Your bikini line is one the most sensitive spots on your body, and hair removal can irritate the area. The thin skin is prone to itchy, red bumps and ingrown hairs. You can minimize these painful blemishes with the help of a simple, homemade exfoliator. Unlike scrubs for the rest of the body, bikini line scrubs should be gentle on the thin, sensitive skin. Exfoliate the skin around your bikini area before waxing or shaving to minimize or pain or to achieve a closer shave. Exfoliate the skin after hair removal to prevent bumps and redness.
Combine 1/4 cup of white granulated sugar with olive oil or honey to scrub into your skin. Add the olive oil or honey one tablespoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency. You can use natural moisturizers from your kitchen like olive oil or honey. Or, simply mix in the sugar in with soothing beauty products like body wash, lotion, cocoa butter or aloe vera gel.
Apply the exfoliator your bikini line in soft, circular motions. Don't scrub too hard to avoid harming the sensitive skin around your bikini area.
Thoroughly rinse off the scrub with warm water. Avoid water that's too hot because it can irritate the freshly exfoliated skin.
Tips & Warnings
Use white, granulated sugar instead of brown sugar, raw sugar or salt. Brown and raw sugar are much too coarse for the bikini area and salt can cause pain in freshly shaven skin or small cuts and scrapes.
