Not 100% happy woth how it turned out. Wording can be hardbut sharing and talking about it helped me to accept myself better. Sisterhood and solidarity among women is very important.

    body shaved, now have itches and red bumps for few days, then it’s back to shave body again.

    wish my skin wasn’t so sensitive cuz it still feels worth doing even if it only feels incredible for like 6 hours

      pro tip,

      shave in the direction your hair is growing. so, if the hair is /, then shave -->, not <–. And vice versa. don’t press, but glide along. and use a femme razor, if you can! it reduces the itchiness and red bumps a lot.

      After shaving put up a gentle cream for sensitive skin, one for hydration without perfumes or any of that shit. that prevents your skin from being irritated overmuch.

      also, don’t shave everyday, your skin will become irritated. once a week is fine.

      helps a ton!

        I know all these, my skin is just very sensitive. Hoping a new treatment will help out, it claims to be formulated for extra sensitive skin and mostly focused on preventing red bumps and ingrowns.
