FEW TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND WHILE SHAVING IF YOU HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN

 

Want those smooth, flawless legs but are worried about shaving because of your sensitive skin? Fed-up of all the cuts and the rough abrasions the whole procedure brings to your body but can’t figure out the reason behind what you are doing wrong? Then read this article and find out the necessary tips to have a safe and smooth shaving experience:

• Exfoliate Before Shaving:

Exfoliating is a huge part of skincare which leads to the removal of dead skin cells and damaged skin from the body. It opens pores and makes the breathing process of the skin much easier. If you have sensitive skin then exfoliating is a necessary step before shaving. It will lead to the loosening of pores and thus the removal of hair while shaving will become easier and more comfortable.

• Direction For Shaving:

Always remember to use one direction for shaving if you have sensitive skin. Shave in the direction of the growth of the hair since going against it can cause irritation in any part of your body. Moving in the same direction helps in reducing irritation on the skin and saves you a lot of pain as well.

• Choose Your Razor Smartly:

If you have sensitive skin, then most products won’t suit you. Purchase the razor with replaceable blades that are most suitable for sensitive skin. Such razors contain built-in moisture gel bars which remove unwanted hair without scratching your skin harshly. Select razors that have pivoting heads that allow much comfortable and easier access to the different parts of your body like the ankle, without cutting them in the process.

• Change Your Razor Blades Often:

To keep the health of your skin maintained with all the smoothness locked within the fibers of your skin, never overuse a razor. You should always use a sharp and fresh razor in order to avoid the repetition of shaving a certain area more than once. A razor should not be used for more than 4-5 shaves. After that time, the blades get a bit blunt and may cause irritations or cuts on your skin. It will also leave many unwanted tendrils of hair on your skin. 

• Use Warm Water Before Shaving:

Prepare your skin before every shaving session. Hydrate your skin with warm water as it raises the hair and makes it soft leading to smooth and more refined shaving. Avoid shaving on dry skin as it will make your skin chaffe and rough. You can also lather your skin with shaving cream or soap for much easier access to your body hair.

• Moisture Your Skin, Always:

A sweet dose of aftercare always works magic on your skin. The same is true after shaving. Always moisturise the skin that you have shaved in order to retain its moisture and maintain it’s smoothness. Pat your skin dry, removing the water from your body gently. Then apply a healthy dose of moisturiser that suits you best on the shaved areas and massage smoothly for soft skin.

Follow these tips meticulously and you will be ready with your super-smooth skin within minutes without any side effects.
