Five shaving mistakes that cause razor bumps..and how to save your skin

Tired of razor bumps and irritation? Whether you're shaving your face, legs, underarms, or bikini area, these small changes can make a big difference for smoother skin

Shaving Mistake # 1 - Forgetting to exfoliate

Hairs can get trapped under the skin causing bumps and irritation. Exfoliating releases the hair and softens skin

Wadadli Tip: Use a silicone scrubber or shower brush and cleanse with warm water to loosen hairs in bumps

Shaving Mistake # 2 - Shaving skin thats too dry

Shaving without enough moisture creates friction between the blades and skin, causing irritation that leads to bumps

Wadadli Tip: Hydrate skin for 3-5 min with warm water and cleanser to soften hair right before shaving for smoother results

Shaving Mistake # 3- Shaving against the grain

Shaving in the opposite direction that your hair grows causes your hair to be pulled against the root further irritating your skin. It can also cause your hair to be cut below the skin, leading to the hair growing underneath resulting in bumps

Wadadli Tip: If you have to shave against the grain, do it gently with a lot of soap or cream

Shaving Mistake # 4 - Shaving too close or too often

Curly hair can grown back into the skin and cause bumps if its cut too low. Avoid shaving daily or using razors with too many blades

Wadadli Tip: Try not to press too hard on the razor while shaving and avoid shaving over the same areas multiple times

Shaving Mistake # 5 - Skipping Moisturizer

Shaving leaves skin dry and vulnerable to irritation. Moisturizers help rebuild a protective layer while the skin heals between shaves

Wadadli Tip: Beard oils, shea deodorants, body oils, or lotions are great options to moisturize skin after shavinge scrubber or shower brush and cleanse with warm water to loosen hairs in bumps
