What is the best shaving routine for men?
To keep the skin in balance and avoid discomfort or infections, we must prepare the skin. We believe that the best shaving routine for men is made up of four steps: prepare, apply, shave and finish.
By following these steps, you can get a perfect shave, without irritating or damaging your skin. Here's an explanation:
1. Prepare
The first step is to prepare the skin and hair for shaving. To do this, it is advisable to wash your face with warm water and a mild facial cleanser, which removes dirt, excess oil and dead skin cells. This prevents pores from clogging and causing pimples or infections.
In addition, thanks to the warm water, the skin is softer and the pores are more open, the hair therefore softens slightly and this makes it less difficult for you to shave.
If you like to add an extra step or enjoy extra care, you can also exfoliate your skin once or twice a week, to remove deeper impurities and prevent ingrown hair.
2. Apply
The second step is to apply a shaving product, which protects the skin from the blade and makes it easier to cut the hair.
It can be a cream, a gel, a foam or a lotion, depending on each person's preferences. The important thing is that its ingredients are as natural as possible, since sliding the blade and cutting the hair, the product penetrates the skin and sneaks into the small wounds that may arise in the process. If the product you use has toxic or aggressive synthetic ingredients (such as alcohol), infections have a greater chance of happening.
It is important that the product you use for shaving has a creamy texture and does not contain alcohol, parabens, sulfates or artificial fragrances, which can dry out or irritate the skin.

Its natural and pleasant aroma envelops you in a feeling of deep well-being and relaxes you. To use it, simply apply a thin layer to damp skin and massage gently, before using the blade.
3. Shave
The third step is to shave the hair with a clean, sharp blade that does not pull or scratch the skin. You can also trim hair, making a smaller cuts and avoiding the depth of the blade. We leave this to your liking.
It is recommended to shave in the direction of hair growth to avoid cuts, irritations and ingrown hairs.
It is advisable to avoid passing through the same area several times, so as not to damage the skin. And rinse the blade with hot water after each pass to remove hair and shaving product that accumulate on it. Thus, a closer and more uniform shave is achieved.
4. Repair
The fourth and final step is to finish the shave with a post-shave product that hydrates, heals, soothes and repairs the skin.

To finish repairing the skin and keep it healthy and hydrated, we recommend that you accompany the serum with the ALL TERRAIN anti-aging moisturizing cream.
