Must-Know Tips for the Perfect Summer Shave!

Summer has arrived, and so has the need for healthy, soft skin that's ready for relaxing moments at the beach or by the pool. Hair removal therefore becomes an important part of your summer beauty routine, as long as it's done with care and awareness.

But let's face it: even though a razor is the most convenient and painless method, it can still come with a few drawbacks... if you don't follow a routine that's right for your skin!

For example, how annoying is it to get into the water with irritated skin?

That's why it's important to follow a few simple rules for a proper shave, especially during summer, when you need to pay even more attention to preventing irritation and redness.

Here are some key points to keep in mind for flawless summer hair removal!

1. Prepare your skin

Before you start shaving, it's important to prepare your skin properly. Make sure to soften the hair by taking a shower or applying a damp towel to the area you want to shave. This will make the hair easier to cut.

If you can, do a gentle — actually, very gentle — exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and prepare your skin for the blade. You can choose our exfoliating glove, to be used gently on damp skin in the shower, or Milky Scrub, which you massage onto dry skin and which transforms into a silky milk when rinsed off. Two different ways to achieve the same result: smooth, soft skin that's ready for a stress-free shave.

2. Use a high-quality blade

Choose a razor with a high-quality blade and replace it regularly.

A sharp blade will reduce the risk of skin irritation and ensure a more precise and effective hair removal experience. Avoid using old or dull blades, as they can cause cuts and irritation.

For example, the Fler Razor is designed to be anti-irritation thanks to its revolutionary head featuring 5 sharp blades that are precise yet gentle on the skin. Plus, the lubricating ring surrounding the blades gradually releases a soap enriched with Aloe Vera, Vitamin E, and Jojoba Oil, ingredients that help restore the skin and support its natural balance while allowing the blades to glide smoothly without causing irritation.

3. Repeat after me: "I will never dry shave, I will never dry shave!"

The number one cause of unwanted shaving side effects is failing to protect your skin with a shaving foam.

Before shaving, make sure you apply one. It creates a protective barrier between the razor and your skin, so you can say goodbye to redness and burning at the beach.

To help prevent irritation and redness, we recommend our Foamtastic, which nourishes and protects the skin. You can choose between Coconut, enriched with coconut oil, jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, and shea butter, or Foamtastic Amber, featuring carrot extract, jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, and shea butter.

And yes, we also have a travel-size version, so you can take it with you on your next summer getaway and never dry shave again!

4. Say no to "creative" shaving

Admit it: at least once, you've run a razor over your skin a little randomly without paying too much attention.

But in summer, especially if you have sensitive skin, we recommend shaving in the direction of hair growth.

This will reduce the risk of ingrown hairs and irritation. Avoid making multiple passes over the same area and don't apply too much pressure to the razor.

Did you know that the weight of our razor has been specifically designed to apply the right amount of pressure without causing fatigue? Try it and see for yourself.

5. The keyword is HYDRATION

Hydration is an absolute must in your summer routine. You can choose a moisturizing cream or an oil, but opt for products made with soothing, refreshing, skin-friendly ingredients, and avoid products with overly aggressive fragrances.

Our moisturizing formulas are perfect for soothing the skin after shaving, especially before sun exposure:

Slow It Down is our fast-absorbing cream, enriched with Centella Asiatica, which calms irritated skin, and Gymnema Sylvestre, which slows hair growth. Try it and see the magic for yourself!

Hoily Drops, also known as our "magic oil," contains Tea Tree Oil, Tamanu Oil, and Bisabolol to accelerate the skin's healing process with antimicrobial and soothing properties. If you're worried about the sting of seawater after shaving, give it a try — you won't regret it!

Dry Body Oil is our multifunctional dry oil, perfect for anyone who loves to nourish their skin without a greasy feel. Thanks to its lightweight texture, it absorbs quickly and leaves skin soft, radiant, and velvety smooth. Ideal after shaving and throughout the summer, when you want hydration with zero stickiness.

Bonus tip

Summer means sunshine, the sea, the pool, endless days, and a few more degrees than we'd sometimes like. And while a perfect shave is important, feeling fresh and comfortable is just as essential.

That's why our bonus recommendation is the new Refillable Roll-on Deodorant, designed to support you through the hottest days without compromising on effectiveness or gentleness.

Unlike antiperspirants, our formula is aluminum salt-free: it doesn't aim to temporarily block perspiration, but instead works to neutralize odor at the source while providing protection for up to 48 hours.

Available in the fragrances Vanilla Bloom, with notes of vanilla, jasmine, and amber woods, and Citrus Wave, with notes of lime, seawater, and musk for an instantly fresh feeling.

And it doesn't "just" work as a deodorant: thanks to ingredients like Aloe Vera, Hyaluronic Acid, and Shea Butter, it cares for your skin with a gentle formula suitable even for sensitive skin (perfect after shaving, too!).

The texture is lightweight and non-sticky, absorbs quickly, and leaves no visible residue.

In short, it's everything you could want from a summer deodorant. And then some!
