Shaving Myths Debunked
Tip 1
Should I shave less often in winter?
Mini-skirts may not be part of your winter wardrobe but smooth legs are in style year round. Remember that regular shaving helps keep skin healthy and exfoliated. Using a nourishing shave gel like SatinCare instead of soap or water will minimize irritation and soothe dryness. Pair it with Venus Embrace, with a Ribbon of Moisture, for a close, curve-hugging shave that leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth.

When shaving your bikini area, wait 24 hours before sun exposure to protect the sensitive skin. Since bikini area hairs are naturally coarser, soak hair in warm water and apply a shave gel like SatinCare Sensitive Skin, specially formulated for sensitive areas like the bikini line. Hold skin taut so that it's level—like the skin on your legs. First shave in the direction of hair growth to shorten, then against the grain for extra closeness. Rinse the area in cool water to close pores—and moisturize.
