SHAVING

Shaving physiology

Daily shaving can cause repeated skin damage permanently sensitizing it. Several types of damage occur when shaving: micro-cuts from the razor blade, the drying effect of hot water, and "stripping" of the cell surface.

During shaving it is essential to use protective textures such as shaving cream and after shaving to rehydrate skin with the appropriate care treatment.


Effective Dermatological Molecules

Before shaving, it is recommended to soften the hair with a gentle soap-free cleanser, using warm water.

When shaving, it is advisable to use dense textures that form a film to protect the skin and insulate it from the razor blade. Thick, nutrient-enriched shaving creams can be enriched with soothing and softening agents such as Vitamin E, or Allantoin.

After shaving, it is essential to apply a moisturizing treatment that helps repair the hydrolipidic film (based on hyaluronic acid, or essential fatty acids), rich in soothing agents such as repairing Vitamin E or Aloe Vera.


Adopt a healthy lifestyle

Here are some simple guidelines to facilitate shaving and preserve the skin's integrity:

• before shaving, clean your skin with a gentle soap-free treatment, to soften the hair.
• if you're prone to ingrown hairs, gently exfoliate one or twice a week to facilitate hair growth to the outside.
• when shaving, use lukewarm water, to prevent irritating with sudden heat.
• always shave in the direction of the hair, never the reverse.
• replace your razor blades regularly to ensure precision shaving and to prevent accumulation of bacteria
• rinse your skin with warm water and dab your face with a towel, without rubbing.
• apply a facial moisturizer, to nourish and soothe your dry face.
