It's no secret that your crotch is bound to be itchy after shaving. After all, pubic hair is thicker than other parts of the body. Post-shaving, the skin in that area is all exposed, sensitive and more prone to irritation, hence it tends to be itchier as the hair follicles grow back.
And before you think this common issue can get even worse, local TikToker @zahragirlytalk's four foolproof post-shaving tips are guaranteed to prove otherwise.
1- Exfoliate Before, Not After
Exfoliating before shaving not only removes dead skin cells and dirt off the skin surface, but it also helps you attain a closer and cleaner shave. This way, your skin is less prone to getting razor bumps or irritation.
2- Use A Lubricant
You'd definitely want a silkier surface for the razor to glide through, so this is where the lubricant comes in handy. For this, Zahra recommends using Petal Fresh (any variation will do).
3- Wear Loose Underwear
A tight underwear will cause the newly shaved surface to rub against it, leading to irritation. Instead, opt for breathable underwear instead to minimize this risk.
4- Shave Correctly
This one's crucial! Go easy on the skin by applying gentle strokes and going in the direction of the hair growth. You should never go too hard on shaving as this leads to inflammation.
All in all, shaving doesn't have to be an uncomfortable experience for you. If done right, you'll get the most satisfying result out of it.
