How do I shave for the perfect tan?

Shaving can actually help boost your tan by removing dull, flaky skin that diminishes a healthy glow. Always use an SPF moisturizer, but if you accidentally get sunburn, give your skin a chance to heal before you shave again to avoid further irritation.

Should I shave differently in the summer?

Smooth skin in summer is a must! Shave regularly and moisturize often to keep your legs glowing all summer long. If you're going to hit the beach or the pool, think ahead and shave the night before to avoid skin irritation caused by sun, salt or chlorine.

I'm using a self-tanner. When should I shave to preserve my glow?

Because shaving exfoliates skin, it's a must for getting a gorgeous glow. Shaving before you apply self-tanner removes dead skin cells, so your color is more even and natural looking. Depending on the formula, dark tinted self-tanner may settle more in pores, so consider shaving the night before to achieve a beautiful, even bronze.

Beach-worthy bikini shaving tips

When shaving your bikini area, wait 24 hours before sun exposure to protect the sensitive skin. Since bikini area hairs are naturally coarser, soak hair in warm water and apply a moisturizing shave gel like SatinCare Skin Soothing to prevent bumps and burn. Hold skin taut so that it's level—like the skin on your legs. First shave in the direction of hair growth to shorten, then against the grain for extra closeness. Rinse the area in cool water to close pores—and moisturize.
