Editor confessions: 22 slightly embarrassing things we use on the sly

“My sensitive skin hates shaving. I’ve tried everything in the book — razors, exfoliators, oils, creams, you name it — and nothing seems to work. About a year ago, I took the plunge and invested in laser hair removal (an obsession of mine!), and the technician oh-so-kindly pointed out my red, irritated skin. And while it was humbling to say the least, she did me a favor by suggesting this affordable, skin-saving solution, which is essentially an alcohol-based aftershave. It isn’t sexy by any means, but it works like magic — just apply it to a cotton ball, gently wipe it over shaved areas and follow up with a quality moisturizer. I’ve learned the hard way that consistency is key, so I make sure to use it every single time I shave for happier, bump-free skin.” — Amanda Garrity, Gifting Editor
