them against the material. Then wait a few moments until the caramel dries.
5. Tear off strips with adhered hairs sharply.
6. If necessary, repeat the manipulation on the treated area.
7. Finally, rinse off the remaining sugar mass with water, then disinfect the disturbed areas and apply sedatives.
8. If there are individual hairs, then it is advisable to remove them with tweezers.

One of the conditions for hair removal on the face is that the fluff is at least 5 mm, otherwise they will not be picked up by caramel paste. In the intervals between sessions, it is recommended to scrub the skin and apply a cream that stops the growth of vegetation.

Skin care after sugar depilation

• avoid excessive sweating, in particular during intense physical activity;
