Some women choose not to wax, and remember, body hair is not a “bad thing” no matter the season. But for others, who prefer to shed their body hair, the uphill battle against summer body hair has only just begun!
Exfoliating, shaving, depilating in the easiest, fastest and most effective way possible is our main beauty mission. But after getting rid of the hair, another problem arises: not seeing the famous little annoying post-shaving pimples appear, a phenomenon which incidentally has a name: folliculitis.
> To avoid the appearance of unsightly pimples and scars, you have to start from the base, that is to say hair removal, which must be done in a certain way and with good products. Remember first that you should never epilate the area in the opposite direction of regrowth, but always in the direction of the hair. Also, the blade must be changed or at least disinfected with each shave. Finally, cleaning the skin well before and after shaving helps prevent the appearance of pimples.

> After shaving, hydration is ESSENTIAL. Did you know ? It is not the action of the razor against the skin that causes the appearance of pimples, but the lack of hydration! This is why, after depilation and shaving, you must apply a rich cream or natural oil to ALL depilated areas.

Immediately after waxing, spray a small amount on the waxed area and the little pimples after shaving will be just a bad memory!
