I’m a bikini waxer – you’re making a fake tan mistake & here’s the reason why your privates are kicking up a grim smell
A BEAUTICIAN has revealed the three things she wants people to know, including the vital fake tan mistake many are making.
The professional bikini waxer, Jessica Normanton, also got candid on the real reason why many women’s private parts are kicking up a grim smell after exercising.
But that’s not all, as the blonde beauty also shared a hack that will get rid of dark marks on your armpits and bikini line.
So if you want to look and smell fresh for summer, you’ve come to the right place and will need to take notes.
Posting on social media, the 29-year-old, who is from Halifax, West Yorkshire, and owns The Brazilian Wax Company, highlighted “the three things your coochie waxer wants you to know”.
Jessica then said: “I am a coochie waxer, so trust me when I say I have seen it all.
“So here are three tips from one girl to another.”
Fake tan error
First things first, Jessica, who previously claimed that pros don’t care if people have lumps or bumps when they go for a wax, shared the fake tan faux pas she sees all too often.
She acknowledged: “I see many butt cracks a day at work and let me tell you, if you are a fake tanner, you need to blend the tan into your bum crack.
“Otherwise it’s a sweaty, streaky line all the way down your crack.”
Banish nasty smells
Secondly, Jessica shared why many women will notice a grim smell after working out.
She expressed: “Let’s talk about gym leggings and that special aroma that comes with them down there – you know what I mean, you’ve just finished your workout and your coochie smells like it’s just got off the treadmill as well.
“Wanna know why that’s happening? It’s the material of your gym leggings.
“It’s polyester and nylon, and that makes a smell. It’s bacteria in there, basically turning your coochie into a sauna.”
How to prepare for a bikini wax
IF you're thinking of booking a bikini wax, here's how you can prepare.
Choose the Right Time: Schedule your appointment at least a week after your menstrual cycle when your pain threshold is higher.
Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate the bikini area a day or two before your wax to remove dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs.
Trim Hair: Ensure hair is about 1/4 inch long; if it’s longer, trim it down for a smoother waxing process.
Avoid Caffeine and Alcohol: Steer clear of caffeine and alcohol on the day of your appointment as they can tighten pores and increase sensitivity.
Take a Pain Reliever: Consider taking an over-the-counter pain reliever about 30 minutes before your appointment to help minimise discomfort.
Wear Loose Clothing: Opt for loose-fitting clothes on the day of your waxing to avoid irritation post-treatment.
Communicate with Your Aesthetician: Don’t hesitate to discuss any concerns or questions with your aesthetician before the session begins.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water leading up to your appointment to keep your skin hydrated and more supple.
As a result, Jessica advised: “Instead, look for materials that state they are moisture-wicking, or they are a cotton blend.
“Or if you are committed to the cute synthetic leggings, then get some cotton knickers – ladies, she needs ventilation.”
Say goodbye to dark marks
Finally, if you’re on a mission to banish dark marks, Jessica has the advice you need.
The beauty bro beamed: “Let’s talk about those annoying dark marks that show up on your underarms and your bikini line after you shaved it.

“I’ve got a trick up my sleeve – a day after shaving, apply Glycolic Acid on a cotton pad to clean, dry skin.
“Do it two to three times a week and I promise you, after four weeks you’ll see a huge improvement.”
Social media users react
Jessica’s TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @thebrazilianwaxcompany, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 179,100 views, 12,000 likes and 100 comments.
