FORMER Love Island winner and current all star contestant Millie Court has revealed her go-to tip for a smooth shave.
The 29-year-old shared exactly how she avoids dreaded razor bumps while in the villa.
Millie, who won season 7 alongside her ex Liam Reardon, recently re-entered the villa for this year’s all star series.
And while she was widely remembered for her crowning moment, along with her iconic friendship with fellow islander Chloe Burrows, Millie’s flawless appearance is also a huge part of her Love Island legacy.
She previously spoke to Grazia about her various beauty tricks, including a hack for shaving.
“I have a little trick that I use when I shave to get a very nice, clean bikini line – no shaving rash,” she told the outlet.

Millie broke down each step of her shaving routine, beginning with a warm water wash.
And instead of using shaving foam, she opted for another bathroom essential.
“Put on – I use conditioner, so I was using Boots conditioner (in the villa)- put that down there,” Millie explained.
“And then as soon as you’ve shaved, run over with cold water so that your pores close, at the end of the shower.”
Most conditioners contain silicones or oils which provide a high level of lubrication, this allows the razor to glide easily over the skin.
And unlike soap, conditioner is specifically formulated to soften hair fibers, which can lead to a smoother cut.
It also works to moisturise, leaving the skin feeling silkier and more hydrated than traditional foaming shaving cream.
However, her real trick comes in the post-shave after care, with a handy product saving the day.
“Then the trick is to put on aloe vera. So I had a big tub of aloe vera and told all the girls about it,” she recalled.
“You put it on, and it’s just like a cooling, soothing product, and didn’t have any bikini rash. So that’s my little tip for you guys.”
The science backs this trick, with the National Library of Medicine previously conducting an experiment on aloe vera in 2019.
It concluded that aloe vera is effective in treating a wide variety of wounds, including reducing inflammation and promoting healing.
So even if you’re not prone to sun burns, pack some aloe vera for your next holiday.
