5 Reasons Why You Should Choose Brazilian Waxing

Brazilian Waxing shot right into the spotlight when Carrie got the skinny in one episode of Sex and the City. Since then women are coming in regularly to have their “Brazilian” too like it was a much needed hot oil. But what really is the deal with Brazilian Waxing compared to the traditional bikini waxing method? And why is it strongly preferred by many?

YOU GET COMPLETELY BARE DOWN THERE!

A bikini wax is fine; however it only removes the hairs that run outside of your bikini line. Some women prefer to have more taken at the sides and have some shaving at the top. So for those who want to go ultimately bare, a bikini wax would certainly make the best option.

The procedure can remove all the hairs in your pubic region so you don’t have to worry about those unruly pubic hairs embarrassingly peeking out of your bikini. You can go as skimpy as you want and put those Victoria Secret models to shame without a follicle of hair to betray you!

YOU CAN GET COOL DESIGNS TOO

If you want to go all creative and spontaneous, you can actually have the salon leave some hairs behind and fashion them in a shape of your choice. You could have your initials, a butterfly of maybe keep it simple with a plain rectangular strip left behind.

MORE HYGIENIC

Since a Brazilian wax removes every strand of hair in your pubic area, it keeps it clean and fresh. The presence of hair can also be a good breeding ground of bacteria which could produce some smell.

It is also aesthetically pleasing, which is why Indian and Persian women have been practicing this since ancient times. You also don’t have to worry about hairs sticking out of your bikini or the bikini line. Just remember when Miranda’s attention got called by Sam in the movie version of Sex and the City. The lady looked like she was not growing a shrub but a forest, which was not really unbecoming to behold when one is wearing a swimsuit.

IT IS SEXIER

A lot of women get a Brazilian waxing treatment done because they want to feel better about themselves when undressing. Some women even claim that this makes them feel more confident and sexy in bed. Some even bluntly say that it also improves sex. Adding to this, there are also men who prefer woman going all skinny down there.

IT’S FAST AND THOROUGH

Unlike your typical bikini wax where your pubic hair is only carefully fashioned to follow your bikini line, a Brazilian wax just removes everything. No fuss, no muss, it just leaves you totally hairless not unless you request to have a strip or a triangle daintily created on your pubic mound.

The procedure is fast because the removal is done in one go whereas the bikini wax would have the aesthetician trim and remove the hairs on both sides.

To Wax or Not to Wax Your Legs!

To Wax or Not to Wax your Legs!

Part of being sexy is having smooth and flawless legs, which is why shaving has been part of the beauty regimen of a lot of women.  With a good leg shave you can surely gain better confidence while walking in your daisy dukes or when wearing your favorite bathing suit. You can get your leg shave professionally done, or you could simply do it on your own. So for those who want to keep it cheaper but safe, here are some important tips ad reminders about leg waxing.

The important thing about waxing is that you remove your hair at the right length. For leg waxing, it is best that it is at least a quarter of an inch long. This is long enough for easy removal, and it is short enough not to be that painful. Longer hairs have the tendency to drag that is why they it hurts upon removal.

If your leg hairs are too long, you can trim these using clippers. It would be advisable to opt out of using scissors because there is a tendency that it could cut the hairs too short.

After you have carefully trimmed your leg hairs to the appropriate length, make sure that you cleanse it thoroughly. This prevents any infection and irritation from occurring. You can use pre-waxing cleansers followed by dusting some loose powder over the area. Remember, no body lotions prior to waxing.

Applying a toner or astringent over the area will also allow the pores to tighten creating a firmer hold on the hairs. This can make the removal process less painful because it prevents skin dragging.

Waxing Half Leg @ Pink Parlour Philippines

Waxing kits come in two variations. Its either you can have it hot or cold. A hot wax is better for grabbing hairs, while a cold wax is considered to be more hygienic than the first. Make sure that you carefully read the instructions on your waxing pack. Cold waxes no longer require spatulas for application, while hot waxes would need a wax spot, spatula and cotton strips.

If you are using hot wax, make sure that you first test a small amount over your leg to ensure that it is no longer piping hot, which could result to burns.

Also to make hair removal from the legs much easier, it would if you apply the wax and remove it according to the direction of the hair growth. Going against the grain will be more painful and irritating.

When applying the strip, you should always take note on where to place some leftover strip on which you should hold on to pull. If the direction of your hair grows from left to right, you would leave extra on the left side.

In pulling, you need to hold your skin taught first to ensure easy removal that is much less painful. Before you remove the strip, you need to firmly press on it to ensure that the hairs have fully stuck to the piece of strip. With a swift motion, you then remove the strip.

It is highly likely that there will still be a few hairs left, so you have to go back to keep the results clean and thorough. For a better outcome, you may have to go around your leg about 4-6 times.

Worried about the pain? Well that is understandable because waxing can be rather uncomfortable, but to reduce the sensation you can always take analgesics such as ibuprofen before the treatment. It is also best if you have your leg waxing done after your period, because your body is more sensitive weeks prior to menstruation.

If you want to maintain soft and silky legs after waxing, you can do so by regularly exfoliating your legs while on the shower. You can use bath salts or loofahs to help get rid of dead skin cells.

But a very important word of caution though, if you have diabetes, varicose veins or poor circulation in the area, you are not advised to do some waxing. You should also be very careful if you have been using anti-acne medications because these have the tendency to make the skin more sensitive. If you are regularly using anti-acne meds then you should put your waxing treatment off for a few weeks after you stopped the medication.

Waxing can have its benefits over shaving. The latter may be simple and less expensive, but it exposes you to larger risks for poorer outcomes. There is a good chance that you can get nicks and cuts, which could affect the overall aesthetics of your legs, basically beating the reason for shaving. But if you really want to get safe and excellent treatment, you can always go to your trusted salon for that quality leg waxing treatment.
