I tried viral shave butter, my legs have never been smoother – I'll never go back to foam
When it comes to summertime you want to wear short skirts and vest tops.

And for many, getting the pins out means hacking away at the winter fuzz.
I'm a dark-haired lass which means I don't have the luxury of just leaving it be.
Usually I opt for waxing, as it lasts longer and gets a smoother result.
However, it costs a fortune - and I find it really hard to fit in appointments around work.
But the team at Superdrug recently urged me to try one of their new, viral products, Mallows Shave Butter.
The beauty innovation is the brainchild of Laura Mallows, a Cardiff-born entrepreneur who has a background in working for skincare firms.
Fed up with not having her ideas taken seriously, she started up her own firm and quickly gathered steam on social media with her bright, fun and super smelling line.
Now, just six years after starting up, she's being stocked in Superdrug, and was recently in Glasgow as part of the store's Beauty Playground launch.
And one of her top sellers is Shave Butter.
It really does look and smell good enough to eat. I tried the 'I'm a Mallows Girl' option, packed with nourishing shea butter and grapeseed oil to help banish painful razor rash - something I often suffer from.

It's suggested you exfoliate the skin first, which I did, before wetting your legs and lathering up with the butter.
It goes on like silk and the razor just glides over your legs.
I was actually stunned by how close a shave I got and how smooth my legs felt afterwards.
Usually my legs are spiky a couple of hours after shaving - but 24 hours on and they're still softer than a baby's backside.
It's £14.95 for a tub but it really does go a long way - and is still a fraction of the price of a waxing appointment. A good deal all round!
