We're officially approaching the season of the "bare leg", the bikini on sunny days and the short dress on long, warm evenings - and how good does that feel, right? With summer approaching, many of us are reaching for the razor more often when we get in the shower to say "goodbye" to unwanted hair.
Today we're going to share with you our top 6 tips for a smooth and perfect shave at home, and the steps you need to follow to avoid the infamous ingrown hairs and other imperfections that we want to keep far away from our skin. Shall we?

When we exfoliate the skin, we are not only removing these dead cells, but also ensuring that the follicle is in the best condition for hair removal, and supporting normal hair growth after epilation.
And now that warmer days are upon us, our exfoliating suggestion is undoubtedly our wonderful Shine! With a delicious but delicate scent of coconut and rose, this scrub will moisturize and illuminate your skin, leaving it extra soft.
