Summer has arrived in Canada, which means patios are full, beaches are calling, and suddenly everyone remembers they own shorts.
It also means many of us dust off our grooming routine after spending the winter comfortably hidden under sweatpants.
If you’ve ever attempted to trim your bikini line with a regular razor, you already know the risks.
One wrong angle…
One tiny slip…
Suddenly your relaxing shower has become a first-aid situation.
Whether you’re team “completely smooth,” “just a little tidy,” or “my body hair, my choice,” one thing is universal: nobody enjoys razor burn, accidental nicks, or those annoying ingrown hairs that seem to appear at the worst possible time.
That’s where Bushbalm, one of Ottawa’s favourite skincare brands, comes in.
While Bushbalm first made a name for itself with products designed to soothe ingrown hairs and irritated skin, the company has expanded into something just as important—the tools that make grooming easier in the first place.
The Francesca Bikini + Body Hair Trimmer
Bushbalm’s The Francesca Bikini + Body Hair Trimmer was designed specifically for grooming sensitive areas, helping you trim comfortably without reaching for a traditional razor. The cordless trimmer features a waterproof design, multiple guide combs for different hair lengths, and Gentle Grooming Technology that’s designed to glide over the skin with fewer nicks and less irritation than a close shave.
Even better?
It isn’t just for your bikini line.
The Francesca is made for legs, underarms, body hair, and anywhere else you’d like a quick tidy-up before heading to the pool, the cottage, or a weekend getaway.
The Frankie Touch-Up Trimmer
Now let’s talk about Francesca’s little sister.
The Frankie Touch-Up Trimmer may be compact, but don’t underestimate it.
Frankie is designed for life’s little grooming emergencies.
That random chin hair that appears overnight?
Frankie.
Peach fuzz before applying makeup?
Frankie.
Missed spot before leaving for dinner?
Definitely Frankie.
The circular touch-up head is designed to gently remove fine facial hair and tidy small areas quickly, making it an easy addition to your skincare or makeup routine. It’s rechargeable, compact enough to toss into your travel bag, and ideal for quick touch-ups between appointments.
Honestly, it’s one of those tools you don’t realize you needed until you own one.
Better Together: The Trimmer Duo
If choosing between the two feels impossible, Bushbalm already solved that problem.
The Trimmer Duo pairs the Francesca Bikini + Body Hair Trimmer with the Frankie Touch-Up Trimmer, giving you one grooming solution for full-body maintenance and another for quick facial touch-ups.
It’s a practical combination because each trimmer serves a different purpose.
Francesca tackles larger jobs like bikini lines, legs, and underarms.
Frankie handles the finishing touches.
Together, they’re basically the dynamic duo of body grooming.
Batman and Robin.
Peanut butter and jelly.
Coffee and Monday mornings.
You get the idea.
Want the Complete Routine? Meet The Total Smooth Set
Of course, trimming is only half the battle.
Keeping skin comfortable afterward is just as important.
That’s why Bushbalm created The Total Smooth Set, which bundles together:
- The Francesca Bikini + Body Hair Trimmer
- The Frankie Touch-Up Trimmer
- Nude Ingrown Hair Oil
It’s essentially a complete grooming routine in one package. After trimming, the Nude Ingrown Hair Oil is applied to freshly cleansed skin to help hydrate the area while targeting the appearance of razor bumps and ingrown hairs over time. Bushbalm recommends daily use on areas like the bikini line, underarms, legs, or anywhere prone to irritation.
If you’ve ever finished grooming only to think, “Now what?”, this bundle answers that question.
Why Everyone Talks About Ingrown Hairs
Let’s be honest.
Ingrown hairs are the uninvited guests of every grooming routine.
They show up late.
They overstay their welcome.
And nobody wants them there.
Ingrown hairs happen when trimmed or shaved hairs curl back into the skin instead of growing outward. Combined with friction from clothing or a buildup of dead skin cells, those hairs can become trapped beneath the surface.
While no product can guarantee you’ll never experience an ingrown hair again, a routine that includes gentle grooming and consistent post-trim skincare can help keep skin looking and feeling its best.
That’s why Bushbalm pairs its grooming tools with products like the Nude Ingrown Hair Oil instead of treating trimming and skincare as two separate routines.
Designed for Real Life
One thing that’s refreshing about Bushbalm is that the products aren’t designed around unrealistic beauty standards.
They aren’t telling you to remove all your body hair.
They’re simply giving you better tools if you choose to groom.
Want to trim instead of shave?
Perfect.
Prefer to leave a little length?
Francesca includes adjustable guards to help you find the look that’s right for you.
Need a quick facial touch-up before a wedding or job interview?
That’s exactly where Frankie shines.
It’s grooming on your terms—not someone else’s.
Proudly Canadian, Proudly Bushbalm
As a Canadian company with roots in Ottawa, Bushbalm has built a loyal following by focusing on something many skincare brands ignored for years: the skin we shave, wax, and trim.
Instead of treating post-grooming irritation as something you simply have to live with, they’ve created products that support your routine from start to finish.
Whether you’re looking for one dependable trimmer, a handy touch-up tool, or the complete Total Smooth Set with the Nude Ingrown Hair Oil included, Bushbalm makes it easy to build a routine that fits your lifestyle.
Because summer is busy enough.
Your grooming routine shouldn’t be the stressful part.
So here’s to smoother skin, fewer ingrown hairs, and spending more time enjoying Ottawa’s patios instead of searching for tweezers.
That’s a summer win in anyone’s books.
