The weather is heating up, and you’re probably breaking out your summer wardrobe full of short hemlines….and shaving your legs.

Not sure how to do it? That’s okay, here are some easy tips from Erika Katz, a beauty blogger who specializes in helping tweens and their moms bond through beauty. You can see her blog Bonding Over Beauty HERE.

Here are her top tips:

1. Make shaving the last thing you do in the shower. That way ,you have lots of time to let the steam open up your pores.
2. Don’t use disposable razors, because it’s easy to nick your legs with them. Choose a razor with interchangeable heads that pivot instead.
3. Mix shaving cream with shower gel for a luxurious feel.
4. After every stroke, rinse off your razor.
5. 5. Every 5-7 uses, switch out your blade.
6. Wait a while after shaving to moisturize, otherwise the lotion could irritate your skin.

She also recommends using a skin scrub before shaving your legs to really exfoliate well. Check out her D.I.Y. recipe that we posted HERE!
