Cheat Sheet
1 Clean skin with a wet washcloth or a facial toner.
Pat dry and dust baby powder on the area. 2 Place a towel on the floor in front of a full-length mirror, then sit on the towel with one leg bent so the flat of your foot rests against the inside of the opposite knee. 3 Dab wax on your inner wrist to be sure it's not too hot, and check the consistency -- it should drip like honey. Use an applicator to take out a thin, inch-long ribbon of wax. 4 On the inner thigh of the bent leg, starting at the bottom of the inner edge, use the applicator to spread the wax. Follow the direction of hair growth, covering an area that is one inch wide and three inches long. Press a muslin strip over wax right away. 5 Hold skin taut with one hand while you rip off the strip in the opposite direction. Reduce pain by peeling the cloth back toward your stomach -- not straight up. Repeat the process working your way along one side of the bikini line and then the other, finishing on the top. 6 Use a thin line of wax to fix uneven borders -- avoiding waxed skin. Clean up strays with tweezers. 7 Remove any wax residue with a cotton pad soaked with baby oil. Wipe skin clean with a damp washcloth, and apply pure aloe-vera gel or an aloe-rich lotion.

The Waxes
* If you have very dark hair or have never waxed before, the hairs may be thick and coarse. A cream wax, such as Jilbere de Paris European Waxing System Deluxe Cream Wax or Sally Hansen Extra Strength Bikini Waxing & Shaping Kit (1), is ideal (Jilbere de Paris, sallybeauty.com; sallyhansen.com). * A professional wax heater heats quickly and evenly. The pros like Gigi Wax Warmer and the Gigi All Purpose Honee Wax (2) that comes with it (Gigi, aiibeauty.com). * Perfectionists will love Poetic Waxing Kit (3), with thin spatulas for detail work (Poetic, blissworld.com). * Choose wax made with skin-soothing ingredients such as lavender, chamomile, and azulene. Try Clean + Easy Sensitive Pot Wax (4) or Satin Smooth Aloe Wax (Clean
