How to Use a Home Bikini Wax Kit

If you just don't like the idea of a stranger ripping hot wax off your nether regions, take note. There are several good choices out there for an at-home bikini wax. With some planning, you can achieve excellent results at home without too much pain. This is not the pain your Grandma was referring to when she said, "You have to suffer to be beautiful." Follow these steps to learn more.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

1. Prepare your skin before you begin waxing. Clean the area thoroughly with an exfoliating scrub; then dry it completely. Sprinkling baby powder on the bikini area is a popular way to keep it dry for waxing.

2. Use a numbing cream or spray if you have extremely sensitive skin. Take an aspirin or painkiller before you wax at home.

3. Choose a waxing method that seems easiest to you. There are strips, sugar waxes, creams, cold waxes and hard waxes. Reading customer reviews online is a good way to gauge which product will work best for your personality and waxing expertise.

4. Go over the instruction booklet that comes with your kit carefully before use. Make sure you understand all steps before you begin.

5. Soothe the bikini area with baby oil or calamine lotion when you are finished. Wear loose clothing for at least a few days after waxing.
