SHAVING CREAM ALTERNATIVES THAT WILL HELP YOU PREVENT RAZOR BURN

 Hi, babes! Emma here, and I don't know about you but the sweet song of warmer days is definitely calling my name, which in turn means I need to shave my leggies if I'm to wear that cute dress I bought ages ago and haven't worn yet. But... I ran out of shaving cream. 

If you're in a similar position and are thinking of just shaving without any lubrication, fear not, because I have some alternatives for you when planning ahead fails, or just life happens. Move the razor from your bare leg, it's time for the top five shaving cream alternatives.

So, when the above mentioned happens to you, what are these substitutes? Chances are, you've got some fairly useful stuff laying around your house. Let's see if I'm right, shall we? 

Coconut Oil

It goes without saying that coconut oil has many skincare advantages, but it also functions well as a substitute for shaving cream. Because of its additional moisture, this fatty acid-rich oil makes an excellent alternative to shaving cream by shielding the skin's surface from the pulling forces that razors often produce. But beware: coconut oil is heavy and one of the more comedogenic oils, so if you have acne-prone skin you might want to avoid using it.


Aloe Vera Gel

Remember that nasty sunburn you had a while ago and the only thing that helped you cool it off was aloe vera gel? Still got a tub of it in your bathroom? Yeah, I thought so. From treating breakouts to healing sunburns, aloe vera gel has been formulated for many kinds of skincare requirements. Even as a shaving gel, it performs miracles. This calming gel will make the razor slide more easily across the skin.

Body Lotion
Because of their moisturising qualities and creamy texture, body lotions are a fantastic alternative to shaving cream. As you shave, a body lotion will hydrate and soften hair. Before shaving, apply the lotion to your skin and it will make it easier for the razor to move smoothly across your body.

Body Oil
If you're as fascinated with skincare as I am, your bathroom probably has one or maybe more bottles of body oil. Applying body oil to your legs will help to soften the hairs as you shave. Additionally, it will guarantee that your skin is velvety smooth after shaving.

Body Wash
When you've used every last drop of your shaving cream, simply grab your body wash while you're in the shower. Body washes can replace shaving cream since they produce a beautiful lather on your skin and hydrate it while you shave.

So there you go babes, my shaving cream alternatives that will have you asking "shaving cream who?". You can put the razor back near your leg now, provided you have a shaving cream alternative handy.

Bye for now!

Love,
Emma

COLLAGEN: INGREDIENT DEEP DIVE

 Hi, babes!  Emma here with a little semi-deep dive into collagen. You've heard about it, you've seen supplements being advertised, and you have some inside you at the very moment, but how much do you actually know about it? Let's pick it apart today, shall we?  It is impossible to discuss anti-aging skincare without bringing up specific elements, one of which includes collagen. What's behind it though? The most significant structural protein in our skin, collagen is also responsible for providing us plump, youthful-looking skin, among other functions. But over time, our collagen degrades due to ageing and other external factors. We resort to whatever we can get our hands on the quickest in an effort to replace that lost collagen, be it collagen lotions, collagen-stimulating substances, collagen supplements - the list really is endless. Things might be rather overwhelming with all the various collagen skincare products on the market, which is why I'm here to guide y...

DARK UNDERARMS? NO PROBLEM

Image
Hi, babes! Emma here, and today I'll be sharing some tips for lightening your underarms. I'm sure that many of you, including me, have encountered this issue so here's some things that have worked for me. But first, a little breakdown on why this happens.  How do I brighten my underarms? was a question my sister and I asked our mum when we were in our teens. She told us that this was a question she was very well used to and we weren’t the first to ask or wonder about it. She said the issue humbled her greatly because it was a hard thing to treat, but she’d try.  So here are some tips and pearls of wisdom my mum, a dermatologist of over twenty years of experience, shared with us that I’ll in turn share with you.  Before we get into the how, I first need to tell you the why. Underarm skin is delicate. In terms of depth, it is analogous to eyelid skin. This means that it is very easy to irritate this skin, and unfortunately, irritation also produces additional pigmentation. ...

WHAT'S A MICROBIOME AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

Hi, babes! Emma here, and today we'll be talking about something quite interesting. By that, I mean that we'll be learning out our skin's microbiome, the gut-skin relation, and of course nutricosmetics, which have been a strong trend these past few years when it comes to the beauty industry. Without further ado, let's dive right in. How frequently are we asked about our skin type when it comes to its qualities? The usual kinds, such as sensitive, normal, combination, oily, or blemish-prone, are therefore automatically used. Not that this terminology is inaccurate, but we can no longer make such straightforward inferences about our skin. Our skin is not as rigid or static as one might believe given that it is a complex organ. Understanding how our skin responds to the environment has an impact on how we take care of it. Skin Type vs Skin Condition We might comprehend that there are several "types" of skin, including normal, combination, dry, oily, and sensitive...
