Skintimate Skin Therapy Dry Skin Women's Shave Gel

MoisturizingHydrogenated vegetable oil, Olea europaea fruit oil + 4 moreNot delivered
“Skintimate Dry Skin Women's Shave Gel is made especially for women with dry skin who crave the moisturization of a rich, protective gel.”
Does not contain the most effective ingredients for moisturization. The emollients (hydrogenated vegetable oil, olea europaea fruit oil) can help soften the upper layer of the skin. Keep in mind though that this product lacks humectants that attract water. You might want to use a separate product with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin in addition (use before this product for the best results).
