Hot dog or legs?
One thing I hate about being a girl is body hair. Why do we even have it?!
I have a constant struggle with maintaining my body hair because I am just too lazy... Having dark hair isn't your best friend when it comes to stuff like this.
I do have some products that make hair removal 10 times easier, if only they could get rid of the problem all together...
For my arm pits and my legs I use my all time favourite hair removal product which is the Lush D'Fluff Strawberry Shaving Soap. Bloody love this product. As I have said I am very lazy when it comes to most up keeping so using this product makes shaving my legs and armpits super easy. All you do is smother this all over the area you are shaving while in the shower like a body wash and do your thing. My skin can become iriated very easily especially with shaving but this soap leaves me skin super soft and smooth. 10/10 from me!
Now for my bikini area I do the worst thing imaginable... I dry shave. Alot of my friends pull faces when I tell them but I have done this since I was 14/15, it is what I am used to and to be completely honest the damage is done now. I have tried using the Lush Soap on my bikini in the shower but my skin didn't like that one bit. Any who I use the Braun Silk Epil Rasor to tidy up my bikini line and it does a pretty good job. The rasor is pretty hard core my first rasor lasted me until this year so it lasts a long time considering how much use it gets.
Lastly for the parts of the body which are not meant to have hair but really annoyingly they do, I have used the Veet Sensitive Skin Hair Removal Cream since I was little teen and it has always been a safe bet. You just rub the cream onto the area, leave for a few minutes and then scrap it off with the scraper that comes in the box. Sounds painful but it really isn't!
For the face I also have the Nair Argan Oil Facial Brush On Sensitive Hair Removal which is the easiest way to remove the super annoying hair above my lip. I brush the cream on for no more than 2 minutes and all the hair is gone. This cream doesn't always get every hair and sometimes it does leave a patch but it is much better than ripping the skin off your lip every time you wax.
I think its about time we opened up about our hair grooming habits as I hardly ever see any posts about it. Let me know what you use to remove your annoying hair and any recommendations for bikini and face hair removal is appreciated!
Since I was about 16 I have dry shaved my legs and bikini and waxed my armpits, that was my routine and I was happy with it, but I do regret it now a days because my skin is quite irritated from all the years of waxing and dry shaving. One shave with my trusty Wilkinson Sword Quattro and the Lush shaving soap and my bikini, legs and even armpits were incredible. I didn't really expect much from the soap as I have been shaving my body since I was about 15 and dry shaving your bikini is possibly the worst thing to do (I have learn since doing so) but the soap left my skin so soft and smooth and no sign of hairs or even shadow on all three places.
Warning: A little pre warning for you guys, I have very sensitive skin area my bikini which is why I have only ever shaved that area. Two days after using this shaving foam I came out in a horrible red rash around my bikini line where I used it. It may just be my skin being funny but I would be careful when using this around your bikini and do a small test patch first, silly me didn't and now i'm paying for it :(
The great thing about this product is that because it is from Lush there are no harmful ingredients to irritate me (about from my funny bikini skin) and I have even told my sister who has very sensitive skin and can only use Dove soap to try this out on her arms and legs as it is so good. You can use it in the shower and add water to it to cover your whole legs with and your ready to shave and you don't need a lot of product as it lathers up the perfect amount.
It feels very weird to be writing a whole post about a shaving soap and to be raving so much about it but it is the most incredible thing I have ever tried and makes shaving a whole lot easier and less painful. Lastly I want to add that because this is still shaving, this product doesn't magically spot the hairs from coming back and like shaving with any other soap, the hairs come back in a few days(that's one thing I miss about waxing). But this soap makes it super easy to get rid of the hairs in the shower when needed. I feel like I am going to go through so many of these pots but it is worth it, i'm trying to convince Cal to use this on himself!
