Sensitive skin is no myth. There are people with sensitive skin who are
easily prone to skin irritation with every shave. For them, the act of shaving
alone is tormenting but it doesn't always have to be so. Try these steps if you
have got sensitive skin.
Prep Your Skin
If this step could be repeated twice, it'd be better. Prepping your
skin entails getting it wet and soft. Dry hair is hard and will tug on your
sensitive skin if not softened. Either rinse hair area with warm water or just
go take a shower. Allow skin stay wet for about 2 minutes before attempting to
shave.
Use Shaving Cream
Prepping with water is just the first step to softening your hair.
Shaving creams not only soften the hair, it moisturizes it by providing
necessary proteins. Just like in the case of water, allow the shaving creams to
sit for about 2 minutes before attempting to shave.
Exfoliate often
Dead skin can trap ingrown hairs and cause razor burns. Exfoliating
helps remove these dead skin cells. Ensure you exfoliate once or twice in a
week.
Allow hair to grow
You have a sensitive skin and cannot afford the luxury and perks of
everyday shaving. Allow your hair grow a little before shaving. When you are not
shaving, ensure you keep your skin and hair moisturized to keep them soft. With
time, your hair will lose its natural dryness that causes razor burns when you
shave.
