If there's one thing humanity has yet to conquer, it's how to get the perfect shave. Yes, we've all invested in tons of different hair removal products - razors, wax kits, hair removal creams, heck, even a hair removal stone. And yet... have we ever gotten that perfect, razor bump-free finish? Is it just a far-off fantasy dream we made up many moons ago? According to Millie Court... shaving might be easier than we think.
That slightly dramatic introduction means to say that Love Island 2021 winner, Millie Court, may be our skincare-secret-saviour. Previously, she let us in on one product the girls used every day in the villa to achieve luscious lips. Now, well the goddess again has blessed us, mere mortals, with how to tackle shaving.
Our friends over at Grazia recently interviewed Millie as part of their 10 Hot Questions series on TikTok, and she revealed all.
Answering, "which hair removal method do you go for during your time on Love Island, and would you recommend?", Millie says "Do you know what? I have a little trick that I use when I shave to get a very nice, clean bikini line - no shaving rash."

Cue us running to Amazon ASAP (especially during Black Friday...) to grab the good stuff. We've got a pick of the best aloe vera gels to buy on there to revolutionise your shaving game.

Answering another Hot Question, "What beauty products are you allowed to bring into the villa when you arrive, and what did you bring?", Millie let us on to her favourite make-up products she brought.
Millie continues, "So, I took my whole make-up bag- obviously! And my favourite products that I bought with me were the Two Faced Born This Way Foundation, NARS Creamy Concealer, with NARS blush, MAC bronzer and then my lip. My staple lip was the MAC lip liner in Spice, Fenty Gloss Bomb and finished it off with Urban Decay All Nighter."
The queen has spoken. If the girls looked that gorgeous on camera in the Spanish heat, we need these beauty products in our possession, stat.
