Improper shaving can cause skin irritation, allergies, and razor bumps on the skin, leaving a tear. To avoid these dangers, first you need to buy a good blade and use shaving cream. You will see significant improvements.

Here are the steps to shave

first

Wet your face

Let the hot water soak your face for a while, don't wipe it off with a towel. This softens the hairs until you use shaving cream to maintain that softness.

2

Use a lot of shaving cream

Shaving cream reduces friction between the blade and your skin. Modern, high-quality gels also protect the skin and promote gentle shaving. Apply a thick layer of cream and gently massage into the skin. Using too little cream can cause skin irritation as the blade glides through.

3

Shave

Start from the sides of your face and pull the blade down towards the sideburns. This area responds quickly to shaving cream because they are a fairly flat surface. Move the razor blade above the lips. You should treat difficult areas like the chin and around the ears last to give the gel more time to work. For these areas, you should pull gently and evenly.

4

Clean skin

Rinse face with cold water. Cold water will help soothe your new shaves and reduce bleeding from the shave by constricting the blood vessels.

5

Use cosmetics after shaving

Apply a little aftershave product - After Shave on the newly shaved skin. Some aftershave products contain alcohol, which, while good at disinfecting, can cause redness and burning pain. If you have this problem, instead of using them, choose gentle gels that have a moisturizing effect. You should also not use perfume directly on your shaved face.
