I’m a beauty whizz and you’ve been shaving your legs all wrong – my hack is so much quicker and easier for smooth pins
WHETHER you love it or leave it, removing body hair has long been a divisive issue among women.
Some of us like to shave or wax, others go as far as to laser it off, while some let it grow as nature intended.
Shaving is one of the most popular methods of body hair removal due to the ease of picking up a razor from the shop and getting the job done in the shower.
But comes with its own set of annoyances – razor bumps, ingrown hairs, hair growing back quickly and the blades nicking your skin.
Most women follow the method of shaving a row upwards on their legs, washing the razor off, and then going back in for the next row.
However, beauty whizz Char Makeup has revealed this isn’t the best way to do it.
She took to TikTok to reveal her leg shaving hack that’s “so much quicker and easier”.
“I realised I’ve been shaving my legs wrong for the last 20 years,” Char said.
“I was today-years-old when I learnt that instead of running the water the whole time and shaving a row, then rinsing it under the water, then shaving another row, rinse it under the water.
“We don’t have all day to do that.
“Instead, you shave a row, glide the razor down, shave a row, glide the razor down.
“The hairs get pushed out [of the razor] as you glide up and down your legs.
“It’s so much quicker and so much easier.”
Char provided a demonstration of what she meant and women were blown away by the revelation.
“What?! I am 33-years-old and did not know this,” one said.
“What the hell,” another penned. “I could save a lot of time.”
“I have just done this and I have never felt so lied to my whole life!” a third quipped. “My shaving time is now literally seconds!”
Other shaving recommendations shared in the comments were using men’s razors and using baby oil on your skin to help the razor glide down your leg easier.
“They get so much closer and last longer then the ones marketed to women,” one woman said about men’s razors.
