The product I'm referring to is one of my ride or die winter essentials. I've never gone without this item since I was first introduced to it by a stewardess with flawless skin.
Gel moisturizers have been a lifesaver ever since. But, once summer rolls around, I tend to swap out gel moisturizers for lighter options. Recently, I learned of yet another application for gel moisturizers that I was super excited to try out.
It's so simple that I'm baffled as to why I haven't thought of it myself.
Basically, my gel moisturizers have now taken on the role of shave gel. They are the quintessential shave gel alternative for a few reasons. The most convincing is because shave gel will leave your legs so ultra smooth and hydrated. They moisturize on a deeper level that lasts beyond the shower experience.
I attempted to replicate this same process with Neutrogena's Bath Oil but baby oil gel was far superior. The thicker consistency of gel left my legs feeling so much smoother and moisturized.
I now have to buy another baby oil gel for my dresser because this one is never leaving my shower. I'm glad I learned of this hack prior to summer. You have to try it.
I use to shave with coconut oil in the shower and it had a similar effect for me - ridiculously smooth skin afterwards! However, once I got started on hair removal cream (Very), I never looked back. It takes much longer for the hair to grow back and I just moisture with olive oil on wet skin once I'm out of the shower. I don't dry off with a towel - at all. I think I even heard that hack from this blog years ago. Haven't stopped since. It's almost like the LOC method but for skin (minus the "C" of course!).
