Shaving is Too Messy

Are you supposed to use shaving cream in the shower? And is there another way to get rid of hair besides shaving? I know you should love body and your flaws, but sometimes it’s hard.

Shaving cream is meant for the shower, and will help you to get a smooth shave and avoid cutting yourself with the razor. But it can be tough to shave in the shower and keep the shaving cream from rinsing off before you’re done! If you’re not prone to razor burn, you can try shaving with just water. Otherwise, there are creams, waxing and laser hair removal.

Creams like Nair or Sally Hansen Hair Bleach are easy to pick up at the drugstore and may work depending on the thickness of your hair. Waxing is a bit more expensive and can be kinda painful, so talk to your parents if you’re thinking of waxing your own legs or going to a salon.

The other option is laser hair removal, but this is something you don’t want to do until you’re older and have tried other things. Laser hair removal is permanent, not to mention quite expensive. You can talk to your parents about it, and then maybe revisit the idea in a few years.
