How to Get Swimsuit Ready – For Men and Women

Summer will be here before you know it (in the USA). Will this be the year that you get into amazing bathing suit shape for the beach or the pool? Follow this fool proof plan, starting today, and you’ll be sure to turn heads this summer.

Step1 – This is important! Take out one of your favorite swimsuits or bikinis. Put it on and look at yourself in the mirror. Write down what you would like to change about your body and try to imagine how your body will look with those changes. Also try to imagine how you will feel about yourself after those changes occur.

Take a mental snapshot of how you look in the mirror and make mental note of the things you want to change. This will be extremely helpful as you get closer to the summer season. If you don’t like what you see in the mirror, don’t get discouraged. Get inspired!

Before you take off the bathing suit, look yourself in the eyes, and make a promise to yourself that you will stay committed to making the necessary changes.

Step 2 – Start exercising. Don’t get crazy here, because you will end up quitting. Sit down with your calendar or schedule and write in your workout days, times and places. Not every workout needs to be in a gym. Your home, a local park or even a local playground are great places to have effective workouts.

If you haven’t been working out, start slowly and gradually build up your time and intensity. If you have been working out, start to kick the intensity up a bit. In the course of a week, you want to complete 3 – 5 cardio sessions, each lasting 25 – 35 minutes and 2 – 3 resistance/toning sessions, each also lasting 25 – 35 minutes. This is general guideline. Some weeks you may be able to do more and some weeks less. It is ok to do cardio and resistance on the same days if that is what your schedule allows.

Step 3 – Write down everything you eat and drink in a notebook (or PDA). The true secret to having a beautifully defined body is calorie control. The easiest, most realistic way to get them under control is to keep track of them. Don’t be obsessive here or you will drive yourself nuts.

Most of our foods have easy to read labels that are easy to understand. Use the calorie info on your labels and record these numbers next to what you eat and drink in your journal. Knowing how many calories you are taking in makes it much easier to adjust if you hit a plateau while trying to lose body fat. This method may require a bit of work in the beginning, but it is the method that has helped many of my clients defeat the body fat monster more than any other method in existence.

Step 4 – Stay committed to your self. If times get challenging, remember your mental snapshot of you in the swimsuit and picture yourself on the beach in the upcoming hot weather season. Remind yourself of the goals you wrote down. You may even want to make few copies of your goals. Put a copy on your refrigerator, one on your work desk, and one on your bathroom mirror. If you are not making progress, add a little time to your workouts or tighten up on your calories a bit.

Step 5 – Realize that you are in control of yourself and that no outside force can keep you from what you are going to achieve. If you miss a workout, tomorrow is a new day. If you eat too much, or you eat junk food (it is ok to ‘cheat’ sometimes), let that fuel your motivation in your next workout. Better yet, before you even slip up with your nutrition, ask yourself this key question, “Is what I’m about to eat going to help me be swimsuit ready?” If you answer this question honestly, then the proper action will come next.

Don’t let your friends, family members or co-workers sabotage your efforts. Live according to what is important to you and acknowledge your own progress.

Your simple, new habits will be the magic that helps you get awesome swimsuit shape.

Laser Hair Removal Unwrapped

The laser has become a precision surgical instrument widely used for a variety of procedures. Most recently, lasers have been utilized for the quick, gentle removal of unwanted hairs. The laser works by sending a pulsating beam of light, of a particular wavelength to precise areas on the skin. The light passes directly through the skin, but is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle and shaft. Once absorbed by laser light, the follicles are impaired from future growth, and eventually die off. Laser hair removal has come a long way since the first laser for hair removal received FDA clearance in mid 1998. Older generation normal-mode ruby lasers were very slow, very painful and worked only on individuals with very dark hair and very light skin. Today, lasers can work on all skin colors and some lasers are even safe for treating tanned skin.

Lasers are not for everyone, and their proper use requires great skill, training and expertise. The laser technician at minimum must be a Certified Laser Specialist who has graduated from an accredited school for laser. Generally it is best to have a laser-trained dermatologist, or plastic surgeon perform the procedure, in case of complications. For the laser to be effective, the hair pigment must be darker than the surrounding skin pigment. If this is not the case, the treatment will not work and may have harmful complications. Additionally very darkly pigmented people absorb too much laser energy in their skin and are not ideal candidates. Tanned patients with light hair are not candidates either.

Light skin makes laser hair removal easier to perform. Fewer treatments are required, and better, faster results are obtained. People with darker skin can be treated, but results are slower, more sessions are required, and greater expertise is required on the part of the doctor. Coarse dark hair responds the best to laser treatment, light hair is more difficult to treat. Blonde or red hair is very difficult to treat, multiple treatment sessions are required, and results are variable. Laser hair removal must be individualized for each patient.

Although one laser session can produce impressive hair removal, generally, multiple treatment sessions are necessary to see optimal results. In large part this is due to the fact that laser hair removal is most effective for hair, which is in the growth phase. Since hair grows in cycles, not all of the hairs are in the growth phase at any given time. Additional sessions are necessary to catch all of the hairs when they are in this phase.

Any area, except adjacent to the eye, where there is excess hair can be treated. The most common areas requested are the face, upper lip, neck, chest, breast region, underarms, back, abdomen, bikini line, and legs.

The costs for a single laser hair removal treatment vary depending on the part of the country, and range from $300.00 to $500.00 per session. Consumers are advised, as with all forms of medical care, to seek the center of highest quality, rather than lowest cost. Laser hair removal requires a great deal of skill, individual attention, experience, and a trained, caring, professional staff.

After treatment, most patients have a mild sunburn-type sensation that fades in 2-3 hours. Moisturizers and/or cool compresses can help during this time. Small blister areas can be treated with topical antibiotic until resolved. Sun block should be used for up to 6 weeks after treatment if sun exposure is anticipated. No waxing, shaving, or dying should be performed for 2 weeks after treatment. Pretreatment restrictions are also applicable to the post treatment period.

It must be remembered that it is impossible to predict the exact result a patient will achieve with laser hair removal, especially with regard to how many sessions a given individual will require. The indication for laser hair removal is mostly subjective. A desire for hair removal is the only criterion for laser hair removal.

Does Shaving Your Bikini Lines Drive You Bonkers?

Considering the daring styles of swimwear many people, both male and female, are wearing today, no doubt keeping bikini lines in check is an important issue.

Even for those of us who don’t wear the more daring styles, making sure pubic hairs are not public hairs is a concern when getting ready for the pool or beach.

It’s not a simple matter of tucking your pubic hairs inside the legs of your suit, because they’re bound to escape. So it becomes a question of how best to remove the hairs at the bikini lines all together.

While many people may elect to use a depilatory lotion/cream or do a bikini wax at home or at a salon, shaving bikini lines is still the method most often used.

Now you may be thinking that the reason some people choose depilatories or waxing over shaving their bikini lines is because these alternative methods to shaving don’t irritate this sensitive skin. Truth is – That’s not the truth. At least not for most people.

If you speak with people who use a depilatory, (and they’re honest), they’ll tell you:

1) They’re messy

2) They smell pretty bad

3) They’re inconvenient – Because you have to wait for them to work, you have to be somewhere to be able to wash them off and they don’t always completely work, leaving you with patches of hair

And, most importantly –

4) The harsh chemicals more often than not leave your skin looking red and feeling raw, as if it’s just been burned, which basically it has …

And if you speak with people who choose waxing, (and they’re honest), they’ll tell you:

1) It’s messy

2) It smells pretty bad

3) It’s inconvenient – Because you have to wait for it to work, you have to be somewhere to be able to wash off the residue, it doesn’t always completely work with the first application so you have to do it again, and oh yes – IT HURTS! Even if you have it done at a salon, all of the above applies

And, most importantly –

4) The harsh chemicals more often than not leave your skin looking red and feeling raw, as if every hair has just been yanked out, which basically they have …

So – We’re back to shaving bikini lines.

The bad news is that most people who are shaving their bikini lines basically just grab a wet razor and have at it. So it’s no wonder that their skin looks red and feels raw, as if it’s just been scraped, which basically it has …

And even worse – Because bikini lines are areas that maintain a good deal of moisture and receive a great deal of friction, ingrown hairs become a major problem.

The good news is, anyone can learn that there’s a right way of shaving pubic hairs from the bikini lines and, perhaps even more important, that there is a much better tool than a wet razor for shaving this sensitive area.

Shaving your bikini lines doesn’t have to drive you bonkers!

All you need to do now is your own research about how to safely shave your bikini lines along with using a shaving device that’s better designed for bikini lines.
