Skintimate Olive Butter Foam Shave Cream for Women, 2-Pack

Shaving is an essential part of a grooming routine. The nicks, cuts and razor bumps that come from shaving don’t have to be. When shopping for the best shave cream for women, it is important to consider your skin type, as well as the ingredients used to create the cream.

Consider your preference for a cream that’s thin or thick in texture, as well as whether you like a shave cream that lathers. Some creams are concentrated. When mixed with water, they are thin and without a lather.

There’s also the option of skipping a cream and going with an oil instead. The Tree Hut Moisturizing Shave Oil works to glide the razor safely across your skin so you don’t end up with any cuts. It’s also made using natural oils that keep your skin hydrated. That’s important as shaving is known to dry out the skin.

Look at the shave cream’s list of ingredients to see what benefits are offered. For example, some therapeutic shave gels are made using oats and vitamin E. They’re also dermatologist recommended and safe for use on sensitive skin. In addition to lubricating and hydrating the skin, they also soothe skin.

You may want to choose a shaving cream that is vegan-friendly and cruelty-free, like one that is Leaping Bunny Certified. You may also wish to go with a brand that is gluten-free and free of any parabens and phthalates.

• If you put the shave cream on thick, you may clog the razor. That means stopping to rinse the razor off much more frequently.
• Some shaving creams don’t work well on all skin types. You may have to experiment with a few different brands before you find the best one.
• Always use a sharp razor when shaving. Dull razors often lead to cuts.
• Expose the area you want to shave to warm water for several minutes before you begin shaving. This will soften your hair. Additionally, you’ll want to exfoliate the area to lift and release dead skin cells. Afterward, you’ll be ready to apply a cream and begin shaving.
• Toss your razor the minute it shows any signs of rust.
• When comparing the prices of shave cream for women, you need to look at the price per ounce. To do this, divide the total cost by the number of ounces in the cream. You can expect brands that incorporate the use of natural oils and extracts will have a higher overall cost.
