Looking to remove some unwanted body hair? We’ve put together a guide on how to get the best results through shaving so you can get silky smooth skin in the comfort of your own home.
Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate. The secret to a smooth finish after hair removal is to remove all dead skin, dirt, and impurities around 24 hours before you want to de-fuzz. This also helps to prevent ingrown hairs and irritation by freeing the edges of any hairs trapped under the skin.
Next, you’ll want to apply a shaving cream or gel to wet skin. Shaving on dry skin can cause irritation, so try to work it into your bath or shower routine! This step is essential as the shaving gel or cream acts as a lubricant between your skin and the razor, reducing irritation and ingrown hairs. Some razors come with a moisturising bar, but you’ll still need the additional lubricant for a smooth glide!
Now, it’s time to grab your razor. Ensure it’s clean and sharp and stored in a dry environment. A sharper razor will give you a closer shave and is less likely to give you nicks or cuts than a blunt one! Wet your razor and glide it along the skin, following the direction of hair growth. Rinse after each swipe and avoid going over the same area multiple times, which can cause irritation. Keep going until all your desired hair removal is complete, then rinse and pat the skin dry.
After you’ve patted your skin dry, apply a gentle moisturiser to the area. This will help soothe any irritation and rehydrate the skin, giving you a healthy glow. Now it’s time to pop your razor in a clean, dry area and enjoy your satin-soft skin!
