Women's Shaving Cream Buying Guide

Ladies, let's be honest. Stubbly legs are bad. Missing a spot is even worse. That's why a good shaving cream  is absolutley essential for every woman, whether you're an athlete or you work in an office. Using a cream will help get your legs their smoothest and sexiest. Forget soap  that can dry out your skin and leave you red, go pick up a shave cream  and say hello to that short skirt.

Choosing a Shave Cream

• Know your skin type. You've definitely heard that a million times, but you should get to know your skin type before you buy, as you would for face wash  or moisturizer . If you have dry skin, look for products with natural emollients, like shea butter or cocoa butter. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, then look for products with an astringent, like camphor.
• Spend what you want. Shaving cream is pretty much the same, no matter how much you spend on it. Instead offocusing on cost, read the ingredients and properties of the product, and choose one based on what you'd like.
