How to SHAVE YOUR LEGS WITHOUT A RASH

Shave your legs without the rash.

When spring arrives and boots are no longer stylish, the season for shaving has begun. Getting baby smooth skin is a must for summer days at the beach and dressier days at the office. If you're not a fan of waxing and depend on your trusty razor, you can still get soft skin -- without razor burn or shaving rash.

Things You'll Need

• Shaving cream
• Razor with a new blade
• Towel
• Aloe vera gel or a natural lotion

Instructions

1. Soak your legs in warm to hot water, preferably in the bathtub, for up to 10 minutes to soften the skin and make the hair more pliable and easier to cut.

2. Apply the shaving cream to your legs, one leg at a time. Start shaving your legs using long, even strokes. Try to avoid jagged, short strokes as this could lead to razor rash. Do not press down; gentle pressure will do. Too much pressure can cause you to nick yourself. Shave your legs against the grain, which means shave them the opposite direction of the hairs natural growth.

3. Rinse legs off when shaving is complete and add aloe vera gel or a natural lotion to the shaved areas to prevent shaving rash.

Tips & Warnings

• Keep all shaving creams and razors out of the reach of children at all times!
