Proper shaving is an important part of grooming, but many people make mistakes that can lead to irritation, redness, and ingrown hairs. Dermatologists have developed a step-by-step guide to avoid these problems.
URA-Inform reports this, citing AAD .
The first step is to prepare your skin. It is best to take a warm shower or bath before shaving to remove oil and dead skin cells, which will help prevent clogging of the blade. Then, apply a shaving cream or gel to soften the hairs and make the process easier.
It is important to shave in the direction of hair growth to avoid ingrown hairs and irritation. Rinse the razor after each stroke to prevent it from clogging and causing cuts.
The blade should be changed after 5-7 uses, and disposable razors should only be used once. Dull blades can damage the skin and lead to inflammation.
Another mistake is to pull the skin too tightly. This increases the risk of ingrown hairs, especially for people with curly hair. So avoid applying too much pressure.
After using the razor, it is important not to leave it in places with high humidity to avoid the growth of germs and infections.
By following these recommendations, you can avoid unpleasant consequences and achieve a perfect shave.
