The answer is yes, but in that order! First of all, you have to wash and exfoliate, before you shave carefully. You can then apply your self-tan lotion thoroughly, with a glove if necessary to get as close to a beauty salon result as possible. Remember: your skin has to be smooth for your self-tanner to be efficient, so start exfoliating days in advance. And you should really moisturize every day, but you already know that, right?

On the contrary, modern sunscreen formulas offer not only protection against sun, but skin hydration and soothing effect too. Just remember to reapply regularly especially after a swim.

You may find that sea water -or indeed the swiming pool- irritates your skin right after a shave. So make sure to leave a time gap before you go for a swim. After shaving, remember to apply a moisturizing soothing cream or a dry oil that will work as a nice safeguard for your skin.

First of all, you should never, ever get sunburnt so apply your sunscreen carefully and reapply it as often as necessary. But accidents can happen and if you ever get red skin, the last thing you will want is to irritate it even more. So be gentle to yourself, soothe your skin with a hydration cream and wait before you tamper with it again. You can go with a day or two of hair growth -after all, you won't want to bare your legs in the sun for a while.

Razors are the perfect nomadic travel companions. But they come with a plastic protective cover for a reason. If left unprotected in your toilet bag, they might damage its content. So make sure your razor shaving kit is safely packed in your luggage!

We will never repeat it enough; exfoliation is the key to a successful shave. It gets rid of dead cells, softens the skin and helps release ingrown hair. The razor will glide effortlessly on the body and the result will last longer. You don't have to go for a coarse body scrub, a gentle one with fruit kernel grains will do. Just don't skip the hydration phase afterwards

Think about it: you don't have to wait for your hair to grow to wax it. You just have to shave under the shower every evening or morning and ta da! You can put on your mini skirt and head to the beach. Do your homework before your holiday: exfoliate to get rid of the ingrown hair on your skin, shave with a brand new blade, moisturize thoroughly and have your razor in your luggage for touch-ups.

Armpits are a special skin area and they deserve all your gentle care. First, raise your arm to get a flat surface. Like in other parts of the body, you have to use warm water and shaving gel. In order to spare your skin, you may want to shave in the direction of the hair. For the finishing touch, you can shave diagonally to remove all the small hair. And don't forget to wait a few minutes before you apply antiperspirant or deodorant !

Aloe vera is a plant with an exceptional rate of water and minerals. It was used in ancient Egypt against burns. Today, you can buy pure aloe vera leaf extract in organic shops to and use it after shaving to soothe skin irritation. Aloe vera-enriched cosmetics will also do wonders to moisturize your skin during winter or as an after-sun lotion.

Make sure you store your razor in a safe place as it could fall in the wrong hands. If you have children, they might be tempted to play with these colourful items. Don't leave your razor lying on the edge of the bath as it might be damaged by stagnant water. The best thing is to dry it after use and keep it in a box or a drawer until the next time.

Hot water makes your skin more elastic and soſtens hair, which help preserve your razor. Wet hair is also easier to shave, so wet your skin with hot water or shave under the shower.

Do not apply any lotion that is alcohol based nor use deodorants or anti-perspirants immediately after shaving, as this may result in irritation and stinging.

Shaving can sometimes make the skin feel taut. So shave in the evening to soothe your skin during the night. If you go to the swimming pool or the beach, shave the night before to avoid any stinging. 

Different hair and skin properties could justify the use of a dedicated feminine tool. A razor designed for you can provide the smooth glide you need for a comfortable shave. Find your match among BIC® Soleil® razors for women!

Epilators remove the hair from the root. Just like waxing, it lasts longer than other methods. The equipment can be expensive and some women find their skin not as smooth as it could be with other methods. It can be painful and irritate your skin, especially on sensitive areas like underarms or bikini. Also, it might not remove very short hair: with some epilators, you have to wait for it to grow a little before using your epilator. So, it’s not a convenient solution when the sun is back and you want to wear your beautiful dress or your new swimsuit! 

Depilatory creams use a chemical compound to remove hair, it’s easy to use and can leaves your skin very smooth. As this is a chemical process it takes more time than shaving and the smell can be disturbing and can cause irritation on sensitive skins.

Waxing eliminates the root of the hair. As it needs time to regenerate, the effects last longer and the more you wax, the less your hair will regrow but be careful: waxing is expensive and painful. Waxing also doesn’t work on very short hair, you have to wait for it to grow a little before waxing. So it’s not a convenient solution when the sun is back and you want to wear your beautiful dress or your new swimsuit.

Before shaving, you need to exfoliate your skin with a glove or gel to remove any dead cells and avoid in-growing hairs. Then, expose hair to warm water for few minutes. This softens the hair making it easier to remove. After that, apply shaving gel and shave with your Bic® Soleil® razor especially designed for women in the direction of hair growth. Make sure you hold your skin taut to prevent red razor bumps and itches. The final touches: apply a soothing moisturiser to the area.

Shaving as never taken off a tan. The tanning effect of the sun goes deep into several layers of your skin which won’t come into contact with the blade when you shave. Don’t worry you won’t be in risk of losing your perfect tan.

Before you shave, it is recommended to exfoliate your skin with a glove or gel to remove any dead cells for a close and smooth shave. Repeat this several times a week to make your skin softer and avoid in-growing hairs.

After shaving, rinse the razor with hot water to remove all hair and cream. Don’t tap the razor and avoid wiping the razor with a towel, best to let it dry naturally.

Remember that your skin is at its most sensitive immediately after the shave, so dry your skin by gently ‘patting’ it with a soft towel. Rubbing will cause friction and will make the area hot and more sensitive. 

Shaving removes the dead cells on the top of your skin. Apply an after shave balm or an alcohol-free moisturising cream, to soothe and protect the skin. 

Make sure you prepare your skin with a specially formulated shaving cream or gel. With a shaving gel, the shaver glides easily over your skin helping to avoid skin irritations. Use gel rather than normal soaps as its more gentle for your skin. Spread the gel and leave it for two minutes on your skin before shaving.

Before shaving any part of your body, it’s better to have perfectly clean skin, this helps to reduce infections and bumps. Use hot water or shave during or after a shower. Warm humidity increases skin elasticity and softens hair making it easier to shave. This way you also prolong the life of your razor.

The duller the blade, the more irritated your skin may become. Regularly change your razor, especially if you have sensitive skin. You can use the same razor several times: just clean it and dry it properly between uses. You know it’s time to change when you need to apply more pressure on your razor to get a nice close shave.
