Should you Shave or Should you Wax
Today's digital professional cameras capture every detail of your
smile, body, and curves in high resolution, and if your feminine body parts are not well-groomed from your head to your toes and everything in between, it will be noticeable in the photos.
Yes, this can be edited in photoshop, but why give your photographer extra retouching work on something you should have taken care of before the shoot? So, after you have selected the sexy lingerie and the hot bikinis for your next photoshoot, don't skip over your bikini area.
Now the question is should you shave or should you wax.
Shaving Tips
Start by trimming your pubic hair with scissors or a bikini trimmer.
Do not shave the same spot more than a few times to avoid irritation.
Dr. Julie Harper
“Treat razor burn and ingrown hairs by gently exfoliating the affected area with a washcloth in the shower, and avoid shaving -- until the redness and irritation have subsided.”
“Resist the urge to perform DIY surgery on razor bumps and ingrown hairs. The bump could get infected and you might be left with an ugly scar. You can try gently lifting ingrown hairs with a toothpick, but don’t use anything too sharp. If the hair doesn’t lift easily, stop, and if the area is tender or hot to the touch, see your doctor.”
To avoid irritation, don't work out or wear tight clothing immediately after shaving. This also includes having sex. Skin can be extra-sensitive to bacteria, moisture, and chafing from your workout clothes.”
For these reasons, shave the day before your beach bikini shoot, not the day of.
Waxing Tips
Many women prefer the longer-lasting results and choose to get a bikini wax. As with many things in life, waxing does get better the more you do it.
Your hairs will start to grow less thick and hurt less when waxed often, and your skin will stay smoother longer as long as you get waxed regularly.
Stop shaving for about 5 days or more.
Before waxing, your hair needs to be about 1/4 of an inch long or the size of a grain of rice. The wax needs something to grab onto, so you need to have some hair down there for it to work best.
Traditional/Standard Bikini Wax
Brazilian Wax
A Brazilian wax will leave your skin smoother for a bikini and a lingerie photoshoot.
After your wax.
Skin can be extra-sensitive to bacteria, moisture, and chafing from your workout clothes.
Buy Ingrown Hair Serum
Get your Bikini wax at least 24 hours before your hot beach photoshoot.
My wife says waxing down there really doesn't hurt as much as you think it will.
The more you go, the less it hurts. She told me that the root stops growing as you go more often, and there isn't as much hair to pull out. So don't worry about it and start waxing!
