This Iconic Y2K Brand Has Finally Forayed Into Skin Care — & It's The Perfect Gift For The Holidays
Shaving just go so much more fun.
Those who grew up in the early 2000s remember that there was no fashion brand more coveted than Juicy Couture. The female-founded brand made casual wear cool, as its signature velour tracksuits dominated pop culture – worn by celebrities like Britney Spears and Paris Hilton while out running errands, and even popping up on hit shows like The O.C. The recent Y2K resurgence has had many of us resurrecting our tracksuits (or investing in a new one), but it’s not the only way to bring Juicy Couture back. Personal care brand Athena Club has teamed up with Juicy Couture on a collection of essentials that make shaving a lot more glamorous. Packaged in pink and complete with a floral fragrance, the Juicy Couture x Athena Club collaboration includes a sugar scrub to prep your skin, a moisturizing cream and razor for shaving, and a pink velour carrying case with Juicy Couture’s trademark “J” zipper pull (and plenty of rhinestone embellishments).
Ahead, we’re breaking down everything you need to know about the Y2K-inspired products, which are available to purchase individually or together in a set.
Juicy Couture x Athena Club Perfect Shave Set
Included in the set is a razor kit, sugar scrub, shave butter, and pink velour pouch. To find out more about each individual product, keep reading.
Juicy Couture x Athena Club Gentle Sugar Scrub
The Gentle Sugar Scrub was formulated to buff away dead skin cells prior to shaving to help minimize the risk of experiencing razor bumps, ingrown hairs, and irritation post-shaving. Sugar serves as a nonirritating physical exfoliant, while nourishing ingredients like argan oil and hyaluronic acid keep the skin moisturized. The scrub also includes niacinamide, a skin care multi-tasker that helps with everything from soothing and moisturizing to brightening the skin with continued use. Housed in a bright pink bottle, the scrub is also infused with Athena Club’s Sweet Escape scent – a blend of sweet and floral notes like vanilla musk and jasmine petals.
Juicy Couture x Athena Club Fluffy Shave Butter
Another crucial component in your shaving routine is a moisturizing cream to help protect your skin while you shave. Athena Club’s Fluffy Shave Butter was created to condition and soothe the skin by reducing the likelihood of experiencing any post-shave irritation. In addition to rich moisturizers like shea and cocoa seed butters, the shaving cream includes oat kernel extract, vitamin E, chamomile flower extract, rice bran extract, and allantoin, which all help to soothe and soften skin.
Juicy Couture x Athena Club The Razor Kit
Of course, the razor you shave with is just as important when it comes to getting the smoothest shave possible, and Athena Club’s razor is a beauty award-winner with thousands of five-star reviews. The Juicy Couture razor comes in a limited-edition hot-pink color, but it uses the same ergonomic design and five-blade cartridge as the brand’s classic color offerings. Whether you purchase the Razor Kit on its own or as part of the Perfect Shave Set, you’ll receive a replacement cartridge (two blade cartridges total), an aluminum handle attachment that’s coated with non-slip silicone, and a tiny magnetic hook to store your razor in the shower.
Juicy Couture x Athena Club Pink Velour Pouch
Now, on to the carrying case, which is probably the most exciting part of the collaboration — at least for anyone whose Juicy Couture bag was their most prized possession back in the day. In homage to the brand’s favorite material, the Juicy Couture x Athena Club case is a pink velour pouch that can be repurposed as a makeup bag. It’s decorated with a crystal logo on both sides, and the zippered bag is also decorated with a gold Juicy heart charm and a “J” zipper pull to mimic the brand’s iconic tracksuits.
