I don’t know about you, but I was never really taught how to properly shave. That was something my dad taught my brother. My Mom never really told me any of the tips and tricks to shaving so my legs would not get all itchy and red with irritation. I used to hate shaving! Well, I kind of still do, but now that I know how to do it correctly after all of these years, I like the results that I get with my smooth legs and under arms.
We all want soft touchable skin but keeping our legs, underarms and bikini line smooth and soft can be a difficult task when we have to shave frequently. Irritating red bumps are painful not to mention unsightly too.
Here are 5 shaving tips to help you get a soft smooth shave every time.
1. Never use a dull razor as they will cut up your skin and leave behind skin irritation and razor burn. Change your razor blades frequently or sharpen them often.
2. Always do a wet shave with water and shaving cream, shaving oil or a good lathering shaving soap. To save money, you can even use your hair conditioner to protect your legs from irritation.
3. When it comes to shaving you want to shave in the direction of your hair growth. Never do a crisscross pattern. You want to shave go up and down or side to side, if necessary.
4. Never shave when you are in a hurry. When you shave too fast, you often mess up the proper direction of your shave and can cause nicks, cuts and burns.
5. Never shave irritated skin! You want any skin irritation to clear up before you run a razor blade across it.
Following these simple tips can really make a difference to your legs and skin! Now you can eEnjoy soft touchable skin after shaving!
