BACKGROUND TO BIKINILICIOUS

To all who have the ingrown hair problem I will share my background to the launching of BIKINILICIOUS and how it all began. My quest began several years ago after having waxed thousands of clients over 20 years. I found one common problem that 80-90% of my clients experienced: INGROWN HAIRS.

For years I have wanted to help suffers from ingrown hairs (myself included) I wanted to find a solution. My desire was to develop a product that would alleviate the suffering from annoying ingrown hairs and help reverse the awful blemish scarring that occurs. I decided to investigate and learn more about the infamous ingrown hair which I find personally unsightly and one addition to our bikini area that we just don’t want !!

In my search for ingrown-hair products I came to realise there was nothing out there that had been developed specifically for the bikini area. I gathered as much information on ingrown hairs as I could, looking to find a product that worked - anything that could possibly help people with this problem. I shared whatever information I found and every newly discovered ingrown- hair product I came across with my clients in the hope that it would work, but each time to no avail. My clients also shared their experience of products they had tried that I didn’t know about. Eventually a few years ago there was a product on the market that worked well and with the help of a chemist, we isolated some of the ingredients that were necessary to make a good ingrown hair product, this marked the beginning.

From there I began my research into what ingredients would be beneficial and blend well together with the help of my chemist. My desire was to use all natural ingredients but I learned from the chemist that for the product to be most effective some of the ingredients had to be unnatural . Finally, a few years ago, I decided on the ingredients I wanted, that when blended together, would function synergistically. I wanted to produce a before and after wax-care product specifically for our sensitive bikini area to combat ingrowns. An Exfoliating and Healing product that when used would benefit our skin in more ways than one, to reduce the break-out cycle of ingrown hairs, help to clear up those discolouration reddish brown marks and more.

WHAT ARE INGROWN HAIRS?

An ingrown hair is a condition where the hair doesn’t grow up to the skin surface and exit the pore. Instead the hair is trapped and grows under the skin, spiralling beneath the surface causing irritation. Although ingrown hairs can happen naturally, it usually occurs after many hair removal methods. Ingrown hairs are unsightly, painful and often look like little black dots or swollen red bumps on the skin. They are common, they’re a nuisance and some people just get them (myself included). Ingrown hairs can affect anyone.

WHAT HAPPENS AND WHY DO WE GET THEM?

I would like everyone to understand how ingrown hairs can occur in layman’s terms based on my experience. Our biggest mistake is picking and prodding these ghastly ingrown hairs. What happens on a microscopic level is that when we start squishing the skin to try and remove the ingrown hair, we are actually making mincemeat out of our poor skin. What we have created by picking is scar tissue, and once the damage is done it is done for good.

In the body’s innate intelligence the skin attempts to heal and repair itself by knitting together and regenerating new layers of skin, blocking the hair’s pathway. So the hair will twist and grow under the skin

Until it finds another exit to grow from. Naturally like a plant the hair grows to the surface and the light.

Along the bikini line are strong, deep rooted hairs. Waxing is popular and slows the hair growth but it literally pulls the hair out from the root. If we can imagine, from the skin’s perspective this is traumatic to the skin and root sac (where the root bulb is connected). Each hair with its root bulb is attached and connected to the rest of the body, and sometimes in the process the root sac is damaged. We can imagine the wound and the hole that would be left where the living hair was pulled out. Symptoms of ingrown hairs can include itching, a purplish red rash and pustules. Some people are more prone to ingrown hairs than others and it is quite common to want to pick at the offending ingrown hair, but if infection gets into the pore it can cause havoc to your skin.

So what can we do to help reverse this problem? The number one ingrown hair solution is regular exfoliation.

WHAT DOES EXFOLIATION DO AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

Exfoliation removes dead skin, rejuvenating our skin and making it look lovely, healthy and naturally beautiful. Exfoliation should be the main focus of a homecare program for ingrowns. What exfoliation does is create blood flow to the bikini zone, This increased blood flow draws infection & hair to the surface to be released. Exfoliate daily for a bump free smooth skin! But don’t expect a miracle overnight. This is a regime that needs to be done regularly and ongoingly, especially if you want to keep the bikini zone hair-free.

Regular daily exfoliation is essential in helping to eradicate the ingrown hairs. My product ‘Bikinilicious Ingrown Exfoliatus’ is an exfoliating scrub, developed specifically for the bikini and brazilian waxed area. Pharmaceutical grade ingredients, acids, enzymes & antibacterial products specifically for skincare to help to draw out the ingrown hair, help in preventing more ingrowing hairs, help reduce the discolouration marks & help to reduce the chance of micro-organisms infecting the skin. Following a regular regimen of using an exfoliating glove one day, and alternating with my exfoliating scrub Bikinilicious Ingrown Exfoliatus the next day, though it cannot reverse scar tissue,

My other product whichI have developed specifically for the bikini & brazilian waxed area, is ‘Bikinilicious Ingrown Healing Balm’, this products works together with my Bikinilicious Ingrown Exfoliatus.
‘Bikinilicious Ingrown Healing Balm’ a gel formulation with pharmaceutical grade ingredients, acids specifically for the skin, enzymes & antibacterial properties combined to draw the ingrown hair out, to heal the skin and to achieve the right balance of drying and moisturising, it. will give a clean, fresh feel to the skin. The simple daily application of this ingrown gel, used after exfoliation, is designed to repair, nurture and rebuild the skin and speed up the process of regeneration of a new layer of skin. A small dab gently on skin goes a long way.

Bikinilicious has a unique formulation specifically made for our bikini area, ingrown exfoliatus and ingrown healing balm work wonders for the bikini/brazilian waxed area, this is a new revolutionary idea that makes perfect sense!

TAKE NOTE: The delicate skin in the bikini area is extremely vulnerable when newly waxed, especially the first 48 hours. It is the time of healing for the body so it’s important to keep this area clean and cool. It is best to wait 2 or 3 days for the skin to settle down before using Bikinilicious Ingrown Exfoliatus or Bikinilicious Ingrown Healing Balm.

HOW TO EXFOLIATE

  • Begin by wetting/washing the waxed area zone of skin to be exfoliated using warm water.
  • Gloves: Use exfoliation gloves to exfoliate.
Alternating the next day
  • Scrub: Apply Bikinilicious Ingrown Exfoliatus onto damp skin, applying to the waxed area. (But careful not to exfoliate on the genital area).
  • Making smooth circular motions on the skin, gently massage the V area, and underwear line that meets the top of the thigh, for approx 60 seconds.
  • With warm water just splash off when you feel you’ve exfoliated enough.
  • Gel: After either of the daily exfoliation processes (when you’re out of the shower and dried off) complete the process by applying a small amount of Bikinilicious Ingrown Healing Balm onto the skin daily.

WARNING: Best to not use during pregnancy.

TAKE NOTE: 'Take care not to apply the Bikinilicious Ingrown Exfoliatus or Bikinilicious Ingrown Healing Balm onto genitals. Only on the V area, and underwear crease line that meets the top of the thigh.

Many clients expressed the desire to find a solution to the ingrown hair problem caused by waxing and shaving. Bikinilicious Brazilian Wax Aftercare products can be used anywhere on the body where exfoliation is needed, but my main reason for developing these products is for all the bikini and Brazilian waxers out there (myself included) who are wanting lovely, healthy looking, smooth, hair-free skin. I firmly believe, if you are a hair removal buff and wax ongoingly, following a simple daily routine as recommended is essential. It is a must! you cannot expect to make a difference if a regime is not followed regularily. It usually takes up to 3 months or so to see a notable difference.

I started using Deneze's product 8 weeks ago and within the first week I began to notice results. I had always experienced painful ingrowns that would eventually result in infection and scarring, even exfoliating would be painful. Since using the Bikinilicious exfoliant and gel the changes have been amazing! I don‚t suffer from the painful and infected ingrowns I used to have. I would get at least 15-20 ingrown hairs, and now I only get about 5! I know that they will lessen even further as I continue using bikinilicious. The products are gentle on the skin, smell great and are so easy to use. I love that they are made using natural ingredients. I would definitely recommend bikinilicious to anyone that is suffering from ingrown hairs, the results are truly amazing!

Testimonials

WOW, WOW and even more WOW! Bikinilicious is an awesome product. I have always had trouble with ingrowing hairs after a wax, usually ending up with 8 – 10 ugly lumps and bumps, some turning red and angry! Other products have never really made much difference and I would often wonder whether it would be better to be hairy rather than spotty! Since I started using Bikinilicious a few months ago I have had no ingrowing hairs! Even old scar blemishes and scars are fading! Thank you Deneze I love Bikinilicious!
Emily

Using the aftercare products Bikinilicious really made a difference as I would get re-occuring ingrown hairs that would often get nasty. Only after a week I noticed a difference and havent had a problem since. I recommend this product to anyone who waxes!!! I also use on my upper lip and eybrows occasionally. Thank you Deneze for Bikinilicious!!

Early last year, I made the decision to move away from regular shaving and give Brazilian waxing a go. Although I found the service and both Deneze and Jennifer fantastic, at Brazillian Wax Xpress, it was not long before I grew tired of painful, ugly ingrown hairs. These were a significant part of the waxing process for me, that I did not enjoy at all. I tried a number of over-the-counter products to reduce these, to no avail. Due to this, I decided to cease waxing midway through last year. However, after an uncomfortable return to shaving, I resolved to try waxing again in January this year. Not long after, Deneze released her new product: Bikinilicious. I have used Bikinilicious since April this year and after the first month of use, I saw a marked reduction in ingrown hairs. As I continue to use this product, these reduce even further. I thoroughly recommend Bikinilicous to anyone who waxes regularly! Thanks Deneze!

I have used Bikinilicious for 6 weeks now and had amazing results in regards to ingrown hairs. They have completely disappeared. Fabulous products. Thank you.

I have been seeing Denise on and off for around 2 years. Why I say on and off is because I have been very self conscious of the ghastly ingrown hairs that I get! Recently Denise brought out her new product Bikinilicious, I was at first quite sceptical to try it, as I have already tried ALL products on the market. Nothing ever worked, and most of the time the products were so strong that it would sting so badly that it was unbearable to use on such a sensitive area.
I have now been using the exfoliate and cream for only a month now, and I can absolutely not believe the difference it has made! I would usually get 10-15 really nasty ingrown hairs a month, and they would be awful! Since using the combined products, I have had maybe 3 but they are really small, not painful and not infected! I cannot wait to keep using the product and eventually never get a bad ingrown again, and even better I can get regular waxes , nothing to be conscious about now!
In my opinion this is the best product on the market! Not only that but Brazilian Wax Express is the cheapest wax in Auckland, in saying that, nothing is compromised. I have paid up to $80 for a wax, and it does not compare to Brazilian Wax Xpress It has friendly service, quick service, they are gentle and most importantly informative. I would never go anywhere else to get a wax! I highly recommend to anyone who gets ingrown hairs to give this product a try, trust me you will never use anything else ever again!!

Just thought that I would update you on Bikinilicous! It has been nearly 3 months now, and I have seen a dramatic improvement! (And still have some of the product left) As I said before, I would get nasty ingrowns, I had been to the doctor numerous times about them and no antibiotics or creams ever helped! Not only has your product made my ingrowns go away, it is helping with the scarring that I have. My scars have gone from dark and red, to almost unnoticeable!!
I think I still get ingrowns, my skin is obviously prone to them, but before I started using your product, they would grow really deeply under the skin and just would not come up! Bikinilicous is helping bring them up, hence why I believe I am not getting them anymore!
Honestly, I have gone from getting 10-15 per month, to maybe 2-3 a month, and they are really little and not painful or red! I can not believe that my scarring is going away, I never thought that would happen! And it literally takes two minutes to exfoliate and put the gel on!
Deneze you have created a miracle product! I am so much happier, it is amazing how much more confidence I have around my partner ( he has noticed the difference too). I will religiously keep using Bikinilicous and I can not wait to see what happens in the next few months!
Ayla

I have been using Brazilian Wax Xpress 'BIKINILICIOUS' product for the last month now, to help with my ingrown hair problem. I can honestly say No After Wax Product has ever worked so well for me.
After just the first week of use I noticed a huge difference in my skin and now after a month of use I am not
bothered with any pesky ingrown hairs like I have done in the past which I have struggled with a lot.
Deneze has really created a miracle product, one of which I have been recommending to my family and friends
and anyone else who may suffer with these awful ingrown hairs!
Thank you Deneze from Kelsey

The product is awesome! I also use it and am very impressed!
Haley

I have very sensitive skin and have had a lot of issues with ingrown hairs and had never found a product that works for both preventing ingrowns and healing damaged skin until I started using Bikinilicious. The product is lovely to use and I have already had amazing results. I would recommend everyone who has had ingrowns in the past to invest in this wonderful and affordable product.
Sophie S.

I have only been using Bikinilicious for 4 days now and can already see an improvement to an ingrown hair that I have, I am very pleased! Imagine what it will do in a month's time!! I recommend this to anyone who has problems with ingrowns.
Jennifer

Your product is amazing my skin has gone from spotty to almost flawless bar a couple of tiny spots that are almost gone.
It is 2 months on since I bought the exfoliator and the balm and I use your product religiously everyday, I have about a months worth left so your Bikinilicious is not only amazing in its ability to get rid of those ingrowing hairs but it last for 3 months and is a fantastic price!!!

You have made the miracle magic cure for my once ongoing problem. I am now not embarrassed about my bikini area anymore it actually looks really fab now thanks to you!!
Please use my testimony on your website as I really want to help in anyway I can, as you have made me the happiest client ever!
I also want to add and for potential customers – Deneze I hope you get Bikinilicious product out there to every corner of the world!!!

After your explanation to me of how you developed Bikinilicous I really understood why your product stands out from any other, the fact you have years of hair removal experience behind you, you know exactly what us waxers need to do to make the ingrowing hair problem not a problem, your expertise on this matter is amazing and to spend 7 years from start to go developing all aspects of your product by delving into what works and what doesn’t work has created a top product Deneze! VIOLA you have it made!!!

I admire your determination and brilliance at making a product that actually does what it is has been made to do, unlike a lot of products out there that I have spent $100s on that are suppose to work but actually don’t and you pay through the nose for, your product is worth its weight in gold!!

I love your unique name, which is fitting for your product ‘Bikinilicious Brazilian Wax Aftercare’ it really does say it all.
You have a unique system especially made for our bikini area, a scrub and a gel that work in unison together that no other product anywhere does the same, pretty amazing Deneze.

For all those wanting spot free bikini areas like myself I highly recommend buying Denezes product!!
