shavingShaving seems to be the easiest option for those who don’t want to go through the painful waxing procedure to get rid of unwanted hair.

1. Take a shower before you shave to remove natural oils, perspiration and hydrate hair, which makes it up to 60% easier to cut. Two to three minutes is optimum soaking time. Also Read - Here is how to get rid of facial hair

2. Apply a good amount of moisture-rich shave gel before shaving to help keep water in the hair and to ensure the razor glides easily over skin. Don’t rely on soap to prepare skin; it may clog the razor during shaving. In addition, many soaps cause dryness and flaking.

3. Choose your razor wisely. It is important to choose a razor that is properly equipped for the job.

4. Shave with a fresh blade. Fresh blades provide a closer, smoother, more comfortable shave and can help prevent cuts and irritation. The blades should be replaced at the first sign of dullness or discomfort. On an average, women replace blades after about 10 shaves.

5. Use a light touch, exerting as little pressure as possible, and shave in the direction that feels most comfortable. Re-lather before shaving the bikini and other sensitive areas.

6. Leave hard-to-shave spots for last. The backs of knees and thighs, and areas like ankles, where the bone is close to the skin surface, are often difficult to shave.

7. Rinse skin thoroughly after shaving, and then pat skin dry. Don’t rub skin harshly and don’t dry off completely. The extra water on your body will be sealed in as you apply moisturiser, helping to eliminate dry, flaky skin, especially on freshly shaved legs so that you can achieve a healthy glow.

Shaving is a painless and easy method to get rid of unwanted hair but you need to shave often as the hair growth is quicker which isn’t the case with waxing.
