Tips for shaving bikini line

Shaving your bikini line remains a difficult job. Here you can read all the do's and don'ts.

Do:
– Use a clean and sharp blade. Preferably use a razor with a strip of 'rubber'. This forms a protective layer between the blade and the skin.
– Lubricate your bikini line with sufficient shaving foam.
– After shaving, rinse the shaving cream and hairs with cold water. Then reapply shaving cream and start shaving again.
– Exfoliate your skin twice a week to prevent ingrown hairs.

Don'ts:
– Do not wear tight and non-breathable clothing.
– Do not shave against the hair growth. You often tend to shave against hair growth, because that is the fastest method to remove all hairs. But then there is a good chance that itching and red bumps will develop.
– Do not use creams that contain fruit acids after shaving. They can cause irritation on shaved skin.
