Smooth and Hydrated: Using a Lotion Bar on Your Legs After Shaving
There’s no better feeling than freshly shaved legs—except, of course, when they’re silky smooth and deeply hydrated. While traditional lotions can feel greasy or take forever to absorb, lotion bars are the ultimate post-shave solution. Here’s why they’re perfect for your legs and how to make the most of them after shaving.
Why a Lotion Bar is Perfect for Post-Shave Care
Shaving can leave your skin feeling dry, irritated, and in need of extra care. Lotion bars provide a concentrated dose of natural, nourishing ingredients like cocoa butter, shea butter, and essential oils that soothe and hydrate your skin without the mess of liquid lotions. Plus, their solid form makes them easy to apply exactly where you need moisture most.
How to Use a Lotion Bar After Shaving
Follow these simple steps to unlock the full benefits of your lotion bar for post-shave care:
1. Pat Your Skin Dry (But Not Too Dry) After shaving, gently pat your legs with a towel to remove excess water but leave them slightly damp. Lotion bars work best when applied to damp skin, as the moisture helps lock in hydration.
2. Glide and Massage Glide the bar directly over your legs, focusing on areas that feel especially dry or sensitive. Then use your hands to massage the product into your skin. The rich formula will absorb quickly, leaving your legs soft and smooth without feeling sticky.
3. Pay Extra Attention to Trouble Spots If you tend to get razor bumps or dry patches, give those areas a little extra love with the lotion bar. Ingredients like shea butter and essential oils can help soothe irritation and reduce redness.
4. Store Your Lotion Bar Properly After use, store your lotion bar in a dry spot, ideally in a dish.

Shampoo bars are an an eco-friendly alternative to good old fashioned shampoos because they use less water and no plastic! I bought the argan shampoo bar and already knew I would love it from the packaging, The box is minimalist and adorable and it has cute artwork on the inside. I love that there is no plastic packaging. When you open it, the soap is in a cute little compostable container. And the smell is divine! I love that the ingredients are clean, unlike a lot of personal care products out there on the market. I was excited to take it for a spin and was pleasantly surprised by how much it lathered up in the shower. It's moisturizing but not heavy! I'm keeping it on a soap dish in my shower so it has somewhere to drain/dry out. The only thing I would change is the price. It would be amazing if it were possible to make it a little more affordable to the mainstream.
This is the only purple Shampoo I have tried that’s actually able to lighten my hair! I have thick hair in a darker blonde color, and normally after using purple shampoo it looks the same as before. With this one, my hair stylist noticed my hair was lighter, and I didn’t even bring it up! And yes, I follow instructions!
I purchased the purple shampoo and conditioner bars & am very pleased with the results. It has definitely toned down the yellowing of my gray hair and does not dry my hair out. I will be ordering again for sure.
I color my hair and have tried many products that deal with toning down the orange, but nothing has worked as well as the purple bars for shampoo and conditioner. My hair has never looked or felt better. I love this product.
I have searched far and wide for a good shower streamer. These smell amazing and have amazing benefits. The eucalyptus and tea tree is powerful and refreshing. I love them! Thank you Parrotfish!
I was skeptical, but wanted to give the purple shampoo and conditioner a try. Only had to lather and wash once, compared to 2-3 times with my regular shampoo. The conditioner worked well, too. I might do the extra conditioning to experiment. So glad I decided to buy this!
It has been a couple months now using this shampoo and conditioner and my only regret is not trying it sooner. A couple years ago I switched from mainstream products to trying several more natural brands. A friend suggested this bar set and I just couldn’t wrap my head around the idea of Bar soap working on my fine, flat, greasy hair. My mistake. Most recently the bottled brand i was using started causing my scalp to itch and I needed to find something else. saw an ad for this and gave it a try. I LOVE the scent, the shampoo lathers so easily, and it took a minute to get used to the conditioner (follow the instructions and get a good comb to use in the shower to distribute it) but my hair has never looked and felt better. Healthier, stronger, softer, and I no longer use styling products. Thank you for such a great product!
I purchased two of the soap dishes. One fits my shampoo and conditioner bars. The other is for my soap. While some may disagree, I leave my soap stiuck to the holder, and rub it on my loofah! Not a requirement. A convenience!
