The onset of Spring, along with 70 degree temperatures in New York, has thrown us all into a frenzy of summer preparations. There are workouts to be done, spray tans to be booked, and bikini’s to try on.

You’re looking pretty cute, right?

Before strutting your hot self on the beach, do me a favor – look down. You know where I’m talking about. See those little bumps? They’re called in-grown hairs, and you get them from a hair trying to push its way through a clogged pore. They can ruin that adorable new DVF bikini.

Not to worry- there’s hope.

Exfoliating the area and waxing or shaving will help unclog pores. Our Bikini Bump Blaster will go the extra mile for smooth, bikini-ready skin. They’re round pads (super convenient and easy to use) that contain Salicylic and Glycolic acids that both treat existing in-growns, as well as preventing them ever occurring. Simply swipe the pads once a day over the desired area and watch that perfect skin appear.

If you don’t use our Bikini Bump Blaster pads, you can also get rid of in-grown hairs by exfoliating the area and then using pimple or acne cream with Salicylic acid available over the counter at any pharmacy.

Start now and loose the sarong this summer!

Hey, here’s a question from one our Facebook fans that pops up a lot, so wanted to blog about it:

Good morning Cindy, I have a couple of questions… Does laser hair removal work on all skin and hair types? I am an African American female tired of getting ingrown hair and it doesn’t mater what type of hair removal I use. Will this system remove the hair permanently? Also I heard that with darker skin you have to be much more careful. Thanks Dawn.

Hi Dawn, thanks for reaching out. Hair removal works on all skin types, except for when the hair is lighter than the skin tone. If you are African American you need to go to a hair removal specialist for darker skin to ensure that they are using a specific machine and parameters. The specialist should depict darker skin as a 5 or 6 on the Fitzpatrick skin scale. Have them do a test patch to make sure you don’t have any contraindications. Before you do this, make sure you’re not tanned, you don’t have any oil or moisture on your skin and you are not taking any light sensitive medications. Also, just so you know, darker skin will need more treatments than the standard 6 treatments for lighter skin. You would need 10-12 depending on the area. As for the problem with ingrown hair, laser hair removal is the only method that solves this problem.

At CB we have hair removal specialists that safely and effectively treat all skin types including skin type 5 and 6.
