Top 10 Shaving Tips

Shaving became popular during World War II when nylon stockings were scarce and bare feet was a trend that has not stopped.

Today women are increasingly turning to waxing and some try laser hair removal (see how my experience), however, shaving remains the cheapest form of hair removal. Here are 10 tips and tricks to shave make sure you do it properly and reduce cuts and irritation so common to moisturize your skin.

1. Trick to shaving is to wet skin and let it reduce the heat and humidity. You do not want to moisturize dry skin. Shaving is a natural exfoliator and you plug your razor with dead skin while putting yourself at risk for nicks.

2. There is no need to spend money on shaving cream set specifically for women. They are almost the same as cream sold for men. (Now, if you can just find a scent you can live with). My hands preferred shaving cream works for her and for him. Kiehl's close razor shave like nothing else I found. Buy online.

3. You're going to experiment with razors until you find the perfect for you. Ask friends for recommendations and found a razor blade lubricated, tilting head and a spring-mouonted multiple blades. I sampled a few species and varieties, and was surprised to see how everyone feels different. My favorite? Gillette Venus. Another great bet and news: Schick Quattro for Women, which has four ultra-thin blades and pivoting head.

4. Remember to change razors or cartridges on a regular basis, a dull blade can cause nicks. In addition, it is best to borrow a razor guy. Her hair is coarse and bad form. (Also, people are not usually hate it when women borrow razors?)

5. Make sure you exfoliate your skin before shaving. It will get rid of any dead skin cells that could block your razor, preventing a close shave.

6. Because your leg hair grow down, you will want to start your ankle and shave you. For underarms, you need to shave in all directions where the hair that grows in all directions.

7. When finished, apply oil or moisturizer. The skin of the feet has few oil glands and tends to drought.

8. Ingrown hair causes the hair to turn under the skin. Avoid ingrown hair daily and use exfoliating glycolic acid cream body.

9. If you have a chronic case of ingrown hairs, try Skin Rather, lotion-timer for ingrown hair, apply it morning and night. The bumps should disappear within days.

10. Can choose to remove hair, at least on your legs. You'll find that if your hair is coarse, it will not grow as fast.
