I guess I'll be the first to answer. I rarely shave - when I do, it's usually for an acting role. This obviously eans that my skin etc is less used to rigmarole of shaving. I guess I kinda have two things to ask:

Best way to do it (occasionally when using the electric razor, my skin flakes as though dry: that's probably a dehydration thing and am working on it and sometimes get irritation on my throat from the normal razor - also, how best to do around the lips with catching/nicking).

I don't know if it's covered in your job, but nether-region shaving, particularly the twosome. It's been requested (and fairly so), but it never goes that well and plenty of nicking happens, with plenty of uncut/less then well cut hairs. Trying to ask delicately is probably making me unclear, but yeah...

What type of skin.. Im interested actually I always thought I would have sensetive skin but im not sure so Help me! :P

Also , I have some small awkward points on my arm / half chest since ever.. ? I think docs once said its natural stuff or something but I dont know.. I could send you a pic if you want but its hard to see

Thanks already :3

1. Is epilation effective on private parts? I know it hurts because I've tried.. but after 1hour of trying(with pauses) I could only clear maybe 2inches of my skin. Is there any trick of doing it?
2. Method to wax down there by self?

- I kind of want to do it myself than going to a saloon and get it done by random person.

Possible dehydration there, if you don't already, drink plenty of water, believe or not but water can really help your skin, It also can be caused by dry skin, (do you find you normally have dry skin?) if so, try buying cleansers for dry skin. Also but some moisturiser on after you shave, it will help loads.

When shaving 'down there' you really must trim with some scissors (short short, stop them curls) Then shave with the hair to start off then against. also try stretching the skin with one hand, as a female I know that helps me to get a clean even cut. Also before you shave, take a warm bath or shower, it opens your pores and your hair follicle widens a little, which can make it a little more easier to shave. Make sure you put a soothing lotion (non-perfumed) after wards

amazingly your hair colour can (CAN) determined what type of skin type you have, Ginger - blonde tend to have sensitive skin, Dark hair tends to have oily skin. Also your skin colour. Is your skin pale? its a sign of Sensitivity, Black-Caucasian skin tend to me more oily/Combination. Does your skin tend to turn red a lot? (sensitive) is to try to touch? (dry) or is it on the oily sided? (oily) or.. do you have a bit of everything? (combination skin)

Sure send me a picture! I would like to see these.

What type of epilation method are you doing? as some are only designed for small amounts of hair, such as eyebrows, lip and chin/neck and even breasts. I recommend going to a salon for wax in the intimate parts, as the therapist knows what they are doing, trust me! I also find it less painful when someone else is doing it. But if you wish to do it your self;

Clean the area first, (using some sort of afterwax or a none-perfumed cleanser, make sure you dry before you start, and do it in small sections, start with your bikini line, and bit my bit slowly move in. put the wax with the hair growth (if warm wax or waxing strips) and remove against the hair, theres no rush so take your time. Once your finshed, apply an after wax lotion/cream, stay away from anything tight fitting for 8 hours and avoid hot baths/showers for about 24 hours. Also it takes around about 2-3 days to heal and recover, depending on your skin type.

Thanks. The epilator I use is for bikini, underarms areas.. I think I'm using the right one. And waxing seems easier than this I'm going to try it for sure. Thanks. ^^

Do you know what sort it is? 'cause you can get some that uses needles and for 1 hair at a time. I'm guessing yours is like a fast plucking machine?

Yes. Fast plucking tweezers.

I personally find them more painful then waxing, and somtimes I notice they cut ther hairs in half instead of plucking them out! But yes your best option is wax.

Have you ever tried hair removal creams?

I personally dont recomened hair removal cream, first of it has the same-ish effect of shaving, also It can over time, damage your skin and cause all sorts of problems, hair removal creams 'down there' are a big no no as well.

I know how you feel! Shaving is so annoying. And doesnt last long.
They say laser is permanent, but has tendencies to grow back, people who go and get laser done oftern come back and get electrical epilation done to remove any hairs that have grown back.
Laser is safe, but can be expensive, its usually done over a course of treatments, so you might have to go in for more.

Also laser can not treat blonde or white hairs, now I dont know if someone has gone and invented laser that can treat these hairs but to my knowledge its none-effective

I do recommend wax, yes it can hurt but over time you get used to it, and with some people ive found that it almost doesnt hurt at all.
Also when you wax your hairs start to get thin and over time stop growing (this oocours normally in patches)

Its best to go to a salon to get waxed!
Ive described above how you can wax your self 'down there'

Are you wanting to know how to wax your legs?
Its so easy!
Clean the area (best use pre wax)
Look at which way your hairs grow, and apply the wax with the hair growth
And rub well!
The rip off FAST in the oppsite dircetion
Apply a soothing agent after (after wax, aloe vera is good as well)

I have oily skin (maybe combination skin as it does get red sometimes but it's really oily) - what would you recommend as a skin care regime? I've heard it's important to moisturise but I think it makes the oiliness even worse.
