Shaving Myths You Probably Still Believe (But Shouldn’t)

Shaving Myths You Probably Still Believe (But Shouldn’t)

And what to actually do instead—with Mi-el Skincare by your side.

If shaving your bikini line feels like a guaranteed recipe for redness, bumps, or irritation—you’re not alone. But what if we told you that a lot of the problems you’re having are based on total myths?

Let’s bust some of the most common shaving myths and get your bikini line smooth, bump-free, and glowing with a little help from Mi-el’s Smooth Shaving Bundle.

Myth #1: Shaving Makes Your Hair Grow Back Thicker

Nope. Not true. Shaving simply cuts the hair at a blunt angle, which can make it feel more coarse as it grows back—but it’s not growing back faster, thicker, or darker.

What to do instead:
Use a gentle exfoliator like Mi-el’s Strawberry Kiss Sugar Scrub before shaving. It helps lift hair, smooth the skin, and prevent those harsh-feeling regrowth stubs.


Myth #2: You Don’t Need to Exfoliate Before You Shave

Wrong again. Exfoliating before shaving helps remove dead skin cells and unclogs hair follicles—aka fewer ingrown hairs and razor bumps.

What to do instead:
Start your shave routine with our Strawberry Kiss Sugar Scrub to prep your skin the right way. It’s gentle, smells amazing, and makes a real difference.


Myth #3: Shaving Cream Is Optional

Water alone doesn’t cut it. Shaving dry or with just soap can lead to unnecessary friction and irritation.

What to do instead:
Use a nourishing oil like Mi-el’s Beekini Oil as your shaving glide. It’s non-comedogenic, ultra-hydrating, and gives your razor the slip it needs—without clogging pores.


Myth #4: Razor Burn Is Just Part of the Process

If you always get razor burn, something’s not right with your technique—or your aftercare.

What to do instead:
Soothe and protect your skin post-shave with our Bump Bee Gone Cream. It’s powered by glycolic acid to gently exfoliate and prevent bumps, while calming botanicals help reduce redness and inflammation.


Myth #5: Your Bikini Line Doesn’t Need Skincare

Your bikini line deserves just as much care as your face or underarms. It’s sensitive, reactive, and needs support—especially if you’re shaving regularly.

What to do instead:
Build a mini routine with the Smooth Shaving Bundle—exfoliate, shave with oil, and follow up with the Bump Bee Gone Cream. You’ll notice the difference immediately.


The Bottom Line

Smooth, bump-free skin starts with unlearning the bad habits and replacing them with smarter, skin-loving rituals. Mi-el’s Smooth Shaving Bundle takes the guesswork out of it—because skincare shouldn’t stop at your bikini line.
