Shaving 101: ultimate guide for extra sensitive skin.
Ladies gather up. For years I’ve suffered from ultra sensitive skin especially around my bikini area and inner thighs. I know a lot of you deal with the same problems so I’m making a very extensive post about NATURAL and SKIN FRIENDLY ways to combat these issues as well as share my personal shaving routine.
Firstly let me clear this up: DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, PUT ALCOHOL OR DEODORANT ON THESE SENSITIVE AREAS.
I’ve seen many posts online about girls that use alcohol as a toner, or apply cream deodorant and Nivea aftershave balm to prevent razor bumps. While these products will help alleviate the symptoms they will harm your skin in the long run. So stay away!
In my experience there are two types of problems:
Immediate: these appear during or directly after shaving. (Pain during shaving, cuts, irritation)
Post shave: these appear hours or days after shaving (irritation, bumps, ingrown hairs)
So let’s take it from the start.
Baths and soaks: now this is not a totally necessary step but soaking in warm water prior to shaving will help soften both the skin and the hair and provide a more pleasant experience.
Avoid using any body wash or bubble bath as it will disturb your ph levels and is especially unhealthy for your vagina. Prefer ingredients like salts(detoxifies, provides minerals), baking soda(detoxifies), apple cider vinegar (balances ph), herbs & teas (soften skin, smooth, hydrate, calm and so on), milk (hydrates skin, mildly exfoliates, softens), honey (hydrates, softens)
Exfoliation: this is an essential step if you suffer from ingrown hair and additionally helps give a closer shave.
You have a few different options. You can either use a glove/loofah/mitt/sponge or a scrub
Again avoid commercial scrubs as the chemicals in them are extremely unnecessary and unhealthy for your skin. Invest in a quality natural product or create your own with ingredients you already have in your kitchen in the fraction of the time and cost.
A simple scrub recipe I enjoy:
Sugar (brown or white) Oil (I use coconut but any oil will work) Lemon juice Lemon zest
Add the desired amount of sugar in a container or mixing bowl. Put in the zest. Slowly pour in the oil until all sugar granules are coated but not saturated in it. Finally add the lemon juice until you reach the desired consistency.
Both the lemon juice and lemon zest are completely optional. The juice helps lighten any marks while the zest gives a refreshing smell. You can substitute cinnamon and vanilla extract for a sweet, more wintery smell or just leave it plain.
Use the sugar scrub around your kitty but be extremely cautious not to get it inside as it might cause imbalances and yeast infections.
Do not substitute salt for sugar as it’s too harsh and will sting during shaving.
DO NOT USE BABY OIL. I can’t even believe that this is a product intended for babies! The ingredients are disgusting and extremely harmful.
Here’s why:
“Traditional baby oil is typically mineral oil, a petroleum-based ingredient. Mineral oil coats the skin just like a plastic wrap and messes with your baby’s natural immune barrier. This inhibits the skin’s ability to breathe and compromises its capacity to release toxins.”
Keep it away from you and your coochie.
Shave: if you chose a scrub just rinse off the granules with lukewarm water but DO NOT wash off the oil. It will protect your skin from the blades and prevent burns, cuts, irritation and discomfort. If you are using an oil free option to exfoliate you will need to apply oil afterwards. (Again choose the oil that suits you best.)
Choose a men’s razor with four blades (My favorite is Gillette fusion pro glide) and change the blades often.
Typically the oil is more than enough. If though you have supah sensitive skin and especially if you are shaving for a second day in a row you might wanna try shaving UNDERWATER. Yes you read that right. This method saved me!! Just sit as comfortably as you can in the tub and submerge the parts you want to shave in the warm water WITH THE OIL ON and shave.
Aftercare: use a gentle body wash to remove the oil from your body and a feminine wash or plain water to rinse your kitty.
Use a clean towel and pat the shaved areas dry.
I use alcohol free witch hazel as a toner on the areas where I’m prone to breakouts and bumps to naturally and gently disinfect the skin and close the pores. You can also mix apple cider vinegar with water in a 1:3 ratio and use that instead.
As a second step I like to slather on some aloe Vera gel to hydrate and smooth the skin.
Once it’s soaked I top everything off with some natural aftershave balm (my favorite is the bulldog original aftershave balm, it’s super cheap and all natural)
The following days: you can apply some moisturizer or oil with a few drops of tea tree oil on the areas where you get razor bumps and post shave breakouts to eliminate them. I like to use Aloe Vera gel consistently to moisturize and smooth sensitive areas.
This is it ladies! I hope it’s helpful!!

♔ some skin care tips ♔
reapply sun screen every 2 to 3 hours. don’t use anything under 30.
use a different exfoliator for your face than you do for your body. your face needs one that’s not as aggressive
you might start to break out more upon using a new, good product. this is normal. let the bad stuff be flushed out and keep using it. This does not include things like moisturizers or tonics!
I know it’s annoying but drink. your. water.
don’t use coconut oil on your face if you’re prone to acne and/or have oily skin.
don’t let the water in the shower hit your face too much, the pressure damages the skin on micro-level - a little is fine, just don‘t let it directly hit your face the whole time you‘re in there.
change your pillow sheet every 3 days (oily skin) to once a week.
stop touching your face for god’s sake.
don’t forget to treat your neck too!
regularly exfoliating your hands will slow down hand aging, too (neck & hands are most telling about actual age when older for most people).
if something doesn’t work, throw it away or gift it to someone else. don’t keep using it.
start using a serum if you can afford it - it‘s not necessary but very beneficial.
matcha tea contains waaaaay more antioxidants than your average green tea so that one will get you more health benefits, too!
honey & salmon are good for your skin. also limit your dairy intake.
try to (deep) cleanse your face in the evening if possible to get rid of all the stuff that has collected on your face during the day.
and don’t forget that lasting good skin takes time and consistency. ♡
“1. Your skin may never be perfect, and that’s okay. 2. Life is too short not to have the underwear, the coffee, and the haircut you want. 3. Everyone (including your family, your coworkers, and your best friend) will talk about you behind your back, and you’ll talk about them too. It doesn’t mean you don’t love each other. 4. It’s okay to spend money on things that make you happy. 5. Sometimes without fault or reason, relationships deteriorate. It will happen when you’re six, it will happen when you’re sixty. That’s life.”
— Five things I am trying very hard to accept (via aumoe)
New face masks I love✨✨
Shea moisture African black soap mud mask - Removes blemishes
Korres grapefruit mask - Brightens and improves discolourations
The Body Shop tea tree clay mask - Calms irritated skin
Formula 10.0.6 strawberry + yarrow pore mask - Glow inducing
Freeman avocado + oatmeal mask - Softens and hydrates
Origins rose clay mask - Removes dead skin
Too cool for school 24k gold pumpkin peel mask - For radiance and moisture
Andalou 1000 roses rose water mask - Soothes delicate dry skin
Innisfree white volcanic clay mask - Sebum control
self care and beauty tips i learned in Poland
drinking nettle and horsetail tea is really good for your hair
dry skin brushing improves circulation, relaxes and energises you, removes dead skin and cellulite
parsley infused water helps to refresh and whiten the tired, unhealthy looking skin + it brightens undereye circles
AHA and BHA are really good for gentle exfoliation and they help to stay away from the clogged pores
drinking those old lady-ish herbal teas for varicose veins helps generally with fluid retention and puffy face
putting chestnuts into a pillowcase is supposedly a good way to keep bad energy away from your bed + it’s extra relaxing to put your legs on it
shots of the seabuckthorn juice are really good for the immunity
the best hairbrushes are the ones with wild boar bristles
if you have a painful headache, there is a good chance you’re actually dehydrated. dissolve some high-quality salt (i’ve heard that salt from kłodawa does wonders) in a 500ml of water and watch the magic happen
the flax seed jelly is really good way to moisturize dry hair
self-grip hair rollers are wayyyy better to get some curls and volume than all those fancy curling irons
include fermented foods into your diet. healthy gut=healthy and happy everything else
if you have thin, straight, unbleached hair, just leave them alone, extensive hair care can only make them look worse
syrian aleppo soap or charcoal infused soap are really good for the skin imperfections (i mean the body tho! don’t use soap on your face you can end up crying)
eat loads of root vegetables in the winter to keep yourself grounded. those babes are so underrated
magnesium salt bath is best for sore muscles and stress
coffee grounds + olive oil make really good peeling
russians have really good hair care products, germans have good makeup and body washes. know your neighbours
drinking apple+ parsley juice increases hair growth
eat ginger. it helps with almost everything
extend at least part of your skincare to your neck or even breasts and thank yourself in 30 years
keeping fancy smelling soap in your drawers makes clothes smell nice
castor oil is a holy grail for your eyebrows and eyelashes. but before you put something around your eyes check on a small patch of skin on your hand or sth if you’re not allergic
soups are one of the easiest, healthiest and most comforting foods out there. you can literally make any kind of soup to match your preferences and feed your body with all the good fats, minerals, vitamins and water
MAKE UP TIPS 💋
Hi y'all, so I’ve been doing make up for years for proms and weddings and engagement photos and such and thought I would offer some tips because I love make up and maybe not everyone knows these! Obvi keep in mind everyone is different and these may not work for you…
- Try Nivea’s Sensitive Post Shave Balm for Men as a primer. A little goes a long way and rub it in until it gets tacky
- There is literally no reason to buy mascara from high end brands and I’m a high end whore. My favorite is the Clump Crusher water resistant
- If you can’t decide between two foundation colors, choose the one that’s lighter. Bronzer can fix that shit quick
- The “buy concealer that is 56 shades too light” trend needs to die. One or two shades is plentyyyyy you don’t wanna look like a reverse raccoon and flash photography only makes it worse
- BAKE your under eyes and if you’re hoeing tbh bake your entire face. Message me if you don’t know what baking is
- Two best foundations I’ve ever used are the Too Faced Born This Way and Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24hr
- Stop applying your make up with your hands ladies pls buy a beauty blender and get it damp
- Take the foundation off your lips once you’ve set it bc if you just put lip product over it it’ll bunch up in the corners of your mouth
- Sigma has great brushes and shed less than any of my high end brushes. I’d definitely recommend splurging and getting a full set of them
- Do not base your purchases off of sellout YouTubers that are getting paid to say everything they’re saying
- Buy a setting spray and spray your eyeshadow brush w it before applying shimmery eye shadows and spray your whole face with it when you’re done
- I see girls on here all the time saying not to wear falsies which I think is absolutely insane but my falsies advice is start with individuals and work up to strips. That’s what I did
- Exfoliate your face and use the Biore black head strips on your nose for smoother make up application
- Don’t leave your lower lash line bare. I see this so much and it’s super weird looking. Do a little eyeshadow and mascara at the least to complete the whole look
- Avoid matte lipstick/liquid lips unless you’re sure your lips are smooth hydrated and snatched otherwise they will look like a butthole in 15 minutes
- W/ eyebrows and make up: less is more girl. ESPECIALLY from a man’s perspective
- If you’re going to put a base shadow down before doing your eyeshadow look (which I’d recommend), avoid putting it anywhere you’ll put shimmer and instead fill that space with a cream eyeshadow or more primer to make that shimmer popppp - Wash your beauty blender every time you use it or it will grow mold I promise
- Buxom’s lip glosses are the absolute best. They are so high quality, smell good, last FOREVER, and tingle on your lips like mint
- Clean your make up brushes as often as you can (I wish I did more than I do) not only because it’s hygienic but because they will apply SO MUCH BETTER
- If your eyebrows are always rubbing off, invest in a waterproofing liquid to put over them. NYX has a cheap one that really works
- Make sure to go over the line of your falsies with black eyeliner to hide the glue. I don’t care if the glue is “clear” or “black” it’s visible
- If you can’t find a contour color that’s cool toned enough try an eyeshadow!
- Put tons of highlight on your cupid’s bow it’s so cute in my opinion and always gets lots of compliments
- TAKE YOUR MAKE UP OFF EVERY NIGHT. DO NOT SAVE YOUR MAKE UP FOR THE NEXT DAY. Some girls will fight me on this but imo no make up is cuter than gross make up and it’s so bad for your skin
- If your eyes are always watering your shit off get some anti-allergy or anti-dryness (whichever you think you have) eye drops
- You can exfoliate your lips before lipstick application easily with honey and sugar. Do this before putting on foundation and such. If you’re a bougie bitch you can buy scrubs from places like Lush
- I’m convinced that Burts Bees is the only chapstick I’ve ever used that didn’t make me end up needing chapstick more than I did in the first place
- If you don’t have time to wash off your make up then just use a make up wipe! The Kirkland brand ones are my all time faves because they don’t sting my eyes or leave a residue on my face
- Stop over washing your face. It makes it produce more oil to compensate and it could be why you have acne
- You don’t need to pay to get your brows waxed/threaded if you just pluck the spare 2 or 3 brows that grow out of place each day. You’ll keep your shape, save money, and your brows will always look good
- If you don’t use eyeshadow primer please buy some and watch your entire eyeshadow collection transform. If you can’t afford it but have concealer that’s second best and still works well
I could go on forever and might make a part two but I’m tired now. Probably going to make a make up favorites list by product category soon!
Message me with any make up questions ever because I love blabbing about it! Spread the luv and happy face beating!! 💄
Hoe tips..🤷🏻♀️👅💅🏼
a girl can respect herself and still take booty pics wtf y'all talkin about
SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK.
Dealing With Dandruff
This post was requested in an anonymous ask. Also, I know I’ve been MIA recently but I promise to address that and the fate of this blog in my next post.
Head and Shoulders Shampoo - (Zinc Carbonate) When it comes to dealing with dandruff, if it’s not too bad I feel like this is one of the first things you should/could try. Head and Shoulders softens the ‘scab’ you might feel on your scalp and washes it away when it’s loose or any dry flakes.
2.5% Selenium Sulfide Shampoo - you can get this as a prescription or in over the counter shampoos. I received this as a prescription from my doctor when my dandruff was extremely bad. However ever since I’ve been using the Selenium Sulfide Shampoo, my scalp hardly every flakes up anymore.
Apple Cider Vinegar - ACV works to relieve dry scalp by mixing equal amounts of ACV and water, letting it sit on your scalp for 20-30 minutes and then washing it out.
Olive Oil - Often times if you are suffering from light or mild dandruff and you visit the doctor, for a home remedy they’ll tell you to massage your scalp with olive oil before bed and then rinse the next morning.
Coconut Oil - Using coconut oil is similar to using olive oil. You massage a few tablespoons into your head, leave it for an hour and then shampoo and rinse.
Baking Soda - Baking soda removes dandruff by acting as a scrub. One way to do so is by mixing a teaspoon of baking soda in your shampoo and wash as normal. Or you could just mix some with water, apply to your scalp and then rinse after a few minutes.
Neem Leaves -boil water and soak neem leaves in it. When the water has cooled use the neem leaves water to rinse your hair to help get rid of dandruff.
Also greasing your scalp with hair grease or petroleum jelly can help with dry scalp.
PSA: Please teach your partner how to choke properly if you’re into that kind of thing.
The point of choking is not to crush the oesophagus, but rather to put light pressure on the carotid arteries to stop oxygen circulation to the brain. So tops, please create a V shape with your hands, which allows the fleshy part of the palm to rest against the oesophagus without causing any obstruction to the windpipe, and press down on the arteries. It’s not about stopping your bottom from breathing completely, but making them lightheaded.
This is very, very important!
Also, please don’t attempt any choking whilst under the influence because your better judgement may be impaired and you can cause some serious damage.
Choking is serious business, if you’re going to engage in it, please be sure to practise it properly and in a safe manner!
Important read.

In order to stop the culture of faking orgasms, we need to stop the culture of shaming others for their sexual experiences.
Can’t get your partner off on the first try? Cool. You can still be thoughtful and make them feel good.
Can get your partner off within 30 seconds? Awesome, good for you both, don’t let it get to your head.
Can make someone cum in less than 5, but for others, it’s a process that takes an hour? That’s alright, everyone’s different.
Does it take you 30 minutes to cum? That’s okay, you’re not broken, you’re not a failure.
Does it take you 10 seconds to cum? That’s great, you’re not a slut, you’re not overly sensitive or dirty.
Can’t cum without toys/vibrators? That’s awesome, that’s a valid part of sexual play!
Can only cum with loving, vanilla sex? That’s perfectly normal, and you will find lots of great partners to experience that with!
Can’t orgasm at all? THAT’S ALSO COOL. It’s not a bad thing, you can still enjoy sex TONNES just like others.
Orgasms are NOT the defining characteristic of your sexual prowess. They are great, they’re lovely when they happen, but for the love of science, stop bringing them up higher than they need to be.
the best hoe tip ever, orgasm in like 3 seconds
This shit low key legendary she can ride u.. rub her clit against your thigh and is in the prime angle for u to spank her at
Yall be lookin out frfr lol
Just gotta pass it on
Ladies I don’t mind if you rub yo clit on my thigh get your orgasm babe✨
i wonder if this works well if you’re fat?
Probably would tbh
Take it from your big sis, THIS POSITION IS FATTY APPROVED! This post ain’t nothin but the truth.
think twice before trusting“hoe tip” and “glo up” posts!
Listen, I’m not calling out all of these posts, because some have amazing tips… But some have absolutely APPALLING skincare advice. Here are a few tips to keep in mind when reading those posts:
Don’t use lemon on your face! It’s irritating and makes your skin photosensitive.
Don’t use bicarb soda on your face! It ruins the pH of your skin, which is there to protect it from bacteria.
If you want to use Apple Cider Vinegar, please for the love of god dilute it a LOT
Witch hazel can seriously dry out your skin.
Essential oils like tea tree oil need to be diluted.
Don’t use things like salt, sugar, etc. to exfoliate your face. Don’t use anything natural to exfoliate your face. It’s harsh and causes micro-tears in your skin, which causes a lot of damage in the long run.
On that note, do NOT use the St Ives Apricot Scrub, there is a literal lawsuit because of how bad it is. I don’t care if it’s helping your skin now, there are alternatives in the same price range that won’t cause long-term damage.
You have to moisturise. Even if you have oily skin. If you don’t, your skin will over-compensate with MORE oil. There are oil-free moisturises at every price point, guys.
A lot of products from Lush are very harsh. So be careful and check the ingredients.
A lot of people will make these posts and tell you their magical “cures” that helped their acne, and act like other people are idiots for using other things. That’s also bullshit, because everyone is different and will have different things work for them.
Coconut oil clogs pores, be careful.
Coconut oil may also make your hair brittle and dry, do your research before using it to make sure it’s appropriate for your hair type.
Cinnamon and other spices may burn your skin. You probably shouldn’t use them. But, they may not, so if you want to try them, make sure you patch test to make sure it doesn’t burn you.
Turmeric is good for your skin, but make sure you use good quality stuff. Some of it is dyed, which will in turn dye your skin. And nobody wants a bright yellow face.
When using any oil (coconut, olive, rosehip, etc) and things like honey, make sure it’s 100% pure, raw, and as unrefined as possible.
A lot of the tips are usually for the OP’s skin type. You probably have completely different skin. Remember that.
Okay that’s all I can think of right now. I love the girls who make these posts - like I said, they usually have a lot of great tips - but we need to remember that there is a lot of misleading information parading as scientific fact on the internet.
