Bikini Line Bumps
I get these gross bumps along my bikini line every time I shave there. What’s the deal?
For smoooooooth shavin’ this summer season, dermatologist Dr. Janee Steinberg, board medical director of Advanced Cosmetic Laser Center in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., offers some simple suggestions. Cover the area with water and coat with a generous layer of lathered shaving cream—try a cream specifically for the bikini line. Don’t go over the same area more than once with your razor, always use a fresh blade, and only shave against the hair growth. Dr. Steinberg recommends Tend Skin (available at drug stores) between shaves to keep skin soft and smooth.
