Learn how to prep, protect, and soothe your skin before, during, and after shaving—for smooth, irritation-free results.
Start with warm water to soften hair and open pores. Gently exfoliate to remove dead skin, then apply a hydrating shave cream to create a smooth surface and help protect against irritation.
It depends on hair growth and personal preference. Legs and underarms might be shaved every few days, while other areas vary. Shave as needed, but always listen to what your skin needs!
Shaving with the grain is gentler and reduces the risk of irritation. For a closer shave, go against the grain on a second pass, but just be sure your skin is well-prepped and moisturized.
You can shave immediately after exfoliating, as long as your skin isn’t irritated. Exfoliating before shaving removes dead skin and helps prevent clogged razors and ingrown hairs.
Use a clean, sharp razor and a moisturizing shave product. Shave in short strokes with light pressure, and always hydrate your skin afterward with lotion or oil to soothe and protect against shaving irritation.
Ingrown hairs happen when hair curls back into the skin. Help minimize them by exfoliating regularly, using a sharp razor, and shaving in the direction of hair growth.
Shaving can strip natural oils and cause micro-irritations, especially without the right prep or post-shave care. A cushiony shave formula helps shield skin by reducing friction and adding glide—less tugging, more comfort. Finish with a hydrating moisturizer to keep help skin feeling smooth, not stripped.
Use a sensitive skin friendly shave cream and a sharp razor. Shave gently, avoid going over the same spot multiple times, and always finish with a calming lotion to help reduce irritation.
