QUARANTINING WITH YOUR BUSH
Let’s face it, the modern woman receives a few raised eyebrows if her armpit, leg and pubic hair is overgrown. While we may have those hipster Brooklyn babes who rock hair without any care in the world and relish showing off their unique grown out parts, and HBO’s High Maintenance lead character, Lee, is also into this phenomenon, we aren’t all on that same wavelength!
We can agree these amazing, strong women aren’t the majority and reflect probably less than 10% of how women feel about body hair. With the advancement in technology and multiple options to remove unwanted body hair, it has given us choices to think about - but since COVID-19, it's been another thing.
For safety and health reasons, we’ve turned to ourselves to deal with our hair woes.
We have seen it become more and more complicated to access these options given Covid-19. That’s why theGIRLMOB partnered with completely bare, a brand made for women by women. To show our readers that they can get affordable, safe and clean products to remove the unwanted hair that has been admittedly growing since maybe even before quarantine started, cause let’s be real.
Let’s start with our PITS.
Armpit hair’s sole function is to capture sweat and odor. Now, that function wasn’t created with the presumptions that we’d eventually throw in deodorant and clothing into the mix. Completely Bare has two products to use for your underarms. First completely SMOOTH, works as a preventative gel that is applied on your underarms for shaving. It prevents bumps and ingrown hairs with the soothing properties of jojoba oil to avoid irritation and hydrating benefits of aloe vera. We love following up with pit STOP, which is used after hair removal as a deodorant and hair inhibitor. Packed with skin softening ingredients like coconut oil and aloe leaf juice to calm the skin. This means, not only do your pits smell good, hair is less likely to grow back with the help of powerful plant extracts!
Now, on to our bikini area.
We all have pubic hair and it does have a function; to protect the sensitive skin on our genital areas along with lessening impact and reducing friction during sex. If you rock a full grown bush, more power to you. My mom has one and she is an absolute badass! For the women that prefer a bare vagina, surely quarantine has made you appreciate your esthetician a whole lot more. Pubic hair also captures odors and sweat. Completely Bare has an array of products to help tame the jungle brought upon during quarantine. The bikini bump BLASTER is perfect for those uncomfortable and sensitive bumps post-shave in the bikini area. The glycolic and salicylic acid work together to prep and clean the oily wax buildup our body produces in the sebaceous glands. The green tea extract has our back to prevent the wrinkly vagina we fear.
Let’s talk about LEGS.
Leg hair on our body was to provide us warmth and protect us from insects and creatures. Now that we’ve found plants and natural sprays to get rid of the bugs, let’s talk about getting rid of those leg hairs. Some of us vary in the frequency of how often we shave our legs whether it’s a couple times a week or once a month. Completely Bare offers this great product called easy OFF so that you don't have to go through the labor of shaving.The easy OFF is a foaming hair removal spray that you spray on your leg, wipe away and rinse. To minimize hair growing back, spoil yourself with the don’t grow THERE body moisturizer. This unique product carries moisturizing shea butter and white willow bark that cools the skins to prevent razor bumps. We use it the day after shaving but can be used twice a day for up to 28 days to minimize the thickness or hair while preventing it from growing back. This product is Godsent.
Although hair does serve some type of purpose, for those who want to get rid of it, you can depend on completely bare. Not only do we love how it smells and feels but it also barely dents that government stimulus check we’ve been scraping by with. All of their products are PETA certified and cruelty free and formulated without parabens and phthalates. If you want to check out their products you can visit completelybare.com.
