After every shave most of us have to contend with stubbly patches, rashes, razor bumps and ingrown hair. Read on to know how your razor can be the perfect hair remover.
The first step you need to take is to buy the right kind of razor. Buying multiple packs of inexpensive razors is good for shaving hygiene if you are planning to use a fresh one each time. For women, a razor that comes with a variety of blades and lubricating strips usually works best. If you are planning to buy an electric razor, consult consumer guides to find the best one. The next step is to prepare your skin for the process of shaving. Wet your skin with a soapy moist towel so that your hair becomes soft and pliable enough to be removed from the roots. Working up lather with a good shaving soap or cream is as essential for effective hair removal as using the right kind of razor. Your skin needs to be adequately lubricated to avoid any friction with the razor.
Shaving in the direction of the hair growth ensures that your hair is removed from its roots. If you don’t do this you are likely to get ingrown hair which will then need to be treated with ingrown hair treatment lotions and sprays. Be gentle with your skin while shaving. A rough shave can cause unsightly nicks and cuts which will be visible on your skin for weeks. Shaved skin needs to be treated with the appropriate after care products. Rinse your face and body with cold water in order to prevent razor burn. Men can use an astringent on their face, while women need to use moisturizers on their face and bodies. Deodorant can irritate shaved skin so avoid using it.
Shaving is not a permanent hair removal technique, but following the above tips can give you a smoother, closer and long-lasting shave. You can even use a hair inhibitor to slow down your hair growth after shaving and minimize the time between two shaves.
