Pre shave routine
I love exfoliating for a nice smooth shave so I have all that dead skin build up taken off. I personally prefer a salt scrub because sugar scrubs can transfer bacteria around the body. I also personally feel like I get a better exfoliation from a sal...
Glow & Radiance Salt Scrub with Pure Epsom Salt & Citrus - Dr Teal's
Bikini area scrub. This scrub is great at what it does but still gentle enough at the same time. Safe for the bikini area. Helps get rid of stubborn ingrown hairs.
Deck Scrub Original
A more gentle gentle scrub I like to use. Smells really good and is moisturizing.
Dove Exfoliating Body Scrub for Women Brown Sugar and Coconut Butter, 15 oz
Another form of exfoliation I like to use. I do it all over my body before the shower about twice a week. I go in circles. It helps kick up dry skin and helps blood circulation.
Bare Botanics Dry Brushing Body Brush (Palm Size)
Shaving cream
I use this for all my shaving needs. It’s super thick like a lotion so remember to rinse off your razor so you can still get a close shave. The scent is not overwhelming but it’s nice and comfy. It does help moisture the skin I like to think of it as...

Shavers
I just got this razor and so far it’s a game changer. It’s really sharp and gives a close shave. I don’t need to shave as often as I was previously. My shave lasts longer and it’s closer. Makes me also feel smoother.
Pubic Razor for Irritation-Free Shaving - Flamingo
I like to use men’s razors too they usually are a tad bit cheaper, last longer, and give you a close shave. Who cares if it’s branded for men it still works great even better than some women’s razors.
Gillette Fusion5 Razor for Men - Handle + 1 Razor Blade Refill
Post shave aftercare
I recommend tea tree oil if you do get ingrown hairs. You can’t use this bye it’s self you would need a carrier oil or lotion/moisturizer with it.
UpNature 100% Pure Organic Tea Tree Oil 2oz
Vitamin e oil is always a good carrier oil or oil in general it is very hydrating for the skin. Mix this and tea tree oil for ingrown hairs.
Vitamin E Oil Blend 75,000 IU for Skin
Good bikini safe moisturizer that helps with ingrown hairs. It’s not too thick where it’s clogs or weights down your skin.
Deck Polish Original
Good overall body lotion I like to use. It isn’t too thick or too thin. It also absorbs fast it doesn’t sit on top of the skin or leave skin feeling greasy. Also smells really good.
NIVEA Cocoa Butter Body Lotion with Hyaluronic Acid, 72 Hr Moisturizer, Holiday Gifts, 20 fl oz
This is a great affordable overall body oil. This can also be used with the tea tree oil. It smells really good and it absorbs into the skin well. Pairs well with lotion.
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Body Oil with Vitamin E: Instant Hydration and Radiant Glow, 8.5 fl oz
As an aesthetician i like to recommend this to people struggling with ingrown hair especially in the bikini area. You can also use in over all or in the tub for to moisturize. This oil is a thinner oil designed so it doesn’t clog pores.
0.5 oz Fur Oil - Fur | Ulta Beauty
Not too thick or thin consistency. I like this scent specifically because it’s not an overpowering coconut scent but still good. Really does hydrate.
