Body Shaving Tips: Surprising Tricks No One Ever Told You

Are you on the no waxing team and pro the body shaving regime? We have you covered!

Body shaving is like a rite of passage just like, say, learning to ride a bicycle or swimming. No matter how much you prefer waxing over shaving, a day will come when you would have no time in your hands to go for a waxing session and have to pick up the razor in your hands. Mind you, body shaving may seem like the most convenient way to get rid of your body hair, but it is not an easy task. Here are some helpful tips for you to make your body shaving routine smooth like your skin after!

Say Yes To Shaving Cream Over Soap

Spend that little extra money on a shaving cream instead of reaching out for your soap in the shower during your body shaving time. Using soap does seem convenient while shaving but what most people fail to realise is that shaving cream is far more gentle on your skin than the soap in terms of how the razor performs. Moreover, sensitive areas of your body such as the underarms and the bikini line demands that a shaving cream be used instead of the soap because the skin there is the most prone to catching an infection or being irritated after having been shaved. Proper care during and after body shaving is important and it starts with using a shaving cream.

Wait For A While Before Starting To Shave Your Body After Getting Into The Shower

So many of us are guilty of getting started with the razor on our body as soon as we get into the shower. No matter how boring it seems to wait for a while in the shower before starting to shave, dermatologists suggest that you do so. Letting your skin get wet, your hair get soft and your follicles open before starting to shave is the key to getting the perfect smooth skin after the body shaving routine.

Putting More Pressure Isn’t Going To Get Rid Of The Hair Faster

When operating a razor on your body, be gentle with it. The more pressure you put with the razor, the more the chances are of you getting cut. Putting more pressure on your skin with the razor is not going to give you better or faster results. Take time and be gentle.
