Exfoliation and moisturization are essential for maintaining healthy skin after or between hair removal sessions. Here's a brief explanation:ย
Keeps skin hydrated and reduces irritation. Best to apply right after a warm shower when skin is still soft and moist to keep the moisture in. Gently tap dry with towel to remove access water so to not dilute the moisturizer.
Weekly exfoliation helps prevent ingrown hairs and maintains smooth skin. Exfoliation cannot be done too frequently as it can lead to dry skin. While exfoliating, apply a gentle pressure and rub in circular motion.
Can prevent with exfoliation and shaving along the grain. It can happen more easily at area with thicker hair, more hair, curly hair, tighter clothing like the thigh area than the arm.
Use a soothing product (like aloe vera) and ensure proper lubrication during shaving.
Aloe vera gel is some of the best helpers for this case.ย
