Shave
My shaving secret is to shave with aloe vera shaving cream. Why?
“Hempz White Peach Rosé & Peony Herbal Shave Gel is enriched with 100% Pure Natural Hemp Seed Oil and blended with essential extracts, aloe and skin conditioning properties to hydrate, condition and help protect the skin while shaving.”
Avoid ingrown hairs, and razor bumps by using an aloe vera shave gel rather than a cream.
Aloe is a natural anti-inflammatory
Eases irritation caused by shaving
Body Wash
You recognize this part, body wash ensures a fresh and clean full body, washing off all the dirt from the day, I prefer to use a loofa rather than a rag because of the lathering effect, to partner with a body wash that smells amazing. I use a vegan body wash that is not tested on animals.
