Chemicals, sugaring and laser – all these procedures are not cheap, some are painful and can be dangerous for the skin.

But women still prefer them to razors, and in vain.

To prolong the effect after shaving, you need to use simple tips.

It is better to shave your legs in the morning. The skin is firm and elastic in the morning, so it is better to shave in the morning.

Natural oils. They nourish and soften the hairs on the skin, and the process becomes safer and easier. It is recommended to apply the oil to the skin before going to bed to facilitate removal in the morning.

Skin preparation. Before shaving, it is advisable to steam the skin with warm water or take a shower. The hairs will soften and the skin will become elastic.

Exfoliation of the skin. A few days before the procedure, it is worth using a scrub to get rid of keratinized areas of the skin and protect against ingrown hairs.

Warming up the razor. Your shave will be cleaner and glide easier if you soak the razor in warm water for a couple of minutes before you begin shaving.

Shaving foam or gel. Using special shaving products is not a marketing ploy, they directly coat and soothe the skin, making the process easy and safe.

Shave your hair in the direction of its growth. To avoid ingrown hairs and skin damage, shave only in the direction of hair growth.

Changing blades. A dull razor does not fit the skin as tightly, and therefore the removal is of poor quality, and you have to shave more often. You need to change the blade at least once a month.

Don't overdo it. Many people think that if you shave one area many times, the hair won't grow back for a long time, but this is a misconception.

This way, the top layer of skin is injured and the likelihood of ingrown hairs increases.

Skin care after shaving. In any case, the skin after shaving is irritated, so it is treated with a special cream or gel.

The main thing is not to use products containing alcohol, otherwise redness and itching cannot be avoided.
