amirite? I kinda know that I am. Let’s not waste our precious razors.
As if I needed a reason to chill on the shaving.
No matter where you live, we all know that there has been way too many days that we’ve wanted to be outside but couldn’t. I’ve had a couple moments where my almost glowing white legs shocked the world already this year in a pair of cut offs.
Did I shave my legs for this?

Being a hairstylist myself, I can totally see my hair locks and my body hair getting more wild. I wish someone would tell me it is a problem. (Note the sarcasm.)
We may not be shaving and we may not be doing our regular bathing suits search, but don’t forget to take care of yourself and tell your significant other to shut it. Quarantine is no joke. Quarantine is also a perfect time to give our regular beauty regimens a break to better serve our skin and hair. Below are ways to keep that previously shaved skin healthy; and require little effort.
- truly exfoliate your entire body in the shower
- rinse out hair products and body soaps with cool water
- never attempt to shave with an old razor
- moisturize, moisturize, moisturize
- skip anything tight
As a way-too-hairy-female, I cannot express enough how important exfoliation is. During a regular stressed morning, I’d skip it. Now with all this extra time, my skin is getting happy.
Still do what you do to feel sexy for you
Finding balance is key. The regular before-a-date showers aren’t happening, but don’t forget how important it is to feel sexy for yourself. I, myself, am struggling stuck at home, but even as I write this Im thinking of the stupendous shower I am about to embark on and maybe even wash my hair! Whaat?!
I know.
- do brush your hair; even if to go back up in that messy bun
- do apply makeup at some point; don’t forget how!
- do apply that facial moisturizer you always said you would regime
- purposely scrub your arms, legs, and torso
- leave your conditioner in all day; then take another shower
our skin is our biggest organ. and now we have time to love her!
if you’re lucky enough for a romp
Don’t be lazy. Stream up a good shower, making sure all of your follicles are softened. Slather your appropriate shaving soap or cream and go to town.
Making sure your razor is clean, make it a point to rinse out any extra cream or hair that may compile in your razor blades until finished. Especially during this quarantine, those blades will fill up fast. Rinse and repeat. Rinse and repeat. I mean, would you eat with a dirty fork?! Nope. When shaving, as we all know, cuts and nicks can easily happen. Let’s for the love of all of the universe not infect anything on purpose!
