Women shaving their face has been demonized and continues to get a lot of suspicion as there are several myths around facial hair removal via a shaving blade.
Below are the myths
1 Hair grows back faster: no the hair will grow at the speed. It usually does for you based on your metabolic function. It is different for everyone shaving does not make hair grow faster.
2. Hair will grow back thicker: no hair will not grow back. Thicker the thickness of your hair again depends on your metabolic functions and your genetic make up your hair will grow back to the exact same thickness if you used facial hair removal method.
3. Skin will get darker as it does for men on the areas we shave: this is one of the biggest myths; men and women are physiologically genetically different. The response shaving has on the skin of a man is not the same as it would be when a woman shaves also, we use different kind of razors
Below are my tips to get the best shave ever:
1. Do your nighttime skincare routine after you cleanse your face.
2. Always use a base to shave your hair and don't do it on skin, you can use aloe vera gel or use a moisturizer. Oils tends to not work well on most skin types so I don't recommend it as a base for shaving.
3. After you finish, wash your face with plain water.
4. Apply a barrier repair moisturizer and go to sleep.
5. Don't use any actives, vitamin C, niacinamide or even retinol at least for two days after you shave your hair.
Bonus Tip; if your skin feels red, and if you have the time,
use a nice hydrating sheet mask after you shave your face before you apply or moisturizer. #skincare #skincareroutine #skincaretips #faceshaving #shavingtips #faceshaving #pharmacy #pharmacist
