13 shaving creams for women that'll leave you feeling silky smooth, for every body part and skin type (yes, including sensitive skin)
Sure, deliberating over the best shaving cream for women is not something you'd historically spend a lot of time on when it comes to shopping for new beauty products. Certainly not as much time as you'd spend on finding a new moisturiser or facial serum, for example. But since investing in a top-rated shaving gel or women's shaving cream could be the difference between dry, irritated skin and silky-smooth limbs, perhaps you should. If you prefer to get rid of your body hair every now and then, of course.
We've tried and tested a whole bunch of shaving creams for women to curate a handy edit of the very best, separated by body part and skin type. From the best shaving cream for pubic hair removal to the best shaving cream for legs, we've found every shaving gel you need to add to your hair-removal arsenal sharpish. Including the much-loved EOS shaving cream, of course.
Speaking of EOS shaving cream, it's for sure up there with our favourites. Available in the most divine pomegranate and raspberry scent, it hits every one of our shaving cream criteria. It's easy to dispense the foam with the soft-touch pump bottle, it's super moisturising (the formula is packed with shea butter and vitamins C and E to make it suitable for wet or dry shaving), and once again, it smells incred. Go get it.
Elsewhere, Sunny shave gel is another GLAMOUR favourite. You can buy a bottle of the shave mousse on its own in the brand's Summer Lily scent, or you can bag yourself a "shave kit" from Amazon, containing a women's razor, four refill blades with lubricated strips and a shave gel for £17. Either way, both formulations are luxurious and rich, making light work of shaving and leaving your skin feeling nourished.
