How to Get a Smooth Bikini Shave

So most girls get bumps on the bikini area after they shave. The hair is coarse and the skin is sensitive. This makes it hard to get a smooth bikini shave. This article will provide the steps you should take in order to get a smooth bikini shave.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• A good razor
• Hair conditioner
• Baby oil
• Lotion for sensitive skin
• A hot shower

1. First you must start with a high quality razor. Make sure to replace the razor often. Having a sharp razor is key. Besides they can grow bacteria and cause infection if you use them for to long.

2. The second step for your smooth bikini shave is to shave at the end of the shower. This will give the hair time to soften in the hot water. If you shave in cold water you are likely to have bumps.

3. Wash the area with soap to get any bacteria of the skin. Now apply the hair conditioner and let sit for a minute. The hair conditioner also softens the hair in preparation for the shave.

4. When shaving you can go against the grain for a smoother shave but this also will lead to some irritation so be careful if you do so. If you go with the grain you will have less of a chance of ingrown hairs. Rinse the razor often when shaving to keep it clean.

5. Now apply some baby oil while your skin is wet and pat dry. Then finish your smooth bikini shave with some lotion for sensitive skin.

Tips & Warnings
