Conditioner isn't just for the hair on your head, it's great for hair anywhere on your body, including your public hair! It reduces friction for a smoother shave.
This may seem like an obvious one but it's still a great substitute as it's easily accessible and provides lubrication and moisture.
This one's great because it forms a protective barrier, allowing the razor to glide easily.
Coconut Oil is a popular substitute because its both anti-microbial & anti-inflammatory so it's great for preventing razor burn and bumps.
Aloe has always been known to soothe skin and reduce redness and inflammation which is great for sensitive areas like the pubic area.
Another Oldie but Goodie, Shea Butter is super moisturizing, so it nourishes skin, promoting a close and comfortable shave.
Although this one may seem a little surprising, it's an effective alternative to shaving cream because it contains lactic acid, which acts as a natural exfoliant.
Much like with Shea Butter, Body lotions biggest selling point is that it hydrates skin and helps the razor glide smoothly, minimizing irritation.
