Best Shaving Creams for Dry and Sensitive Skin

If your skin is dry and sensitive, choosing the perfect shaving cream can be difficult. Shaving itself can be drying and irritating, and if the wrong cream is used, it can be a true disaster. However, using the right shaving cream can help to maintain and even provide moisture. To get sexy, smooth legs, it starts with knowing the right shaving products.

Here are a few products that will help in making legs smooth and silky with every shave:

Shave Gel

When you are looking for something simple and inexpensive, shave gel is generally a good choice. Noxema Hair Minimizing Shave Gel is a good choice, and not only does it help with moisturizing, but it also helps to minimize hair. With minimizing hair, you will likely have to shave less often, saving built-in moisture. Remember that a little gel goes a long way, and when mixed with a bit of water it lathers up a lot.

Tube Cream Shave

Tube cream shave is not aerosol-based. Being that it tends to have fewer chemicals than aerosol-based shaving creams, those with extra-sensitive skin are the perfect candidates for this type of shaving cream. The Alba Botanica Moisturizing Unscented Cream Shave is a solid choice because it is unscented and soap-free, and contains chamomile, vitamin E, aloe and jojoba to help soothe the skin.

Moist Shave

Moist shave is an interesting type of shaving cream that is almost not cream-like. This can be incredibly moisturizing, especially Kiss My Face Fragrance Free Moist Shave. It has an antiseptic in it to help prevent bacteria -- which is great for those with conditions like folliculitis -- and vitamins and natural essential oils to soak the skin in moisture.

Natural Shave Cream

Natural shave creams will often be great for sensitive skin because they lack many of the chemicals that can irritate the skin. Sonoma Soap Unscented Natural Skin Smoothing Shave Cream is free from artificial colors and parabens. It contains natural emollients and organic olive leaf, aloe and grape seed extract. All of these are almost guaranteed to give users a moisturizing and irritation-free shave.

Organic Shave Gel

Organic shave gel is basically like other shave gels, but without the synthetic ingredients. Dr. Bonner Dr. Bronner's Shave Gel Lavender is a good choice when it comes to organic shave gels. It contains organic Shikakai, which gives shavers a very moisturizing and soothing glide. It also wets well and catches on to hairs effectively.
