Cleopatra used to bathe in milk to undo the ravages of the desert wind and keep her skin kissable and soft for Marcus Anthony and Julius Caesar. Two uber powerful men at once: girlfriend must have been doing something right! I feel her pain, because my skin in winter does the desert routine, and my standard body lotion doesn't touch the dry itchiness where I shave my legs. I refuse to go the Chewbacca route just because it's long pants season, so I tried replacing my standard drugstore cowgirl favorite Aveeno Shave Cream with another drugstore find: Skin Milk Shaving Milk.

The soft vanilla scent is pleasant and ingredients like botanical white lily and comfrey soften the stubble, allowing you to get the closest shave imaginable. But the proof is in the itching! After showers, my legs are smooth and soft and good enough for the ruler of a powerful nation. Hmmm, I hear Sarkozy is available.
