If you have sensitive skin, you know what a struggle shave day can be when you don’t have the right products handy. Unfortunately, I learned this the hard way. My skin reacts to things as if it was a hobby or casual pastime. So I’m sure it’s not surprising that I’ve had a few bad bouts of razor burn in my life. The redness and swollen bumps that can follow shaving are never fun to deal with, but I’ve finally learned that adding one simple and affordable product to my shower lineup can change all that.
Yep, I’m talking about investing in a good shaving cream. I know shaving creams are nothing new, but I’ve never liked using one because it feels like an unnecessary extra step. However, if you, like me, have sensitive skin, you don’t want to skip this step.
