Tip for the Ladies

Ladies, how many of you tend to break out in a rash when you shave your legs or under your arms? My legs break out almost every time I shave them. In fact, many years ago, the rash on my legs was so bad I had to go to the doctor about it. Back then, I tended to shave with just soap and water, and the doctor told me to never, ever do that again. He told me to always use shave gel. Although I have followed his instructions, my legs will still often break out in a rash.

Well, last week I read a tip in a magazine and decided to try it this weekend. The article said to shave with petroleum jelly (Vaseline). So, I bought some and tried it.

Although the petroleum jelly did clog up my razor some, it was not as bad as I had expected it to be. After shaving, I had to use body wash to rinse all the greasy feeling away, but it left my legs feeling softer and smoother than I thought possible.

After my first trial, I say it was a great tip that I wanted to pass on. I will definitely try this again.
