Those who suffer from sensitive skin are likely to be
feeling the pinch more than ever at this time of year. The cold snap often
serves to only intensify the suffering that the sensitive skinned are forced to
face. This can make shaving a painful chore to carry out in front of a frosting
mirror every morning. However, with a little care and a sprinkling of know-how,
shaving with a wince and a grimace can become a thing of the past. You will now
longer have to visit your Barber Shop for a close shave that will not bring a
tear to your eye.
Invest in Shaving
Soap
The vast majority of shaving cream from cans is just
lubricating fluff. Men with sensitive skin require a thick, wholesome lather to
protect and nourish the skin. A bar of shaving soap when combined with a
sprinkling of water can produce this effective lather. Using shaving soap bars
that contain only natural ingredients from The Body Shop can help soothe the
skin during a shave.
Exfoliate and Clean
the Face before a Shave
Taking a hot shower can help rid the face of dead skin cells
and softens the hair. A quality face scrub will get any excess dead skin from
the face. This will make the shave a lot smoother and reduce the irritation. An
easier shave will lead to a far pleasant shave and a smoother end result. +King Barber Shop & Hairdresser
Perfect your
Technique
You may be forced to forget the lessons that your father
taught you as a 14 year old in front of the bathroom mirror. It is time to
perfect a shaving technique tailored to sensitive skin. After leaving the
shower, fill the sink with water. Then proceed to wet your shaving brush and
face. Work up a good lather and apply to the face. Use downward razor strokes
and rinse the razor between each stroke. Always save the neck until last as that
is where the hairs are coarsest and need to most softening from the lather.
