How to shave your face properly?
- Hydrate your skin to reduce the chances of cuts and irritation during shaving.
- It is better to shave while showering or just after a shower. Hydration will make your beard softer and help you have a smoother shave.
- Exfoliate your skin to remove dead skin cells. If your skin is clean, you will have a better shaving experience.
- Use a shaving gel or foam before shaving. Apply it on your face with a brush to soften your beard. Then take small strokes with the razor.
- Check the razor before shaving. Do not use an old and dull blade as it can cause many skin problems.
- Rinse your razor with warm water after shaving, as a dirty razor can cause irritation and discomfort.
- Do not overuse your shaving cream or gel product. Just take a sufficient amount of the shaving cream.
- Apply aftershave when you finish shaving.
How to take care of your skin after shaving?
- Sun protection:
After shaving, your skin needs protection from the sun. While skin becomes sensitive when exposed to sunlight for a long period, shaving can make skin even more sensitive and also damage it. Thus, applying sunscreen is a must.
- Moisturizing:
Shaving makes your skin dry. Moisturize your face immediately after shaving. Try to opt for a deep moisturizing cream or lotion.
- Take a break:
If your facial skin gets irritated or itchy every time you shave, you must take a break from shaving. While women can opt for other methods of hair removal such as waxing, men can use a trimmer.
