If you’re still nicking your man’s razor to shave your legs, please stop – there are much better ways to pamper your pins. Sugaring, a natural alternative to waxing, is about to get a lot more accessible. Currently you can get sugaring kits by ringing (09) 536 4453 but word is, sugaring products are on their way to supermarkets soon. The special mixture of water, sugar and lemon juice is fantastic if you have sensitive skin or allergies to the chemicals in some waxing products. No more red bumps after hair removal – prepare to be impressed.
Ah, the trusty old razor-in-the-shower trick – I’m a big fan of the Gillette Venus range. It gives you a really close shave. Gillette Venus Divine has an improved blade and their Satin Care Shave Gel comes in the gorgeous oceania fragrance. Gillette also offers the Venus blade in disposable form.
Here’s something else that works – the Schick Intuition all-in-one razor . As busy women, we know that every minute counts and this new system saves heaps of time. No mucking about – simply pick it up, wet the head and shave away. It’s also great for travelling or throwing in your gym bag. And there’s no need to use shaving foam as it’s built-in.
Nair Precision oousse Hair Remover and Veet Rasera Hair Removal Gel Cream have nifty nozzles that make evenly distributing the product on your skin easier. The Veet gel even comes with a great little razor-shaped spatula for removing the foam when its work is done.
TIPS
Remember to avoid any waxing during your period – it’s a lot more painful.
For the closest shave, shave your legs from the ankle up – but if you are getting a reaction (like red bumps or small cuts), try shaving downward in the direction of hair growth.
Exfoliating your legs before any hair removal helps achieve smoother results.
