Why do we have pubic hair?

There are several reasons women have pubic hair. One is to reduce friction that may otherwise occur during intercourse while another is to help prevent pathogens being passed on. Some scientists also think it helps to transmit pheromones, or scented chemical secretions, from the body. Nevertheless, many people prefer to remove it. Therefore, knowing how to shave your bikini line properly will help you to do so safely.

Can you use Gillette Venus Skin Smooth Exfoliant on a shaved vagina?

Yes, you can. What's more, doing so won't make female pubic hair grow back any faster, a common misconception. One reason women exfoliate in between bikini line shaves is to help prevent ingrown hairs from developing as they begin to grow back.

Formulated to smooth your skin and help to protect it against nicks and cuts

Supplied in a handy 177ml container, the Gillette Venus Skin Smooth Exfoliant for Pubic Hair and Skin gently removes dead skin cells from your bikini line. It will also help to wash away the naturally occurring sebum from the skin's surface that can lead to trapped or ingrown hairs. Fine smoothing particles in the formulation lightly exfoliate the skin's surface for pubic hair removal.

Exfoliant that can be used between shaves

The Gillette Venus skin-smoothing exfoliant can be used on days you will be shaving your pubic hair or in between bikini line removal days. Either way, it will smooth your skin and help protect against nicks and cuts when shaving pubic hair.

A gynaecologist-tested exfoliant

A series of dermatological tests have been carried out on this product to ensure it is soft on skin when exfoliating. The pubic hair removal exfoliant has also been gynaecologically tested.

How do I use my Gillette Venus Skin Smoothing Exfoliant?

This Gillette Venus pubic hair exfoliant, like all Gillette Venus products including our dermaplaning range, has been designed to be easy to use at home with no special skills required. To exfoliate your pubic skin, simply dispense some of the Gillette Venus exfoliant into your hand and gently rub it over the skin you want to exfoliate with a little water. Doing so will help to remove dead skin cells which can get in the way of a close shave.

How often do I need to use the Gillette Venus Skin Smooth Exfoliant for Pubic Hair and Skin?

You can use the Gillette Venus pubic hair exfoliant every day if you want. Many women will find that applying a skin exfoliant once a week or so is adequate to remove sebum and other unwanted material from their skin. If you plan on shaving your pubic hair with a Gillette Venus razor, then use it to exfoliate yourself first.

Is the Gillette Venus Skin Smoothing Exfoliant suitable for all skin types?

Yes, this exfoliant has been dermatologist-tested and is ideal for pubic hair removal regardless of skin type. Don't use it on broken skin, but anyone can make use of it, even if they tend to suffer from skin sensitivity. Also bear in mind that, because the Gillette Venus Skin Smooth Exfoliant for Pubic Hair and Skin has been gynaecologist-tested too, it is ideal for potentially more sensitive parts of the body, such as the bikini area.
