Bikini waxing does bring its own set of dangers, particularly when it comes to the potential for infection. As such, we always caution patients about making sure they clean their bodies adequately before coming in for their session.
While the attending cosmetologist will likely apply a cleansing solution before proceeding with your bikini wax, you should do your own part to guarantee cleanliness around the area. Make sure to perform your regular cleaning regimen before you come in for a bikini wax. As much as possible, get it done immediately before leaving for the salon. The longer the period is between your cleansing and the actual hair removal, the more opportunities you will have to sweat and consequently develop impurities in your sensitive areas.
At least three days before the session, use an exfoliating face wash (e.g. glycolic acid cleanser) on the hair in your bikini area. This will help remove dead cells that make it extremely difficult (not to mention, painful) to wax the hair off.
