Your First Shave

Your first shave

Different hair removal methods are available, so it's important to do some research beforehand to find the right method for you. If you choose shaving, great choice! To achieve a beautiful, healthy glow with shaving, there are a few essentials you must use.

Here are the steps to follow for an effective shave:

  1. Wet your skin with warm water: Warmer water relaxes your skin and reduces the amount of goosebumps, allowing the razor to glide smoothly. Try shaving in the bath or shower.

  2. Apply shaving gel: To protect your delicate skin from cuts and nicks, use a shaving gel to create a barrier between your skin and the razor.

  3. Start shaving: With the razor and shaving gel ready, start shaving by keeping the razor in an upward motion from bottom to top against the hairs. Use long strokes for consistent results. You might want to try shaving WITH the direction of hairs when first starting off to see how your skin reacts.

  4. Moisturize: After shaving, keep your skin smooth and healthy by using a good moisturizer to hydrate your skin and lock in moisture. Consider using a 2-in-1 product that moisturizes while you shave.

Don't be scared if you are itchy or have bumps after your first few shaves. Clothing can rub on the shaved area and increase the problem. This is normal as your skin is sensitive and will adjust. To reduce red bumps, use a shave gel with an antiseptic like tea tree oil or apply a small amount of an antiseptic like Polysporin after your shave.

To make shaving an effective beauty care routine, use a product that moisturizes your skin during and after shaving. This can save you money on buying a separate moisturizer and also nourish your skin. Try REMAY Shave Gel Bars, a 2-in-1 coconut and tea-tree oil shave gel bar that provides a protective barrier while you shave and locks in moisture for a smooth, hydrated finish. They also make shaving in or out of the shower much easier than traditional shave gel foams.
