1. Prep & Exfoliate Shiva Rose, Agent Nateur

   The first step to a successful shave is preparation. Before getting your skin wet, use a quality dry brush, like the Goop Ultimate Dry Brush or the Skinny Confidential Butter Brush, to help lift hair and exfoliate the skin, making the shaving process smoother and less irritating. Dry brushing is also a powerful technique for stimulating lymphatic drainage, encouraging detoxification and giving you that radiant glow. 
   
   If you prefer an in-shower exfoliation, consider using Body Scrub Gloves paired with a body wash or gentle exfoliant like Laurel Skin’s Almond Rose Exfoliant, H is for Love LIN, or Primally Pure Bergamot + Eucalyptus Body Polish which will remove those dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs. They offer a gentle yet effective scrub, leaving your skin softer each time.
   

2. Hair Removal

   If you prefer the traditional razor route, Leaf Shave offers an eco-conscious shaving solution with their plastic-free design and recycling program for blades, eliminating the need for traditional razors that often feature irritating moisture strips. Pair it with a natural oil-based shave lotion like Living Libations Zen Shave for a smooth, irritation-free experience.
   
   If you’re looking for a longer-term hair removal method, sugar waxing is a 100% natural option that traces back to Ancient Egypt. If you're in the Los Angeles area or Kauai, I highly recommend booking a brow appointment at Honest Rituals by Elizabeth Carter.
   

3. Sooth

   Nurturing your skin post-hair removal is as crucial as the preparation. The Cleo Rose Healing Hydrosol can help calm and soothe the skin, reducing any potential irritation or redness. For the special men in your life, Just Ingredients offers a clean After Shave, while a few spritzes of Jack Henry Face Toner on clean, dry skin can also provide a soothing and nourishing touch.

4. Moisturize

   Sealing in moisture post-shave is essential for maintaining skin health. Opt for deeply hydrating options that cater to your skin’s needs, whether it's a luxurious body oil, a rich balm, or a creamy butter. Choices like the rejuvenating Laurel Skin California Body Oil, soothing Leef Organics Wild Crafted CBD Oil, revitalizing Jack Henry Super Face Oil, or the indulgent Shiva Rose Celestial Rose Body Butter and Venus Amber Body Oil offer a range of benefits to ensure your skin stays soft, hydrated, and radiantly healthy.
