Do you recommended using it only on the parts that I remove hair or as a regular body moisturizer?I recommend using baby oil after bath/shower to my clients and they have great results. I couldn't say about after shaving as I don't want my clients to shave:twisted: Don't forget www.abitofrough.com or else it'll be like sticking back old wallpaper. You need the dead skin gone first.
I wonder if coconut oil is good to use also as an aftershave for the intimate areas and armpits.I really do not recommend using baby oil as it contains mineral oil which is bad for your skin and doesnt allow your skin to breath. Look for a natural moisturiser with healing ingredients such as lavender aloe and coconut oil

I agree with this. Mineral oil clogs pores which can cause breakouts. I would not use baby oil for after waxing. After waxing, I apply cortisone cream to reduce redness and swelling. Cortisone cream is great for that. For skin care after, I use coconut oil. Coconut oil is wonderful for all skin needs. It absorbs quickly, doesn't clog pores and smells great. I use it to cleanse my face and remove makeup. I have acne prone skin and coconut oil does not break it out. It seems counterintuitive, but oil will remove oil and clogged pores better than water and soap. I also use grape seed oil on it too. Natural oils, like coconut, grape seed, jojoba, etc are oils that will not clog pores. Each oil has a different use for it. I use it for my hair too. I apply it to dry hair, leave it in overnight then shampoo it out in the morning. Since I've been using natural oils on my skin, my is skin has changed greatly!

What's a good after waxing and shaving cream for body sensitive areas? It has to be with natural ingredients?I agree that natural oils are far more nourishing than mineral oil,but I wouldn't use cortisone as a general after wax cream.It is essentially a drug and is absorbed into the bloodstream and can have serious side effects on some people.Also the base of cortisone creams would almost certainly be liquid paraffin or mineral oil if that's what you are trying to avoid.
Where do you buy coconut oil? Do you recommend any in particular? Thanks, Laura.
Can I use Aloe Vera gel as a moisturizer after exfoliating the waxed parts(as Kim suggests doing with baby oil)? I'm asking this because if Aloe era works as an aftershave and also as a moisturizer for the shaving or waxing aftercare then there is no need to buy other products. I'm just getting around this grooming thing .I have bought it from various places in the past and use it for lomi lomi massage.
