Hiiii!
Today we are talking all about shaving your face. YUP, I shave my face and honestly, it’s a complete game changer.
Shaving your face is amazing for SO many reasons and today we are going to chat allll about it. After you finish this post you are going to be a total pro at shaving your face.
So, let’s get into it.
Shaving Your Face: The Do’s & Don’ts
If we’re being honest here, we all got a little peach fuzz. You know what I mean? That annoying hair above your lip that is usually only visible on those really sunny days. Yup, you’re not alone.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
- Gets rid of dead skin cells
- Gives your skin a brighter look
- Helps with acne scars/ facial discoloration
- Makeup goes on 10000x smoother
- Helps with skins texture
DOES IT MAKE YOUR HAIR GROW BACK THICKER/DARKER?
I’ve been doing this little trick for years and the hair on my face has never grown back any thicker or darker! I do believe that it is just a myth but as always make sure to test a patch of your skin prior to doing your entire face.
DOES IT HURT?
Absolutely not. But definitely make sure that you are holding your razor lightly and not applying a lot of pressure
HOW OFTEN DO YOU SHAVE YOUR FACE?
Every week! Doing this 1x a week has helped my skin look so much better. I have naturally thick hair which means a lot of the clogged pores on my faces comes from clogged hair follicles. This has helped me tremendously with the texture and brightness of my skin! Everyone’s hair growth is different so try a doing it a few times and see what works best for you.
CAN YOU USE YOUR REGULAR RAZOR?
I would never recommend doing this, ever! Anything that you use on your legs, pits or any other areas should never be used on your face! The skin on your face is very delicate and you should only use a facial razor when shaving your face. Not to mention, you want to limit as much bacteria possible. Always make sure that you are using a fresh, clean and sterile razor.
HOW SHOULD I PREP MY SKIN?
Start with a clean face. Make sure that you’ve taken off all of your makeup. Your skin doesn’t need to be wet. I wash my face, dry and then use the razor. Again, make sure that you aren’t applying a lot of pressure when shaving.
WHAT DO I DO AFTERWARDS?
I always finish off with an oil. After you shave your skin your pores are open and usually, your skin is dry. I love using an oil with my jade roller after shaving my face.
DO I DO THIS IN THE MORNING OR AT NIGHT?
My skin is usually a little red after. I always do mine at night. I will shave and apply an oil or moisturizer. When you wake up the next morning your skin is SO soft. WAIT until you apply your makeup, you are going to be mind blown!
WHAT TOOLS DO YOU USE?
I LOVE the Sonic Smooth by Michael Todd Beauty. It’s the perfect razor for shaving your face. It comes with a stand for your vanity, charger, lavender moisturizers and tons of extra razors. Not to mention, it’s super cute. I personally prefer this over a normal facial razor from Amazon because I was always throwing the Amazon ones away after like 2 uses. The cheaper razor gets dull super quickly and the thought of using a dull razor on my face freaks me out.
The Sonic Smooth has 3 different speeds which are amazing for all skin types, especially sensitive skin. I normally use the lowest speed because my skin is super sensitive. All 3 speeds are perfect for shaving your face and exfoliating!
