If you have accidentally cut yourself while shaving your legs and now you are wondering are you even doing it right? I mean you are of course doing it the way it is supposed to be, but it's just not possible that you haven't accidentally cut yourself while eagerly removing that pesky hair that keeps you from wearing your cute skirts and favourite shorts.

GirlStyle Pro Tip:  

Rinse the cut with water and grab your lip balm to do the job. Yeah! It sounds weird but just think about it. What is the only item that can easily heal your dry and chapped lips in no time, can also heal your minor razor cut. These lips balms are made of hydrating ingredients like shea butter, aloe vera and nourishing oils like coconut that can help heal the cut faster. It also seals the skin and stops the bleeding, due to its waxy texture. We suggest you grab the classic Vaseline petroleum jelly tube and take some on a Q-tip or a cotton pad and then apply on the cut.
