Shaving Cream Substitute

The tubes of after-color conditioning treatment that comes in at-home hair coloring makes a great 'shave lotion' for your legs and underarms. Be sure you aren't allergic first! And watch out, the tub/shower could be slippery.

Although I have sensitive skin, I find that I can also use this conditioner for a make-up base to protect my face and pores, using it sparingly and letting it fully dry first. Do not apply over moist skin, however, because most of these conditioners are silicon based
and it creates a barrier where bacteria can grow. I
also use it as after-shave on my legs and lotion for my arms and chest. I've been using it for about 15 yr., in case anyone wonders about it's safety, but still you need to test it for your own sensitivity and
special brand of conditioning lotion. God bless you.

Out of shaving cream? Let baby oil fill in. It'll lubricate the razor, keep stubs standing up for a clean shave, and won't dry out sensitive skin, as will soap or shaving cream.

You can also use half shampoo and half conditioner mixed together for shaving! (03/16/2005)
