Want to go from prickly bush to smooth bikini line? A modest bikini line or full Brazilian wax? In this roadmap, I will teach you how to achieve a smooth bikini line that is worthy of being seen in 5 steps. Suitable for anyone who wants to shave, epilate or wax their bikini line. Here we go.

1. Choose your style

The first step to a smooth bikini line is not an easy one: defining your style. This choice is very personal, because what one woman likes, another may not like at all. Above all, stick to yourself and keep in mind that there are styles that are easy (A & B) and more difficult (C & D) to keep up with. A Bikini: a familiar and accessible style for everyone. With this style, you remove only those hairs that are visible when you have bikini bottoms or briefs on. It is a relaxed style that is easy to keep up with by epilating, shaving and waxing. B Extended bikini: the extended bikini goes a step beyond. Not only do you remove the visible hair, but you also liven things up a bit by applying a triangular shape. Perfect for those who want to maintain their own bikini line regularly at home. Suitable for epilation, shaving and waxing. C French wax: a style for those who like to show a little more skin and, for example, like to appear on the beach in a (high-cut) swimsuit. The shape somewhat resembles a “runway. You can have a french wax done at home yourself or by a friend, but a salon visit is definitely not a bad idea. Not everyone is equally skilled with hot wax so enlisting the help of a pro can have its advantages. D Brazilian wax: a brazilian wax involves removing all the hair or leaving only a thin strip of pubic hair and removing all the remaining hair. Also at the back. This style gets its name from the Brazilian ladies who like to appear on the beach in a thong or tanga. This style is sometimes called Hollywood.

2. Choose your hair removal method

Now that you know what you want as an end result, you can also choose your hair removal method. Are you going for a bikini or an extended bikini? Then you can shave your bikini line as well as epilate and wax. Will you go for a French or Brazilian bikini line? Then I recommend waxing. With this you will achieve the most beautiful results.

3. Prepare your skin

Before you get started with your razor, epilator or make an appointment at the waxing salon, I recommend that you prepare your skin properly. After all, your skin has quite a bit to endure when it comes to hair removal. The better you take care of your skin the more beautiful your bikini line. If you proceed carelessly or in a hurry, you increase the chances of irritation, itching and ingrown hairs. So first take care of it. You can prepare your skin for hair removal:

• by exfoliating 2 to 3 times a week with a mild scrub
• by using a nourishing lotion with a light exfoliating effect such as YIONN Raka that removes dead skin cells and cares for your intimate skin

Exfoliating and grooming with YIONN Raka is really preparation and you don’t do it on the day of hair removal itself. Rather, give your skin as much rest as possible on the day of hair removal. Proper aftercare is important, though, but I’ll talk more about that in a moment.

4. Shave, wax or epilate

Thanks to good preparation, it’s time to wax. For most hair removal methods, it is wise to cut or trim the hair first if it is very long. For shaving, tweezing and waxing, I recommend a hair length of 5mm. Before hair removal, make sure your skin is clean. No need to scrub with soap, but taking a shower first is a good idea. Warm water also makes shaving, among other things, a lot easier.

5. Take care of your depilated skin

The hair removal is over. What a wonderful feeling! To enjoy your “bikini cut” for as long as possible, aftercare is incredibly important. So be sure not to skip this last step. How do you care for your skin after hair removal? Care and nourish your skin after hair removal with an aftershave balm for sensitive skin. You apply an aftershave balm immediately after hair removal, which reduces any redness and burning immediately. Any wounds are immediately protected and the skin is intensively nourished. Despite the name, an aftershave balm is also suitable when you do not shave, but epilate or wax. The effect remains the same and your skin, regardless of your hair removal method, always needs good aftercare and some extra love after hair removal. YIONN’s aftershave balm is suitable for sensitive skin and apply directly after hair removal. You let it soak in for a while and rinsing is not necessary. The perfume-free balm soothes your skin immediately and strengthens skin resistance in the long run. Your skin feels calm and strong after use. And they are.
