Correct Way to Shave Body Hair At Home
Soak the Skin in Water
If your skin is not well hydrated or dry, you won’t be able to shave your hands or legs. Dry shaving the body hair can be harmful as it will not remove the hair from the roots and can also lead to skin breakouts. And this is why prepping the skin before shaving becomes mandatory. The best time to shave is after the shower as the skin is soft and moist. You can also soak your legs or hands in lukewarm water for a few minutes before going for shaving the body hair. When the hair becomes soft and follicles open up, it makes the shaving process easy and convenient.
Exfoliate the Body
In addition to soaking the skin in water, exfoliating the body before shaving helps with sloughing off the dead skin layer from the body. For a smooth and seamless shaving experience, don’t forget to include a bath sponge or a loofah pad to exfoliate the body. Scrubbing and removing dead skin removes the upper layer of gunk and helps the shaver to glide smoothly and evenly on the skin's surface.
Use Shaving Gel before Shaving
To save time, a lot of people prefer doing dry shaving but it is not suggested while using an electric trimmer as it can cause nicks and cuts on the body. And that’s why it is important to use a liquid soap that acts as a lubricant for helping the device glide on the body smoothly. Using liquid soap and shaving gels keeps up the moisture level of the skin and leaves behind smooth and supple skin.
Shave in the Right Direction
The right shaving technique to avoid bumps, nicks & cuts involves one golden rule which says that never shave against the grain. For closer and more effective hair removal, understand and observe the hair growth pattern. While using the Vega Mystic Lady Shaver, ensure to use the tool with long, steady, and gentle strokes. Shave carefully around the areas with open cuts or acne and stretch your body properly in a comfortable position while shaving.
Clean the Tool after Use
After a few strokes, the trimmer gets full of the hair strands. Hence it becomes important to clean the trimmer after use to get rid of the hair stuck in the blades. For safe and proper cleaning, make sure to use lukewarm water and clean it properly. For those who have recently switched to at-home grooming tools, it is important to remember one thing. The device needs to be cleaned and properly stored after use. In case you repeatedly use female trimmers without cleaning them, they become a hotspot for bacteria and their efficiency and performance get affected too. Hence to ensure hygienic trimming and maintaining a fully functioning device, your grooming tool needs to be cleaned at regular intervals.
