Face shaving for women is a simple, quick, affordable, and painless approach to remove unwanted facial hair. Here are some tips on how to shave your face as a woman:
Dos:
- Wash your face before you shave to remove any dirt or makeup before you shave to prevent skin irritation and infection if you get scratched by your razor blade.
- Hold a hot damp washcloth close to your face for about 2-3 minutes before you shave. This will help to hydrate the skin and soften the hair.
- Always hydrate your face before shaving. This will reduce friction and prevent skin irritation.
- Use a straight edge, single-blade razor designed specifically for women’s facial shaving. These products are sometimes referred to as eyebrow shaving razors or dermaplaning tools.
- Always shave your face in the same direction of hair growth to keep the irritation at a minimum.
- Stretch your skin tightly upwards in one hand, and in the other hand start shaving with a small stroke.
- While shaving, hold your razor at 45 degrees and gently shave in the direction of hair growth.
- Rinse the razor after each stroke.
- After shaving, rinse your face and moisturize immediately.
- Use a moisturizer or lotion to rehydrate your skin after shaving.
Donts:
- Never use the same razor on your face that you use to shave your legs or underarms. If you use the same razor, your skin might get a prone infection.
- If you have sensitive skin or any serious skin condition, do not go for shaving.
- If you have active acne, sensitive or damaged skin then only shave after consulting your dermatologist.
