After Shave Tips for Women

• Use a gentle after shave deodorant that won't irritate skin.

• Look for products that contain calming ingredients like aloe vera and witch hazel.

• Avoid spritzing on eau de parfum straight after shaving.

FAQ – After Shave for Women

What Is After Shave Oil for Women?

After shave oil is an oil designed to soothe, hydrate, and protect freshly shaved skin. It's made with nourishing, anti-inflammatory ingredients like niacinamide, vitamin E, tea tree, peptides, and hyaluronic acid to treat and prevent razor burn, ingrowns hairs, and skin irritation.

Unlike traditional men’s aftershaves, women’s formulas are typically alcohol-free, enriched with nourishing oils, vitamins, and soothing botanicals that prevent redness, razor burn, and ingrown hairs while leaving skin soft and radiant.

Why Should Women Use After Shave Oil?

After shave oils are lightweight, fast-absorbing, and packed with premium-grade ingredients that calm irritation, lock in moisture, and reduce bumps. Applying an after shave oil immediately after shaving helps protect your skin, keeps it smooth, and gives your skin a gleaming glow.

What’s a Good After Shave for Women?

Some top options include Glazed Donut After Shave Oil for hydration, Smooth Legend Serum for preventing ingrowns, and Soft Serve After Shave Oil for soothing and softening the skin.

Can Women Use Men’s After Shave?

Technically yes, but most men’s aftershaves contain alcohol or strong astringents that can irritate women’s skin. Women’s aftershaves are specially formulated to nourish, calm, and hydrate — making them the safer, smoother choice for silky, bump-free skin.

How Soon After Shaving Should I Apply After Shave?

The best time is immediately after towel-drying. Your pores are open and ready to absorb hydration, so applying your after shave oil or moisturizer now locks in moisture, calms irritation, and prevents bumps before they start.

Are After Shave Products Only for Legs?

Not at all! After shave for women is perfect for legs, underarms, bikini lines, arms, or anywhere you shave. 

If you haven’t got one or more of the five above post shave products in your life, now’s the time! Seriously...shave days will be so much chiller when you’ve got these baddies in your bathroom. You don’t need to use all five. We suggest using 2-3 to leave your skin truly happy after shaving.
