Shaving or Waxing -
Are you going to wax and shave? Make the right decision
for the big vacation!
Deciding Whether to Shave or Wax Not sure if you
want to shave or wax for your honeymoon?
Waxing will keep your skin silky smooth throughout your
honeymoon and is definitely the better way to go, so you
don't need to hassle with hairs growing in a few days into
your vacation.
Here are some things to consider:
- Never waxed before: do a test run at least 3 months
before your honeymoon and keep it consistent until your
wedding date, ask your cosmetologist for a good schedule
so that you can be ready for the wax right before your
wedding. Not enough hair growth can hinder a wax more
than too much hair growth!
- The longer you wax, the slower your hair will grow
in, so start as soon as you can, preferably 6 months before
your honeymoon, so you are use to waxing and your skin
doesn't get irritated.
- Moisturize to prevent bumps - also try a product like
Tend Skin, which is great in keeping your skin from ingrown
hairs.
- During your testing sessions, see how many days it
takes to clear you of the redness and record the number.
Make a waxing appointment that many days before your wedding.
If you don’t have time to test but you know you
react okay to waxing, try 3 – 4 days before your
wedding. This should give you ample time for the redness
to leave.
- What kind of bikini wax to get – some places
differ in what they call their different bikini waxes,
so if you aren’t sure, ask for specifics or bring
in your swim suit along to make sure they don’t
leave anything peaking out.
Traumatized from previous
waxing experiences - try it again with a
beaty salon who uses hard wax. The days of wax and cloth
strips are over! Hard wax is much less painful than the
strips of the past. Find a beauty salon that uses hard wax
and go for a test run. Try to take a couple of pain relievers
about 30 minutes before your appointment to help with the
pain, with either form of waxing method.
Still hate waxing –
or don’t have the time or money…
If you can’t wax, go with shaving, but make sure you
don’t switch products (moisturizers, gels, creams,
shavers…) right before your wedding. The main thing
is that you’re consistent so your body doesn’t
react poorly and you end up with a bumpy mess or in pain
on an 8-hour flight!! Remember, shaving directly followed
by the ocean water can be unpleasant, as well as chlorine.
Keep this in mind when deciding when you will shave on your
honeymoon. If you shave your bikini zone, make sure you
are doing this consistently for several months before the
wedding. It can take time for your body to get use to shaving.
Also, make sure you moisturize afterward; dryness can create
even more razor burn.
