Savvy guide to sexy legs!
Ask yourself just five simple questions and see if you’re making the most of your legs.
Do you shave on the day of your big event or the day before?
DAY BEFORE Sure, if you have sensitive skin you might prefer to shave ahead of your big day.
ON THE DAY If you don’t have any skin concerns, you can shave on the day without any worry – but use a gentle moisturiser afterwards.
Do you run the razor over your skin once or lots of times?
ONCE This is ideal. To help, you can rub on a moisturising shaving gel first to soften hairs and make them easier to take off.
LOTS OF TIMES This will irritate your skin. If you find your razor isn’t giving you a good shave in certain spots, it’s more likely that you need to replace the blade.
Do you press the razor really close to your skin?
YES You shouldn’t need to! Use a moisturising shaving gel if you’re not getting a close enough shave.
NO That’s right. A light touch with a better quality razor is the best way to avoid cuts.
How often do you change your razor blade?
EVERY TIME There’s no need. If you’re not getting a decent shave even once, change to a better brand and use a good moisturising shaving gel.
ONE EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS Fine, you can probably use your blade as many as 10 times before replacing it.
Do you use one razor for legs, underarms and bikini area?
YES You’re right, you don’t need three different razors.
NO So long as it’s a fresh enough blade, it should suit all. However you’re right not to share your razor with your man, it’s not hygienic and yours is designed differently for your womanly shape!
