My detailed guide on how to achieve the most flawless, smooth and bikini ready shave ever >333

Orginally posted in hygiene, but i figured you guys could find it helpful too!

Pubic hair isnt unhygienic as long as you keep it clean!

First off! You are beautiful the way you are, whether you wanna realize it or not! dont worry if you cant get it right the first ten times, you'll figure it out eventually i promise!!

As a disclaimer, i have thick hair on my lady bits, but thin hair on my bikini line.

The steps to a perfect shave:

Exfoliate; this can be done physically, chemically or a mixture of both. I highly recommend the KP bump eraser by first aid beauty (i think u can get it at ulta im not sure about sephora)Its much finer than a sugar scrub, and will give you THE smoothest base for your shave. It contains 10% AHA which will chemically help exfoliate as well. Obviously dont let it get in the hole! If u cant use this product, than use an african net sponge and scrub the area gently for about 45 seconds. Do NOT use a sugar scrub as it can cause micro tears due to the granules being so large, & result in infection.

Shaving lubricant: You can use shave oil, mousse, cream, gel or just baby oil! 1)Shave oil will give you the most soothing, moiturized shave and closest shave. 2)Cream will give you a more protective, soothing shave. However it sacrifices smoothness in my experience. 3) Mousse and gel give you the closest shave, however it can cause irritation a little bit due to it being stripping of natural moisture. 4) Baby oil can give you a really moisturized, minimal irritation shave & and its super cheap. However some people complain of slipperiness in the shower and its potential to clog the razor, so if thats in issue for you, then pass! My overall favorite is shave oil and baby oil! Learn what works for you and stick to it! If you guys want product recs for any of these, let me know!!

The shave: Use a single blade razor. Please stop using cheap ass multi blade razors. They are causing your hairs to snag and form ingrowns! If you use a multiblade one, i recommend the Intuition Razor by Schick (not an ad ofc dw). It has built in shaving cream, so itll cut you the cost of buying cream too. Despite that, single blade razors are still the best. 1) Trim your hairs if they are really long before shaving. Shave first in the downward direction, than against the grain for a super close shave. For bikini area, do the same. You can also shave side to side to really cut everything, but be extremely careful not to cut yourself!!

Aftershave: Always use an aftershave!! You can use baby oil, aloe vera gel, or a chemical exfoliating solution, although this one might burn for some of you. Also be sure to moisturize and avoid all products with heavy fragrance. If you want to chemically exfoliate after the shave to help with ingrowns, which i highly recommend, than do so after about 10-30 minutes after shaving.

if you girlies have any questions or want product recs, please lemme know, ill help you ASAP!!! Good luck girliess!!>3333

[Misc] Exfoliation 101: Your detailed guide to flawless, bump free skin according to your skin type

Today’s post will be about exfoliation! Exfoliation, alongside moisturizing, is the key to flawless, smooth and healthy skin. When you begin to tackle the issue of exfoliation, the choices can seem overwhelming. Today, I’ll break it down for you to understand!

There are chemical and physical exfoliants. Neither are better than each other. I’ll break it down here for you to understand the details of each:

Physical exfoliants.

This is the most effective at smoothing rough patches quickly, before shaving, removing dead skin at the surface level, and helping with revealing new, healthy skin instead of dry, dead skin layers. While both types of exfoliating can be over used & cause damage, this one is the one you have to be most careful not to overdo.

  1. African net sponge: much more gentle than all the others mentioned, and can be used everyday. These are waayyy more hygienic than loofahs. Super effective at daily cleaning, and makes a washcloth work and feel like a tissue paper. Once you try using this and experience this level of clean, there is no going back haha. If its too rough for you, you can try boiling it in hot water for a little while soften it. Works great with liquid and bar soaps for a thorough, gently exfoliating, daily shower experience.
  2. Sugar scrubs: Probably the most popular, and for a good reason. It helps remove the top layer of dead skin and instantly reveals softer skin. They come in pretty smells and colors, and they are super affordable. However, there are definitely some cons. Because it is a sugar substance, it can dissolve in the water before you actually get to exfoliate thoroughly. Also, the granules are a bit large, making it unsuitable to use on the bikini or armpit areas before shaving. If you have KP and are looking for a good exfoliant for that, this might not be a good option simply because the granules are too large. If you need a efficient, surface level smoothing agent, this is a great option. You can use it up to 3 times a week, depending on your skin. Dove brand scrubs are much much more gentle and moisturizing, whereas Tree Hut, Dr Teals and equate brand ones are much rougher and do a better job at exfoliating. Any brand will work, as long as it matches your skin type!

3.Salt scrubs: I highly advise against salt scrubs. They are way too abrasive and can cause a lot of cuts, burning and infections. I dont even know why they exist, but please stay away from them. If you use one that works for you, that’s great. However, they may do a good job for your heels or feet due to being so coarse. But honestly you can just use a foot file for that. Please stay away from salt scrubs.

  1. Pumice type scrubs: These are my personal favorite! They are much smaller granules to exfoliate a bit more deeply, making them really effective for Kp! I love the First Aid Beauty Kp Eraser (not sponsored, I genuinely just love it so much) for pre shave exfoliation, Kp management, and bumpy knees. It is the most effective of all scrubs at removing every bit of dead skin, and it contains 10% AHA (chemical surface exfoliant) to really help get everything off. I made the mistake of assuming all scrubs do the same thing, but I was certainly wrong. I dont know of any other scrubs like this one, but if you guys know of any, then that works too! Use this a maximum of twice a week if you have relatively sensitive skin, but you can use it 3 times if your skin can handle it. I only use it 2 times a week, but your frequency will depend on your skin type!

5.Morrocan Exfoliation: This is a super thorough, visible sloughing of dead skin cells treatment for a whole host of skin concerns. It is a great detox for your skin and can be done once a week for smooth, super clean skin. It involves using a special soap and glove to physically roll your dead skin cells off. I don’t care what anyone says, it is dead skin, not dirt. Its great for dry, dull, oily, congested and kp skin. If you guys want a in depth guide on how to do this, let me know and I’ll write one!

Chemical exfoliants

These are most effective at blackhead removal, ingrown hair prevention, clogged pores, and body acne.

They work well for Kp too. It is important to note that these can cause the most severe reactions if used improperly, so make sure you understand the percentages of active ingredients, and frequency of use.

  1. AHA. This stands for Alpha Hydroxy Acid. These work more on the surface level of your skin and are water soluble. AHAs help remove dead skin in the pores and surface, as well as lightening old scars and marks. These come in varying strengths from 5% in body washes, scrubs and lotions to 20% in body treatments, peels and prescription creams. Personally, I find 7-10% to be a perfect middle ground in terms of strength. You’ll get fast results, but they are still gentle enough to use daily with proper moisturizing. The percentage you choose depends entirely on your skin sensitivity and needs. Examples of AHA’s are: Lactic acid, Mandelic acid and Glycolic acid. My favorite chemical exfoliant for helping my Kp, and lightening scars is The Ordinary 7% glycolic acid toner. Honestly any toner with this percentage will work, but I like this one because its cheap. Its also a great aftershave to help with ingrowns. You can use this up to once daily all over your body. AHA’s come in the form of scrubs, washes, lotions, toners and serums.
  2. BHA. This stands for Beta Hydroxy Acids. These penetrate the pores and dissolve oil and sebum. They help with acne, unclogging pores and blackheads. BHAs are oil soluble, which also means they may cause purging (your skin basically pushing all the gunk to the surface, causing a temporary breakout phase) for some individuals. They come in varying strengths as well, with 2% being the active ingredient in acne treatments. You can find them in washes, lotions, creams, toners and serums. I dont use them personally, because I have dry body skin & I dont have acne. If you struggle with body acne, ingrowns or clogged pores, then this is a great exfoliant for those concerns.

There are a couple other types of chemical exfoliants, but these are the most common. It is super important to always moisturize if you exfoliate (which you should be!), to avoid over drying of your skin! Do everything in moderation and according yo your skin type and needs. What works for one might not work for another. Keep that in mind always when choosing for your skin>3

PHEW! That was long! But I hope it helps someone out there trying to figure it out!! If you guys have any questions or product recs, lemme know and ill help you ASAP!! good luck>333

Lady bits hygiene 101: How to be fresh and clean all day for ladies, a detailed guide

So I want to start this off with a disclaimer: I actually have professional schooling on these things by a gynecologist, so just keep that in mind. I am not claiming to be a professional, and im not claiming i know everyhting. I am simply saying i have taken quite a few classes about gynecology. Also, do not put anything in your actual vagina. The parts we are cleaning here are referred to as a the “labia”. Nothing goes in the vagina, as she is self cleaning and doesn’t catch lint etc. All of this is my education and experience.

Firstly, we are going to talk about feminine cleansers. No scented products allowed. Period. They cause a whole range of horrible illnesses, imbalances, infections ,itchiness and possibly even cancer etc. You are actually taught this when you take professional classes. The compounds that make up the fragrance are actually toxic to be going to your feminine parts. Whether you’ve been using them for years or you’ve never tried it, the damage is being done whether you realize it or not. Stay away from summer’s eve, honeypot and all other scented, chemical laden washes.When a product says “dermatologist approved” or “gynecologist approved”, that is paid lip service to help them market their products. Every proper gynecologist knows that fragrance compounds aren’t okay to be putting down there.Think about it: if you can still smell the wash down there when you rinsed it off, that means there are remnants of the fragrance just marinating down there for the next hours, which is terrible for your feminine health.Also be sure to avoid parabens, phalates, dyes and sulfates. You’ll want to use something like the Dove Unscented baby wash (if you find another product with similar ingredients, scent free and hypoallergenic, than you can use that too), or the Equate Feminine Wash. They both are great choices for a gentle feminine wash with minimized possibility of side effects.

Next is choosing a washcloth. If you want to use one or not, is up to you. I recommend a gentle washcloth to really get between the creases and clean. If its too rough for you, go ahead and use your hands.

Pump some onto your hands or washcloth and begin gently cleaning your labia with back and forth motions, avoiding the actual vagina. When you’re finished, be sure you rinse really really well with lukewarm water. When you are finished with all these steps, making sure you dry properly is imperative. Little trick I like to do is dry with my hairdryer on cool just to be sure there is no moisture left. Moisture is what can cause the odor, itchiness and lint buildup. All done!!

I’ll go ahead and point out if you don’t have issues with smell, sweat buildup, lint buildup or itching etc than using a cleanser might not even be necessary for you,although I’d still recommend it. You can just use water and a gentle washcloth.

Diet is also pretty important too. Ensure you are drinking enough water, eating yogurt (sometimes lol), and getting your fruits & veggies. It has a big impact on how you smell and taste. I actually do a taste test on myself daily to detect any changes in my diet I may not have noticed. I usually am a little sweet (tmi tmi tmi), so when I dont taste that, I’ll have some spinach and cranberry juice, and viola! Back to normal.Another little tip is to try to sleep commando just to let her breathe during the night. When you do wear underwear, cotton is best!

Hope this helps some girl somewhere, and good luck>3!!

How to achieve the most flawless bikini shave ever without irritation from the girl who's been there, done that

Pubic hair isnt unhygienic as long as you keep it clean!

First off! You are beautiful the way you are, whether you wanna realize it or not! dont worry if you cant get it right the first ten times, you'll figure it out eventually i promise!!

As a disclaimer, i have thick hair on my lady bits, but thin hair on my bikini line.

The steps to a perfect shave:

Exfoliate; this can be done physically, chemically or a mixture of both. I highly recommend the KP bump eraser by first aid beauty (i think u can get it at ulta im not sure about sephora)Its much finer than a sugar scrub, and will give you THE smoothest base for your shave. It contains 10% AHA which will chemically help exfoliate as well. Obviously dont let it get in the hole! If u cant use this product, than use an african net sponge and scrub the area gently for about 45 seconds. Do NOT use a sugar scrub as it can cause micro tears due to the granules being so large, & result in infection.

Shaving lubricant: You can use shave oil, mousse, cream, gel or just baby oil! 1)Shave oil will give you the most soothing, moiturized shave and closest shave. 2)Cream will give you a more protective, soothing shave. However it sacrifices smoothness in my experience. 3) Mousse and gel give you the closest shave, however it can cause irritation a little bit due to it being stripping of natural moisture. 4) Baby oil can give you a really moisturized, minimal irritation shave & and its super cheap. However some people complain of slipperiness in the shower and its potential to clog the razor, so if thats in issue for you, then pass! My overall favorite is shave oil and baby oil! Learn what works for you and stick to it! If you guys want product recs for any of these, let me know!!

The shave: Use a single blade razor. Please stop using cheap ass multi blade razors. They are causing your hairs to snag and form ingrowns! If you use a multiblade one, i recommend the Intuition Razor by Schick (not an ad ofc dw). It has built in shaving cream, so itll cut you the cost of buying cream too. Despite that, single blade razors are still the best. 1) Trim your hairs if they are really long before shaving. Shave first in the downward direction, than against the grain for a super close shave. For bikini area, do the same. You can also shave side to side to really cut everything, but be extremely careful not to cut yourself!!

Aftershave: Always use an aftershave!! You can use baby oil, aloe vera gel, or a chemical exfoliating solution, although this one might burn for some of you. Also be sure to moisturize and avoid all products with heavy fragrance. If you want to chemically exfoliate after the shave to help with ingrowns, which i highly recommend, than do so after about 10-30 minutes after shaving.

As a disclaimer, its important you do not overdo with these steps so you don’t get cuts:)

You’ll need Freeman Flirty Feet peeling spray (5 bucks on amazon), a nail file, tea tree oil (pure essential oil), a big foot file, and a super thick cream. I recommend either a urea foot stick or Nivea Creme. Optional is a clear polish for anyone who wants to add that pretty shine on their toenails, and a sugar scrub for the top of your feet to be smoother than a dolphin’s head

Start by filling a container with hot water and a few drops of tea tree oil then start soaking your feet for 10-20 minutes. The longer the better, but it really depends on the condition of your feet. If you have super crusty feet, leave them soaking for at least 15 minutes. If they are just lightly crusty in a few places, you might even be able to skip the step all together, but I still advise you soak for at least 7 minutes.

Then, take your foot file and begin scraping the crusty parts in a back and forth motion applying some pressure. If it hurts on the super crusted parts, than let it soak a little longer and scrape gently. Be sure to scrape your heel, beneath your big toe and all other places you have crusting. If you have a file with a buffing surface, use that on all the places you scraped with to ensure the dead skin is removed properly.

Once you finish removing the majority of the callouses this way, dry your feet and spray the Freeman Flirty Feet peeling spray on all the places you used your callous remover. It will help lift all the remaining crustiness off your feet. Spray a good amount and begin rubbing your fingers over it as it creates dead skin clumps. This stuff smells funny, but that’s just cause its super potent. After this step if finished, wash your feet. Feel how smooth they’ve become:)?

If you choose to use a sugar scrub at this point, slightly wet your feet and go ahead and scrub your whole feet with a good amount of scrub. When you’re finished, dry your feet again.

Now use your nail file to shape, clean and scrape your toe nails and toenail folds. Make sure you get all the gunk out and shape it to your desired length/shape.

Now for the tea tree oil. If you have stinky toes, toe fungus or athletes foot, apply a few undiluted drops of tea tree oil on your toes only. Not on your whole foot.This works extremely well and quickly for helping with these fungal or bacteria related problems on your toes. I know some people find this controversial, but for those who are actually wanting to get rid of your toe problems, this is the solution.

Lastly, apply your thick cream to your feet very generously and put some fluffy socks on over it. When you go to sleep and wake up, your feet will be unbelievably soft and smooth like mine;)!!

You can do this routine weekly to keep your feet pretty and smooth. Guys can do this too!

Let me know it anyone tried this and how it turned out and I hope this helps!
