A flawless shave isn’t just about the razor – it’s the whole routine. With the right prep, technique, and post-shave care, you’ll get ultra-smooth, irritation-free skin every time. Here’s how to upgrade your shaving regime…

Step 1: Prep with Exfoliation

For the smoothest shave and less irritation, exfoliate the day before shaving. Our Vitamin C Body Scrub buffs away dead skin cells and helps to lift any ingrown hairs, creating a clean, even surface for your razor to glide over. The sugar-based formula not only polishes the skin but also boosts hydration, leaving your legs soft and radiant before you even pick up your razor!

Step 2: Smooth Shaving

When it comes to shaving, using the right products and tools makes all the difference. Always use a sharp, clean razor to minimise irritation and achieve the closest shave.

A nourishing, creamy formula ensures a smooth glide while locking in moisture. Our Ceramide Shower Cream doubles as a shaving cream, softening both skin and hair for an effortless shave. Packed with skin-loving ceramides, it also supports the skin barrier to prevent post-shave irritation.

Here are some top tips to help you get the best results:

• Avoid extreme water temperatures – Hot water can dry out your skin, while cold water won’t soften hairs properly. Warm water is the sweet spot!
• Shave at the right time – Waiting until the end of your shower (after 3-5 minutes in warm water) helps soften hair and open pores, reducing razor bumps.
  
• Choose your direction wisely – Shaving against the grain gives a closer shave, but if you have sensitive skin, start with the grain to reduce irritation.
  

Step 3: Post-Shave Hydration

Your shave isn’t complete without a little post-care for yourself and your tools! For your razor, always rinse it under warm water and leave it to air dry to prevent bacteria buildup and blade dullness.

For your skin, apply a moisturiser immediately after shaving to lock in hydration and soothe any potential irritation. Our Hyaluronic Acid Post-Shower Moisturiser is a time-saving essential. Best applied to damp skin, it draws in moisture for long-lasting, lightweight hydration.

Step 4: Maintaining Smoothness Between Shaves

Want to keep that silky-smooth feel for longer? Regular exfoliation is the key! Our AHA Exfoliator Body Lotion provides surface-level exfoliation to smooth your skin while maintaining hydration. Packed with Lactic and Glycolic Acid, this illuminating formula works to reveal softer, more radiant skin.

Pro tip: Use the AHA Exfoliator Body Lotion in the evening 2-3 times per week, but avoid using it immediately after shaving to prevent irritation.

By following these steps, you can enjoy long-lasting smoothness without irritation. So, next time you shave, take your time, use the right products, and show your legs some love.

Until next time,
