Shaving is no one’s favorite part of their shower routine, but it doesn’t have to be such a hassle. Using the right products in the correct order will have your legs feeling smooth longer, so you don’t have to shave as often. Exfoliation, cleansing, shaving and moisturization will all be covered in our Marbela approved, step by step shaving routine featuring some of the newest products to hit our online shelves. All it takes are a few good products to go from dreading your shaving routine to making it a part of self care night.
Exfoliate:
One of the simplest ways to enjoy smooth legs for longer is to use an exfoliant in the shower before shaving your legs. Exfoliants are designed to scrub away grime below the surface and remove dead skin so that the razor can get as close to the hair follicle as possible when shaving. In addition, exfoliating all that dead weight from your skin helps it to glow and keeps it smooth, too. This tends to lengthen the time you have before you have to shave those pesky hairs again. Marbela’s natural scrubs are full of sugar to help you physically scrub off dead skin cells, and they come in Peach Mango, Lemon and Coffee (coming soon)! All of the scrubs smell wonderful and serve as a great first step to any shaving routine!
Cleanse and Shave:
Once you have washed off the exfoliant and shed that excess skin, it is time to prepare your skin for a creamy layer of our Whipped Body Soap. There’s nothing worse than having to reapply shaving cream as it continually washes off while you try to shave and we believe we have finally found the solution to that. Whipped Body Soap is top tier because it doesn’t wash off as easily; therefore, you can broadly apply it before shaving and not have to worry about needing multiple applications. Any remaining whipped soap on your legs after shaving can be made sudsy with a little extra water. Cleansing and shaving all in one!
Moisturize:
The final step to the smoothest legs is simple: lock in that moisture! Lotions are great, but oftentimes after exfoliating and shaving, your legs need an extra boost of hydration. We recommend using an oil addition to your every day lotion. Many people use coconut oil for this, but we have a way to really elevate that. Natural Body and Hair Oil is a combination of a few natural oils that really aid in the saturation of your products. It is great for maintaining healthy skin all year round.
In Summary:
Shaving is a not-so-fun part of many of our skincare routines. However, there are specialized products to help each shave last longer and give you more time back in your day. Exfoliating, cleansing and hydrating are all crucial steps to the longevity of your shave and the smoothness of your legs so ladies, don’t skip out! Practicality coupled with wonderful smells that blend together to enhance your self care routine are what Marbela products are all about.
