Hot Girl Summer Meets Smooth Girl Summer: Shaving, Sweating, and Staying Balanced
Look—we’re not saying summer is out to get your Nookie, but between the heat, humidity, sweat, chlorine, tight swimsuits, and all that shaving... your skin and pH can be on the struggle bus real quick. One week you’re smooth and glowing, and the next you’re wondering why your inner thighs feel like a Braille book and your bikini line is throwing a fit. 😩
Let’s break down the best way to care for your skin and your Nookie when the summer sun is turning up the heat—and how Pink Nookie products are about to be your new shaving-season saviors.
So You’re Shaving More. Now What?
Shaving is a lot in the summer. Legs, pits, bikini line, maybe even the full kitty. Add in sweat, friction, and your favorite new cheeky bikini that barely covers the goods—and boom: irritation, ingrowns, and imbalances.
What’s Actually Happening:
- Microtears from shaving can make your skin more sensitive to bacteria and sweat.
- Friction from clothing (or body-to-body 👀) rubs your freshly shaved skin raw.
- Sweat and heat create a perfect storm for bumps, odor, and itchiness.
And let’s be honest—ain’t nobody got time for that when it’s brunch, beach, and rooftop season.
The Summer Shave-Down Routine (PN Edition)
Here’s how to glow and stay balanced this season. No more trial-and-error with TikTok trends—just a tried-and-true routine for smooth skin and a happy V.

1. Start With a Gentle Cleanse
You wouldn’t wax your eyebrows without wiping them down first—so don’t go near your Nookie with a razor until you’ve cleaned her up.
🛁 Use: Nookie Cleanser or V-Spot Bar
These both gently cleanse without stripping your pH. The V-Spot Bar is perfect if you want a hands-free option or have sensitive skin.
Think of it as a soft reset before the shave. Clean skin = less chance for irritation.
2. Exfoliate That Skin—Gently
Exfoliation helps prevent ingrown hairs and gets rid of dead skin. But be gentle—this isn’t the time to scrub like you’re trying to win a prize.
🛁 Use: The Nookie Scrub!
Do this before you shave—not after. Shaving on freshly exfoliated skin gives you a closer, smoother finish, helps remove any skin covering up hair that needs to be released, and removes any dirt build up.
Smooth That Bikini Line
3. Shave With Intention
Use a clean, sharp razor (replace it more often than you think), shave with the grain first, and only go against if absolutely necessary. Always use a gentle shaving cream or oil—nothing that dries you out.
4. Post-Shave is Prime Time
Here’s where most people mess up. Your skin is vulnerable after a shave—so what you do next matters.
🛁 Use: Nookie Glaze
This is your ride-or-die summer serum. It hydrates, soothes, and helps brighten dark marks from old bumps or scars. She’s light enough for daily use and powerful enough to calm freshly shaved skin.
5. Stay Balanced Daily
You can’t out-shave bad hygiene or poor pH. Sweat, chlorine, tight clothes, and even stress can throw you off. Keep your daily maintenance game tight.
🛁 Use: Nookie Balancer
This little gem keeps you fresh, keeps odor in check, and helps prevent those “wait…what’s that?” moments in the mirror.
