How to avoid razor burn and ingrown hairs?
Shaving alters the hydrolipidic film of the epidermis and abrases its surface.
It favors its drying and can be at the origin of a burning sensation, tingling, redness, irritation, pimples. An unsuitable shaving also supports the appearance of ingrown hairs.
To avoid these inconveniences:
- Shave after showering or moisten your face with warm or hot water to soften the skin.
- Apply a pre-shave oil with light massaging motions, working upward to straighten hair. Do not rinse this oil off.
- Use a shaving cream or foam adapted to your skin type:
- if it is dry and easily irritated, prefer an oil-based "sensitive skin" solution;
- If it is prone to blemishes, use an antiseptic foam instead.
- Avoid multi-blade razors, and change the blade of the razor you use regularly
- Don't start shaving in the direction of hair growth to limit ingrown hairs.
- Choose an alcohol-free aftershave balm to soothe and moisturize the skin. Apply a moisturizing care as a complement.
