What's with the stubble?

  • Just shaved my legs, but I'm still seeing roots!
How come when I shave the next day it comes back? It’s so irritating!

Girly, this one has been haunting women all over the world for ages. 

Unfortunately, shaving alone won't do the trick to banish those pesky hairs for very long.  Every single hair you have on your body is very much like the saying, "the tip of the iceberg." When you shave, you only whack off the top of the hair, what sits up and out of the skin.

In reality, like an iceberg, the hair doesn't end at what you can see, it actually extends much further into the hair follicle. So every time you shave, it's just waiting to poke back out a few hours later.  That's how you always end up with that pesky stubble not too long after shaving.

 

If what you have in mind is keeping your legs silky smooth for a few days at a time, you might want to switch over to waxing, which pulls out the entire hair, not just what's sitting up on top of the surface.

i know that this is off topic but can u give me some ideas for christmas presents for my 10 year old sister who is kinda like a tomboy but girly to, and my younger sister who is 8 and is really into like lots of stuff. oh and it would help if it was stuff that was a good price and that i can get at my local store or pharmacy. thnx!


Hey girl, mhm you could make a list for both sisters of all the things they like. Have a set budget for each one, and then head to Wal Greens, CVS, Rite-Aid, Wal-MArt and Target and see if anything in those stores match your list. Hope this helps!! Smile Smile

okay, so I want to start shaving and I don't want it to be extremely stubbly, is there any type of razor you recommend??? I also wanted to know, if you have to use any cream to shave if your in the shower??? Please write back soon!!!!




Hey girlie,

First off, you'll want to gather up all the materials you'll need. You definitely need a shave gel whether you're shaving in the shower or not - I use Skintimate Moisturizing Gel because the scents are great! Yumm, mango Smile Next, you'll need the razor. All girls have their own favorite razors, but mine are BIC Soleil. They come in fun colors and have three blades for a super close shave. Then, hop into a warm shower to open up those pores and get your legs ready. Get them wet, then use the shave gel to lather up your legs. Get your razor wet, then shave in the direction that the hair grows. Rinse the razor after each swipe...and repeat til your legs are smooth and soft <3

Hey, i get reallllly stinky discarge, like as soon as i get out of the shower i smell it. I wear panty liners during the day, but i don't at night. Is there somthing wrong with my discarge?? Thanks in advance!




Hey girl,

All discharge has a "smell" - it's kinda gross and, when it's really heavy, we smell it more. It can totally make you feel dirty, even right after you step out of the shower! Yuck. But the discharge should never be a strange color/texture (greenish, chunky white) or fishy in odor. If it doesn't just smell normal - but smells bad - it wouldn't hurt to ask your doc to make sure everything is normal and healthy down there! Smile
