Do’s and don’ts of shaving

Hair grooming is an essential part of skincare as well as one’s fashion. However, there are certain things one needs to be aware of while grooming their body hair; for instance, the do’s and don’ts of shaving.

Beauty and skincare specialists do not usually recommend shaving your hair or any body part as it only makes the hair grow thicker and faster. Specialists suggest waxing as an alternative to shaving because of the following cons of shaving:

• It leaves ingrown hair in the skin which can be a major issue if left unchecked.
• It changes the growth direction of hair follicles.
• There is always a chance of cutting yourself and bleeding along with itches and rashes after shaving.

One of the many beliefs of shaving is that it makes your hair grow thicker and faster, which the specialists have concurred with as well. For men, we often see them trying to shave their facial hair just so they can get a thicker, faster growing beard or a mustache. However, the majority of women tend to find the notion of thicker body hair unappealing and hence they should avoid shaving at all costs and stick to waxing. Waxing is also one of the best economically feasible substitutes for shaving.

Following are the prepping steps in order one can take if they do opt to shave:

• Moisturize your skin and keep it well-hydrated.
• Exfoliate your skin before shaving if it is required.
• Make sure you use abundant shaving gel to avoid irritation.
• Choosing the right razor is of utmost importance.
• Learn how to shave in the proper manner.

Here are some of the things one can do after shaving to take care of their skin:

• Apply non-alcoholic aftershave to avoid dehydration.
• Apply moisturizer or cream to hydrate your skin after shaving.
• Give your skin some rest if it stays dry and shaving it makes it worse.
