Bikini Line 101 | Get Rid of Dark Spots, Ingrown Hair, and Pimples!!

hey guys with summer Raider on the corner and me not taking care of my bikini line this winter I'm gonna show you my treatment plan to take care of ingrown hairs dark marks and I'm gonna talk about hair removal this is my bikini line rehab I hope you guys enjoy hair removal is always optional but if you're watching this video I'm assuming you're interested in removing hair you have a couple of options in my opinion I would stick to shaving or waxing I don't know much about epilator 's and of course laser hair removal is always an option but that requires a ton of commitment and a lot of cash if you've never seen my how to shave perfectly video you can watch that and you'll see that it's really easy to learn it's great for daily maintenance and of course it's accessible which is the best so this isn't gonna be a hair removal tutorial I'm gonna talk about how to bring your bikini line from not good to good now when I shave no matter what even if it's a fresh blade and a fresh shave I still get those dots around the bikini line because the hair still remains under the poor and if it's dark and thick enough like mine it's gonna show up but what makes everything worse is that it's itchy when it grows back my hair is so thick that when it pokes through the skin it really itches and it's uncomfortable so I had to give up shaving altogether and switch to waxing waxing is not just a way to remove hair it's a way to improve the bikini line and the appearance of it I had a really bad bikini line visual going on before I started waxing and I've noticed a huge improvement but I do have to mention this is not one of the areas of my body that I am comfortable waxing on my own I advise that you never try to do your own bikini line or especially Brazilian it will be a mess it's just too painful to complete on your own professionals are really used to doing it and it's actually a lot more comfortable going in for the service than I thought it would be I go for a Brazilian where they remove everything between the cheeks in the front and just anything in the panty line this improves like my entire life because the hair comes back thinner it lasts a really long time I only go in every two months and in this video you guys are seeing some of the hair follicles are actually starting to grow back so this is after a month and a half and once I see those black dots starting to form I know that the hair is finally grown back the great thing about waxing is it takes the hair right from the roots so it does take a long time for those black dots to return and eventually the hair will poke out and you can go for your next wax the bad thing about waxing is you have to wait so you keyline will look like this sometimes okay now that we've talked about hair removal let's talk about some more serious bikini line issues I usually get ingrown hairs that look like this one on the right the most often what you can do to prevent these is exfoliate but if you're shaving I do have to mention that you need to replace your blade a lot more quickly and that's if you're experiencing razor bumps or ingrown hairs only there's a lot of follow up and aftercare that comes with both shaping and waxing and that's when I want to focus on in this video so first I'm gonna talk about exfoliating you can use either a loofah or a nice scrub that you have I like to use a sugar scrub I find this really effective on the lower half and all over the body actually what I'm going to show you is the more effective way to exfoliate your skin so something funny we've all been told to exfoliate the wrong way when it comes to the bikini line the little small circular motions that were advised to use on our face and body actually causes a lot of damage and causes ingrown hairs so I'm going to show you something when you're exfoliating only go in and up and down motion be gentle or rough whatever your skin likes depending on how sensitive it is but make sure you don't go back and forth or around in a circle this causes ingrown hairs because it confuses the hairs as they start to grow in they don't know which direction to go so when you're going up and down you're encouraging the hair to be able to poke through the skin which is really important this will definitely eliminate ingrown hairs and it'll also encourage the hair to poke through comfortably so you won't be itchy if you do shave I recommend exfoliating two times a week at least this product is awesome it actually does what it says this is one of those drugstore favorites of mine it's a really unsexy bottle but it does remove razor bumps and ingrown hairs I just toss some of this onto a cotton pad and then I apply it fresh out of the shower to my skin and it works like a dream I don't always remember to use it but when I do I always see a big difference if you shave regularly I recommend this being one of your number one products and wait for the green product if you're a waxer because I like that one a little bit more for daily use next we're gonna talk about dark spots I get a lot of darkness in the bikini line when I don't take care of it one of the easiest things I've noticed is to make a change in the color of my underwear wear a light-colored underwear and make sure that it's 95% cotton at least this is a lot more breathable and there's no harsh dyes that are going to be really dark on this leaving a dark pigmentation on the bikini line I also like seeing really comfortable lace on the edge of the panty line because it means it's gonna be more comfortable on the bikini area and it's not gonna be harsh if you've just shaved okay here's the green product I was talking about this one is a lot more hydrating than the one I mentioned before I really like this if you're a regular waxer definitely try this one if you need the extra power then go for the ten skin but this one's a lot more hydrating which I love what I do is I apply this fresh out of the shower just like the other one and it removes darkness around the bikini line as well as prevents ingrown hairs so this one's like a do at all hydration is the number one way to eliminate dark areas as well as creating some type of exfoliation to the area so that you can give your skin the opportunity to renew what I'm using here is a derma roller so what I do is I roll this across my skin it's got a ton of needles on it and they're just thin enough to not be painful but create a little bit of abrasion on the skin a little bit of damage which is gonna make it have to renew itself so you're gonna create a little bit of damage to that when you go to sleep your skin is going to regrow and when it regrows it's gonna be brighter and it's gonna be without the scars so if you've got scars like I do from shaving or whatever don't worry about it just make sure you don't have any active pimples that are really red and puffy because derma rolling is not meant for that I will do a video if you guys want to see how to take care of and how to use your derma roller I'll do that next if you want just give this video a thumbs up like I mentioned moisturizing is the number one way to make sure that your skin doesn't get any darkness after removing the hair so use something that's really gentle preferably without fragrance this one has a scent but it's natural and I really like this you can just apply this to the skin after you've removed the hair and on a daily basis just like you would put moisturizer on your skin that concludes my bikini line rehab with all of the tips and habits that you can start to create a better looking bikini line it's really hard to have a perfect bikini line don't pressure yourself it's just silly we all grow hair and it's perfectly normal I hope you guys
