Choosing a women's shaving gel
To make shaving as pleasant as possible and to avoid possible irritation on the skin, women should select a special gel. In our article, we will consider the most popular products for women.
Peculiarities
Common shaving gel contains glycerin and silicone, which provide hydration to the skin and smooth glide of the razor. Besides, gels contain ingredients that will help relieve inflammation, as well as flavors and vitamins. When producing women's gels, the manufacturer takes into account the fact that the product will be used in the intimate area. The skin in this area is extremely delicate and it is important not to harm it. That is why the gel contains moisturizers.
The main functions of shaving gel can be considered:
- preparation of the skin for shaving;
- lathering to ensure a soft glide of the razor;
- providing moisture;
- softening of hairs.
Due to their ease of use, gels have gained the greatest popularity among consumers. The advantages of gels also include the following points:
- economical consumption;
- convenient use;
- anti-drip consistency;
- resistant foam;
- good razor glide;
- for women over 30 and for women with excessively dry skin, special products are produced.
The disadvantages of these funds include the high cost and the fact that some gels contain alcohol, which causes dry skin in some users.

How to use?
Any gel is best applied to the skin with a special shaving brush, gently distributing the product in a circular motion and applying it in a thin and even layer over the treated area. Before applying the product, a small amount of it must be carefully squeezed into a separate container, and the shaving brush should be moistened with plenty of water.
If you do not use a shaving brush, then you just need to apply the gel to the palm of your hand and gently distribute. The product should be applied to the entire shaving area at once. This will soften the skin well. The shaver should be used 2 minutes after application. After the procedure, you need to remove all the foam from the shaving area.
What can be replaced?
Often, the care product can run out at the most inopportune moment. At such moments, the question arises of what to replace the finished gel.
- Soap. Any product for successful shaving should first of all provide good glide of the razor over the skin. Soap is the most popular alternative to gel, but antibacterial liquid soap is the best choice.
- Shampoo or balm. These products are suitable for high-quality shaving of the face, and will also help remove hairs from other areas of the female body.
- Oils. They can soften, smooth and soothe the skin. That is why so often these products are used instead of shaving gel.
- Aloe vera. This is one of the best natural remedies, and it is not without reason that it can be found so often in the composition of various cosmetic products. Natural aloe vera gel is often used for skin care after depilation. But few people know that this tool can easily replace shaving gel.
Aloe soothes, cools, moisturizes and softens the skin, which is why it is in such high demand.
