• For daily use: use immediately after shaving to moisturize the skin while soothing irritation and razor burn; begin using 48 hours after waxing/sugaring to prevent and treat ingrown hairs.

I love it for calming bikini line madness AND minimizing ingrown potential on my legs, which are more apparent in the summer months thanks to my self-tanning addiction. Get involved, stat.
