Hey guys, I’ve been hearing a lot about exfoliating before shaving. Some say it makes the skin smoother and reduces ingrown hairs. Has anyone tried this? What’s your experience? I’m thinking about adding it to my routine but not sure if it’s worth the extra step.
Exfoliating before shaving not only smooths the skin and reduces ingrown hairs but also enhances razor glide, as cited by Gillette and The Art of Shaving. This practice helps remove dead skin cells and unclogs pores, preparing the skin for a closer shave. For optimal results, consider using products like the Peppermint Facial Scrub or Gillette’s Exfoliating Razor, which combine exfoliation and shaving in one step. Dermatologists, as referenced in Southern Living, also endorse this method for improved skin texture and minimized irritation. For more, check the detailed guides on Dove and Vivantskincare.
