Learn the correct order to use exfoliating toner pads and shave jelly for a smooth bikini line and fewer ingrown hairs.
Quick answer
Use Radiant Reset Exfoliating Toner Pads first to exfoliate and prep skin, then apply shave jelly for a close, irritation-free shave.
Why order matters
Exfoliating before shaving removes dead skin cells and lifts hairs, allowing the razor to glide smoothly. Applying shave jelly after exfoliation ensures the lubricating layer stays on clean skin, reducing friction and razor bumps.
If you reverse the order, the shave jelly can seal in debris and dull the razor faster, and the toner pad's acids may sting on freshly shaved skin.
Step-by-step routine
- 1. Cleanse and dry the area: Start with clean, dry skin on your bikini line or wherever you plan to shave. This ensures the toner pad works without interference from lotions or sweat. Skipping this step can reduce the toner's exfoliation effectiveness.
- 2. Swipe with Radiant Reset Toner Pad: Take one pad and gently sweep it over the area in one direction. Let the acids (AHAs and BHAs) work for about 30 seconds until the skin feels dry to the touch. Don't rinse it off—the formula is pH-balanced and meant to stay on. A stinging sensation means your skin barrier may be compromised; wait a day before trying again.
- 3. Apply shave jelly: Once the toner has fully dried, apply a generous layer of shave jelly over the same area. The jelly creates a protective cushion so the razor glides without dragging. Using too little jelly increases friction and the risk of razor burn. Add more if you feel any tugging.
- 4. Shave with a sharp, clean razor: Shave in the direction of hair growth using short, light strokes. Rinse the blade after every pass to keep it effective. Shaving against the grain can cause ingrown hairs, even with exfoliation. Stick with the grain if you're prone to bumps.
- 5. Rinse and moisturize: After shaving, rinse the area with cool water and pat dry. Follow with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer or ingrown hair oil to soothe and hydrate. Avoid applying toner pads again right after shaving—your skin is more sensitive and the acids may cause irritation.
