- Use Light colours, large widely-spaced prints and metallic sheens to make either your top or bottom "pop" and appear more curvy.
-Go for boy shorts as it can add more horizontal cut, go with accessories like a belt or loop for sexy curvy hips.
- Circular prints like polka dots.

If you have heavy top(big boobs), you need to
- have the right amount of support to keep the boobs in place.

Look out for:
- Bikini Tops or One piece suits with wide straps and underwire. Avoid wearing thin straps top as it cannot support your bosom well and may go exposed easily.
- Tops with High neckline are the best minimisers. A bandeau top can help to flatten your breasts.
- Look for halter top bikinis as it provide gravity defying support with an upward pull. It also draw attention to your shoulder and away from your bustline.

- You can use a sarong and tie loosely at the hips

If you are flat chested, you need to
- give a boost to your chest with push up padding and patterns

Look out for:
- Bikini tops with horizontal strips or widely spaced prints. These create illusion of width and will do wonders to your chest.
-Buy padded bikini tops or those bikinis that can let you slot in your own padding.
- Go for string bikinis or underwired bra with half cup shape.

If you have tummy, you need to
- cover your tummy and prevent the fats from protruding it out obviously.

Look out for:
- One piece suit or Tankinis and find those princess seams that work like corsets to give you hourglass silhouette.

Ways To Prevent Ingrown Hair

When you start shaving or waxing your armpit or bikini line, you may get red and painful bumps and ingrown hairs start when a hair shaft becomes trapped beneath the skin surface. It grow downward and ended up growing into the skin.

Shaving will irritate and clog follicles, trapping hairs inside. Waxing is a better choice but it often break the hairs rather than pulling up the roots of the hair.

Symptoms of Ingrown Hairs:
- raised, small bump and maybe painful
- Slight pus forms and it resembles a whitehead. Avoid squeezing as bacteria can spread to the surround follicles and can worsen the condition.
-Skin around the bump is itchy and sensitive

How to treat ingrown hair in bikini area or underarms?
- Exfoliate regularly
Swipe your bikini line before shaving or waxing with a salicylic acid toner. This will help to keep the follicles from plugging up and will preven clogging the follicles.

- Use a sharp, new blade every 4th or 5th shave
A dull razor will abrade skin and may deposit grime and bacteria that can irritate the hair follicles and can get higher possibilities of getting ingrown hairs. Use shaving cream and shave with a short downward strokes to preven bumps.

- Try a depilatory cream
Depilatory cream can dissolve hair at the skin's surface so there is lesser risk of entrapment. Try Veet Hair Removal Cream.
