The body lotion I normally use is running out, but it's kinda too expensive for me to buy another one of so I can't. All the ones my budget allows me to buy are perfumed, but I've heard that those can irritate the skin or make the irritation from shaving even worse. Is that true?

What I'm planning on buying for reference: https://www.amazon.com/Nivea-Aloe-Hydration-Lotion-400ml/dp/B079KGC4NZ

I’ve read better things about [eos lotion](https://www.amazon.com/eos-Cashmere-Moisture-Lightweight-Non-Greasy or I like [honest lotion](https://www.amazon.com/Honest-Hypoallergenic-Naturally-Botanicals-Sensitive/, not because Nivea is necessarily heavily perfumed, just because of the ingredients: glycerin and alcohol being one of the first ones.

If lotion only specifies it’s perfumed, then it probably isn’t hydrating/more chance of ingrown hairs. Best of luck!

Thanks for the response! I'll check for those ingredients in anything else I find. Sadly though eos is WAY too expensive (costs ~4 times my current lotion) and Honest isn't available in Turkey :(

Just an FYI: I think you're cutting out too much information from your URLs, that's why they're not functional.

Sorry to hear that. The Nivea should be fine then :)

Edit: Thanks for the info about the URLs, they’re fixed!
