Bikini trims at home made easy with Philips, Nair, Gillette, eos and Tend Skin!

Dealing with the bikini line has got to be the trickiest part of home hair removal so anything that can make it faster, easier and smoother is a winner in my books like the:

Philips Bikini Genie - $19.99 - offers ease, convenience and affordability for those looking to bikini trim at home. This little number’s small shape and compact design are ideal for taking on-the-go – making it a great option for beach vacations.

Product features include: a unique shape and ergonomic handle that allows for precision trimming; and safe rounded tips on the trimmer head that provide extra comfort and are also detachable to allow for easy cleaning and are fully washable. It even comes with a battery included so you can start using it right away!

Available at Shoppers Drug Mart, Walmart, Personal Edge, Amazon.ca and Jean Coutu

Nair Brazilian Spa Clay PerfectTemp Easy to Use Wax Strips for Face & Bikini - 40 double sided wax strips in 2 sizes and 4 after-use moisturizing towelettes - $9.99 - with innovative Heat-Advanced Technology to ensure the wax is at the perfect temperature so even an idiot like me can figure out when to use - when warming the strip by hand, the Nair logo fades away when the strip is warm, signaling that the strip is now ready to use!

Effective even on short hair with long lasting results for up to 4 weeks.

Available at drug and mass merchandisers.

Or go traditional with:

Gillette Venus Spa Breeze Razor - with 2 refills - $15.99 - offers an easy, close shave thanks to built-in shave gel bars that flex - simply wet the razor for light lather - with an easy to grip handle that won't get away from you in the shower. And even though you don't have to use a separate shave cream, I don't find there is enough lather for my taste so I like to use:

eos 24-Hour Moisturizing Shave Cream - 207ml - $3.99 - in Pomegranate Raspberry, Vanilla Bliss and Fragrance Free Sensitive - in a paraben-free formula packed with natural conditioning oils, shea butter and vitamins C & E for soothes and soften your skin while shaving and afterwards for a full 24 hours. I especially like the bottle is plastic making it rust-free!

Available at Rexall, London Drugs, Loblaws, Jean Coutu and Uniprix.

No matter what you use the downside to de-furring such a delicate area is that you are bound to end up with razor bumps and ingrown hairs - go check the boy's medicine cabinet and steal his:

Tend Skin - 118ml - $20 - for unsightly razor bumps, burn and ingrown hair - what used to be used on the boy's face and neck also works great on our legs, underarms and bikini lines! Apply it morning and night on dry skin until the problem clears up - it feels soothing so the affected area will feel better right away - and then daily to maintain. Outside of hair removal, it's also great on skin irritated for any reason, I've been using it on mosquito bites this summer and it takes the sting right away!

You can grab some when you are perusing the new fall nail colours - Nail Polish Canada is now carrying it - www.nailpolishcanada.com.
