MEN’S SHAVING 101: SENSITIVE SKIN
We get it. You’ve had the same shaving routine since the moment you turned fifteen, and whilst it may get a tad itchy sometimes, it does the job, right? Well, we think not. From skin-soothing aftercare to those all-important preparation steps, we’re introducing you to the Men’s shaving sensitive skin hacks you didn’t know you needed – until now.
INGROWN HAIRS
They’re painful. They’re itchy. And they’re the reason men everywhere have started to down their razors in favor of the caveman-chic look. But doesn’t have to be that way. It may be satisfying to evict a rogue hair from its new home under the skin – bringing in a crowd that rivals the Superbowl – but our trio of tricks are saying ‘no’ to those pesky complexion-ruiners.
-
Prize open your pores by wetting your skin with warm water.
-
Don’t settle. A sharp, fresh razor is key to a close, irritation-free shave.
-
Follow the grain by shaving in the direction that your hair grows. Seriously – try it.
RAZOR IRRITATION
It doesn’t just sting to touch. Glowing a scarlet color, sprouting into puss-filled lumps, and creating an itch that’s impossible to soothe, shaving irritation is often thought of as the ultimate punishment for having sensitive skin. Thankfully, armed with a high-quality razor and our three must-try shaving hacks, it’s completely preventable.
-
Invest in a good shaving cream. Think of it as a protective barrier, nourishing the skin in the process.
-
Follow your shave with the application of a cool washcloth. If you take care of your skin, it’ll take care of you.
-
Choose your aftershave wisely. In our view, natural skincare is key, calming redness and soothing irritation.
SHAVING CUTS
It happens. And it always seems to be when we have somewhere important to be. But nicks, cuts, and slits aren’t just an inevitable part of your morning routine. With generous preparation time, a dash of high-quality shaving cream, and a tried-and-tested rinsing technique, unlock the door to a seamless shave, every time.
-
Soften the skin. From taking a warm shower to removing oils and debris with an exfoliator, good great shaves start here.
-
Lather up! Treat yourself to a soothing men’s shaving cream, allowing your razor to glide across the face.
-
Don’t get ‘lax with the rinsing of your razor. By continually removing build-up from the blade, you’re removing any skin-catching obstacles.
