Shaving isn’t one of the most glamorized routines in beauty, but it’s a necessary one. And nothing is worse than reaching for your razor only to find you have no shaving cream. Because the show must go on (and you refuse to leave your house as fuzzy as a bear), you’ll want to reconsider how you shave with items that are probably already in your home. These shaving alternatives work just as good (if not more) and will leave skin smoother and healthier. Read on for some healthy alternatives to shaving cream that will have your skin rejoicing and change the way you feel about shaving.

Conditioner: You’re right. Conditioner rejuvenates hair and makes it softer and more manageable. But this also makes it a great alternative for shaving. Softer hair is easier to shave versus stiffer, more coarse hair. Plus this is an item that you will probably have in arm’s reach. The result will be smoother skin.

Baby Oil: Using baby oil reduces the chances of nicking your skin with a razor because you can see exactly where you are shaving, plus the oil will assist the razor in gliding across the skin more smoothly.

Raw Honey: Don’t get intimidated by its thick consistency. Honey is a great moisturizing component, plus it has natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. If you experience acne or eczema, honey can aide in calming and conditioning skin.

Body Lotion: Like hair conditioner, lotion will leave your skin feeling amazingly smooth. To get the best results, turn on the shower and allow the bathroom to get steamy. The steam will allow your pores to open up, and this will help the lotion to penetrate deeper into skin for a more moisturized finish.

Coconut Oil: For those who experience the discomfort of razor burn, coconut oil will be a godsend. The antifungal and antibacterial properties prevents razor burn from occurring, plus thanks to the fatty acids coconut oil contains, skin is replenished with moisture immediately.

Shea Butter: Shea butter is great for those with thicker hair. Because of its thick consistency, it is able to grip hair better, making for a quicker and easier shave. Plus, it also contains moisturizing properties to keep legs smoother longer.

Aloe Vera Gel: This lightweight gel is perfect for summer. Whether you are prone to razor burn or experience irritated skin from the sun, aloe vera gel not only adds a coolness to the skin, but heals cuts, wounds and any minor skin infections.
