How to avoid red bumps on legs from shaving.

There are a ton of girls who deal with this problem, so if your one of them follow these tips to avoid red bumpy legs from shaving.


1:  Allow your legs to be fully saturated by water for at least 3 minutes. While waiting for 3 minutes to pass, wash your body. You should wash your legs before shaving because once your done shaving using a lofa or washcloth will most likely irritate your legs.


2:  Exfoliate before you shave. This gets rid of all the    dead skin, there fore making it way easier going over your legs with a razor.


3:  Choose a good shaving cream. If you know what ingredients normally irritate your skin like alcohol or peppermint which are common ingredients in shaving cream then try to find one without those.
Or you could always try a lotion or body scrub for shaving.


4:  Don't use a dull razor. Dull razors lead to nicks and cuts so choose a sharp one. Also while going over your legs apply a slight pressure.


5:  After shaving apply a lotion to keep your legs hydrated.




I hope these tips helped!:)

Skin routine!

Hey everybody,

I thought I would share my day and night skin routine and what helps me keep my acne under control and my skin smooth and fresh:)

Every night when I'm in the shower, I take of my makeup and wash my face with St.Ives fresh skin apricot scrub. The reason I wash my face in the shower is because the steam opens up pores, there fore the product gets deeper into the skin. I love using this because it makes my skin extremely smooth and helps clear up my acne. Depending on how I'm feeling or how bad my skin is, after the scrub I use my Derma gel face wash. Derma gel is the knock off brand of spectro gel but its the exact same thing. I don't mind this face wash but unlike the apricot scrub you can't feel it working and getting into your pours. But it really does help with acne.
After my skin is dry I sometimes put a moisturizer on it. If I don't use that then I put on my prescription acne medication. 

Since everybody has different skin types this routine may not work for you. But I'd defiantly recommend both of those face washes:)
