fall shave guide

Cooler temps and dry air call for a new approach to smooth skin. Your summer shave routine might not cut it anymore. As the air gets crisper, your skin loses moisture faster, meaning it’s time for a fall shaving routine that hydrates, protects, and pampers.

This fall shave guide walks you through each step, from pre-shave prep to post-shave nourishment, for a smooth, irritation-free finish that lasts all autumn long.

step 1: start with clean skin 

Why shaving changes in fall: The shift to colder, drier air means your skin retains less moisture, making it more prone to sensitivity and irritation. That’s why shave prep for fall starts with hydration.

Fall weather means drier air and less natural moisture in your skin, so your shave routine should start with a cleanser that hydrates instead of strips. A moisturizing body wash preps skin for shaving while keeping it soft and nourished long after you step out of the shower.

Try: Cashmere Body Wash – a rich, creamy gel cleanser designed to protect and nourish skin during colder months.

• Glycerin locks in hydration for instantly soft skin
• Shea butter + shea oil strengthen the skin barrier and soothe dryness
• Cocoa butter instantly wraps skin in comfort and helps improve texture
• Vitamin E protects against environmental stressors like dry fall air

Think of it as the perfect shave prep for fall, leaving you as fresh as that first cool morning breeze.

step 2: exfoliate for a smooth base

As the weather cools and the air dries, dead skin cells build up faster, which can block your razor and lead to irritation. Exfoliating in the fall is key for a smooth, glowing base. It keeps your shave close, comfortable, and free from ingrown hairs.

Try: Cashmere Skin Pre-Shave Scrub – a sugar-based exfoliator packed with cozy, nourishing butters.

• Cashmere Smooth Complex™ (shea, cocoa, and argan) deeply cushions and nourishes skin to prep for a smooth shave
• Sugar smooths away dead skin and buildup for a smoother glow
• Coconut shells provide a physical polish to help unclog pores 

Regular exfoliation is one of the best autumn body shave tips because it keeps dryness from building up, leaving your skin smooth and perfectly prepped for shaving.

step 3: choose your shave sidekick

Autumn is not the season for harsh foams or drying gels. Your skin craves extra moisture, so choose a hydrating shave oil for fall skin or a creamy formula that cushions and protects against crisp fall air.

For quick, everyday smoothness, try: 24H Moisture Shave Cream

step 4: lock in the smoothness

After shaving, your skin needs hydration just as much as your wardrobe needs layers in the fall. Sealing in moisture protects your skin barrier, prevents dryness, and keeps your post-shave glow looking its best. Whether you prefer a lotion, butter, or oil, layering on the right formula makes all the difference for silky, comfortable skin.

For lightweight, all-day hydration, try: 24H Moisture Body Lotion

• Nourishing blend of shea, sunflower seed, safflower seed, and grape seed oil strengthens and hydrates
• Provides 24 hours of moisture with a luminous finish
• Leaves skin glowing and radiant, the perfect post-shave step for fall

Choosing the right post-shave moisturizer comes down to how your skin feels that day. If you’re feeling extra dry or tight, reach for a butter or oil. On days when your skin just needs light hydration, a fast-absorbing lotion is the perfect pick.
