Shaving can be a tedious task, but that is the main reason why you have to pay close attention. If you do it carelessly and quickly you can irritate your skin.

When it comes to shaving, there is no foolproof guide, everyone has their own techniques and skills. However, here at BeautyTheShop we would like to share some tips to avoid making mistakes and help you create the simplest routine. Pay attention please!

First step: let your skin wake up. You usually wake up with inflammation, so let it rest a little before starting.

Step two: clean and prepare your skin. It’s essential! Use soap and cold water to get rid of impurities and prevent cutting yourself. Use shaving foam or gel to make it easier.

Step three: the time has come! Don’t push the razor against your skin, you will irritate it.

Make short, careful movements in the direction that the hair grows. If needed, use your fingers to tighten your skin. Then, rinse and refresh your skin to close pores.

Final step:  Moisturise your skin with a high quality aftershave. This will sooth your skin and help you regenerate the skin barrier. This step is key, specially for sensitive skin.

Take into account that you should not shave every day as your skin needs some rest. But, if there’s no choice but to do it, prepare your skin at weekends and start your own moisturising ritual.

Nowadays, long beards and hipster beards are on trend, but that’s no excuse to forget about your shaving routine. Use this tips and use the best products. And remember, taking care of your skin is fundamental!
