While shaving your facial hair does not hurt, you need to make sure that you get the right razor and also hold it correctly.

Does the hair grow back thicker and darker after shaving?

The facial hair will not grow back thicker or darker. It will go back the same way like it does in other parts of your body like your legs.

How often is it okay to shave your facial hair?

You can make shaving a part of your beauty regimen once or twice a week, not more than that. Also, read this before you try any facial hair removal technique.

What tools will you need to shave your facial hair?

You will need a single blade razor. It is best that you use a razor that has a slope on the head of the razor. You run the risk of cutting your skin if there is no curve on the head of the razor.

Is it okay to use the same razor on your face as your legs?

Put down the razor you use on your legs. The shaving razors for facial hair are designed specially to trim the hair on your face.

Should you use a lotion or a cream to shave?

You do not need to wet your skin or use a lotion to shave your facial hair. You need to do it on dry skin.

What is the correct technique to shave facial hair?

Use short strokes to shave your hair downwards instead of just dragging the razor on your skin. You also need to hold the razor at 45-degree angle against the skin. Also, make sure that you moisturise your face after shaving so that your skin does not get dry. Here’s what frequent hair removal does to your body.
