The $12 Oil That’s Been Silently Changing My Shaving Game

Hey Simplifiers,

This week’s topic is soft, simple, and probably sitting in someone’s Amazon cart right now. Let’s talk body hair. Specifically, how I’ve been lowkey slowing mine down over the last year. If you’ve been dealing with thick regrowth, frequent shaving, or just want smoother skin with less maintenance, this one’s for you.

My Two-Step Routine (That Actually Works)

So here’s the deal:
I started using Cyperus Rotundus Oil about a year ago after finding it on TikTok (shoutout to Nina Pool). I had nothing to lose—and now I’m mad I didn’t try it sooner.

How I use it:
🧴 Step 1: Apply it right after I shave or use hair removal cream
🧴 Step 2: Reapply the next day after showering

And that’s literally it. I don’t use it every day. Just twice per shave.

The result?
My hair hasn’t completely disappeared, but it’s definitely coming back thinner, slower, and less aggressive across the board:

• underarms

• legs

• stomach

• chin

• bikini area

You name it—it’s made a difference. And for around $12, it’s been one of the most affordable slow beauty swaps I’ve made.

Why This Counts as Self-Care

Self-care isn’t always bubble baths and $100 face masks. Sometimes, it’s making small changes that make life easier, smoother, and less rushed. This oil has helped me simplify my routine and save time, both of which feel pretty luxurious tbh.
