Gearing up for summer beauty and a new routine doesn’t usually take me long.
I live in jeans and t-shirts (sometimes with long sleeves!) for winter. If I’m lucky, I’ll wear a sweater or jacket a few times over the season. I never worry about how my legs look. I’ll go weeks on end without shaving during the winter months and my poor husband has to suffer. By the end of March I am starting to pack up jeans and swap them out for shorts. South Texas doesn’t usually get a spring so there is not much need for pants by April. I don’t love shorts because I don’t love my legs. I inherited my dad’s ‘stove pipe’ legs. They aren’t beautiful or sexy. I have cankles all the time and they aren’t cute. But shorts are a necessity in South Texas.
This year has been a little different – it was cooler much longer than usual. We still have jeans in our drawers and I’ve just started pulling out the shorts. But I’ll be wearing those shorts very soon so it was time to go to Walmart and pick up my summer beauty supplies – a new can of Skintimate shave gel in Mandarin Burst, a bottle of Hawaiian SPF lotion and a new razor – the Schick Quattro.
I’ve used a man’s razor for at least the last 10 years, so I was a little nervous about switching to the Schick Quattro but I loved it! My legs were way smoother than they have been in a long time. I even felt a little more confident in my appearance. I almost didn’t care that my legs are ‘stove pipes’! The Mandarin Burst shave gel smells amazing – just like summer!

I don’t like my legs so I usually wear jeans or yoga pants, but I usually just shave my legs. I need to be more diligent about applying lotions.
I started using Skintimate shave gel a few years ago, although I haven’t tried the Mandarin Burst but the ones I’ve used all smelled good and it goes on smoothly.
I think I really want to try that razor. I’ve always been a fan of Hawaiian Tropic but that razor looks exactly like something I’d love to use with all those blades and the moisturizing strip. While I love shave gels, I usually don’t mess with one additional product in the shower 😉
I always use a shave gel! ALWAYS. And, here in Connecticut, I’m still wearing sweatpants sometimes!
Now THIS is a summer package I could really use. Always liked the skintimate products and with less being worn in summer it is always important to me to keep my legs shaved.
Definitely must haves for summer. I didn’t know that Skintimate had a new scent. Will have to check it out!
Cute sandals! I don’t like my legs either, I bet most women don’t.
Those sandals are SUPER comfy! I might have to stitch one of the flowers back on pretty soon, but I’m ok with that!
These look like great products for summer, I’m already a huge fan of the schick quatro!
I’m the same way about not loving how I look in shorts but them being totally necessary here. I love these products too, the razor gets a surprisingly close shave! By the way, your shoes are so cute!
I love Skintimate for the way it works and their heavenly smells! I shave 365/365 so I need the right tools!
my legs are in need of a pedicure and thorough moisturizing after this winter
I love these products, especially the Schick Hydro Razor. I have to put on a lot of lotion because my legs are dry. Also, my legs are pale and I use a self tanner to give them a little color.
Great products. I love pampering my skin.
Just recently I started waxing but I have got to start putting on lotion and sunblock. My poor skin burns so bad.
I’m kind of in the same boat as you, living in Georgia. Shorts are necessary! That shave gel sounds lovely!
Ohhh your sandals are super cute! I have used the Schick Quattro Hydro Silk and I like it.I shave my legs almost daily and use lot’s of moisturizer though I am not much of a shorts person.Bird legs are not attractive lol.
Schick razors rule! I use them all of the time!!
I am sooo bad…I usually just use soap or conditioner.
I use and love all of those products! I just wish that razor blades weren’t so darn expensive. Your sandals are adorable too!
Hi, Sara. Glad you had success switching to a new razor! #client
