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
