Rising up, my buddies largely realized their magnificence hacks from their older sisters. I, myself, was sister-less, however I did belong to a cheerleading workforce filled with older women with knowledge to share. And someday at observe after I was 15, I realized the one trick I might carry with me till this very day: shaving your legs with conditioner as a substitute of shaving cream. It made the hair softer, some senior informed me, and I by no means went again to the fluffy, aerosol formulation that clogged my razors once more. 

Over time, I’ve tried — in useless — to discover a physique wash that would prep my legs for a easy shave simply as effectively, as utilizing up my conditioner twice felt wasteful (and costly.) However even a few of the extra high-end physique cleaners I’ve examined do not present the identical glide, and simply lead to razor burn and ingrown hairs. And in case you have delicate pores and skin or are notably ingrown-prone, you recognize that repeatedly shaving over these irritated areas can extrapolate the difficulty. One new body-care launch, although, has made me a convert: the Comfortable Providers Consolation Cleanse Extremely Soothing Bathe Gel. 

I am already a fan of the model’s exfoliating merchandise. Its ketosis pilaris-fighting Buffing Bar lives perpetually in my bathe, so I used to be excited for a soothing components to observe it up with. 

“We knew we would have liked a day by day physique cleanser to enhance our focused therapies for folks with mixture physique pores and skin,” explains Annie Kreighbaum, cofounder of Comfortable Providers. “One that’s insanely efficient at eradicating grime, however that [provides] hydration, is fragrance-free, and  secure for delicate pores and skin.” Beauty chemist Ginger King agrees that even those that have reactive pores and skin can safely use this wash.

“They used delicate surfactants — substances that assist to take away particles from pores and skin — and [made it] fragrance-free, which can assist folks with delicate pores and skin points,” she says. Past merely cleaning the pores and skin, Kreighbaum says that shaving was top-of-mind throughout the product growth stage. 

“We knew that having an ultra-soothing razor glide is so necessary to stopping lots of the pores and skin issues we deal with, like ingrown hair and irritation because of razor burn,” Kreighbaum says. The workforce was capable of tweak the thickness of the water-gel to greatest cling to pores and skin throughout shaving as soon as it discovered nailed the suitable ratio for its hydrating and cleaning substances.
