It also soothes the skin, so that there’s no irritation while shaving.
During the shave, the PMB shaving cream is perfect for hydrating the skin and also creates and foamy, creamy lather, making it very easy to shave. It contains prickly pear seed oil and jojoba for added moisturization and suits all skin types.
Once you’ve completed your shave, opt for the PMB post-shave balm, which contains prickly pear seed extract and glycerine as well. It leaves the skin feeling smooth and soft, while also dealing with any irritation or dry patches after shaving.
