Shaving Tips To Save Your Skin!


Nicks aren’t the only thing to worry about when ya start shaving. Dry skin, razor burn and ingrown hairs all get to even the most gorgeous of gams. But scoring smooth legs doesn’t have to be a summer bummer.
 
We chatted up master barber Diane Wood to nab her best-ever skin-savin' shaving tricks. Keep reading and you'll be a bump-free babe by beach time.
 
1. Get Buff

Ok, so you know to shave once you’ve been in the shower for a few (wet hair gives ya a better shave), but exfoliating is a crucial step when getting fuzz-free. “Try to exfoliate skin before shaving as this helps prevent in-grown hairs that are caused when the hairs curl back under the skin,” Diane shares.

 
2. Lather Up

Diane recommends using a shave gel over a cream. “It may feel good to have a lot of shaving foam on your legs but the fact is that the lather is created by surfactants (similar to detergents) which dry out your skin,” she tells us. Oh, and all of you girls who swear by a bar of Ivory and H20? “Soap or water alone can lead to dry and irritated skin.”


3. For the Fab Finish...

“After shaving, thoroughly rinse off any remaining shaving gel from your skin with cold water,” Diane spills. To avoid those pesky bumps, wait an hour before moisturizing. Apply your fave lotion, and you’re set!

MOD!!!
so my mom and my bestie's mom told us we could shave but only up to our knees. and a few nights ago my bestie told me her mom didn't recall telling her that she could only going to her knee, and said if you're going to shave, you should do your whole leg. So how do I ask my mom if i can shave my whole leg, all of the girls in the class shave their whole leg, even the ones younger than me and I'm the 3rd oldest girl in the class! Please help me! MOD!!!

MOD.MOD.MOD Umm so I have a problem. I recently learned how to flirt with guys from a couple friends, and it's been working really well so far. I got this really cute and nice guy to ask me out, and we have a date Friday night. But then I've been doing some mindless flirting with other guys, I guess to practice, and some other reallyyyyyy cute guy asked me out. And the guy is like one of the most popular guys in my school!! So of course I said yes. We're going out on Saturday night. I'm not attached to either guy yet, so is it okay to be going out with two guys at the same time? And my second question: I read somewhere that using conditioner in place of shaving cream leaves your legs feeling really soft, smooth, and exfoliated. Even if you use like dollar store conditioner. So it's a cheaper, better way. Do you know if this is true?

 

Hey girly, yep it's perfectly fine to talk to two guys at once. You're not in a relationship so you're not tied down to anyone. And you're young, you should be dating around. I've never heard that you should use conditioner. I'm not sure if it will irritate your legs, but try it out and see what happens. After all it is soap and it might make your legs softer. I think I'll try it too. Smile

Do should you to use gel or cream, cause i don't. Also i only have razor bumps on my knees, how do i get rid of them? Thanx!
Happy

 2010!

 

hey girl,

 

I like cream, because you can see it better on legs for shaving. Razor bumps go away with lotion! Put it on everyday after you shower.
