This Is What Happens When You Stop Shaving

Thickness of hair, in general, determines how you moisturize

While the thickness of your hair doesn't change when you stop shaving, it does dictate what type of moisturizer you should use. Aigen says that, in general, you'll want to avoid thick ointments or heavy creams as hair acts as a barrier, so it will prevent topical moisturizers from hydrating the skin. Because of that, she says to stick to products with thinner consistencies or something that is oil-based. We like Vanicream's Lite Lotion.
