Maybe you've already mastered the art of shaving other parts of your body, like your legs or armpits. But shaving your bikini area can still be a challenge. The hair in your bikini area tends to be more coarse and curly than hair on other parts of your body, Dr. Emily Newsom, a board-certified dermatologist at UCLA Health, tells TODAY.com. 'So it's more prone to ingrown hairs,' she explains.
Specifically, the American Academy of Dermatology recommends standing while you groom the bikini area. Standing up actually makes it easier to see what you're doing than if you were lying down, the AAD says. How to perfect your bikini shaving technique: No matter what part of your body you're shaving, it's important to follow the same basic guidelines to prevent irritating your skin or cutting yourself.
