There are certain things that we do more frequently in summer. Visit the beach for prolonged periods of time (wearing plenty of sunscreen, of course), rock everything from miniskirts to micro shorts and shave our legs, armpits and bikini lines pretty much every single day of the week. Which means we need to stock up on the best shaving creams currently on offer.
You may still be using your drugstore fail-safe, but shaving has come a long way lately. There are now gels that morph into milks or oils and even gel sticks that make getting rid of hair anywhere on the go easy-peasy. You also need to pay attention to ingredients to find a formula tailored to your skin, whether yours is sensitive, dry or prone to ingrown hairs.
Instead of searching all over online to find your new summer staple, we've compiled the best shaving creams in one place. Keep reading to see which one you should add to your seasonal shopping list.
