Pointers On Shaving Hair Removal Technique
The shaving hair removal method sounds pretty easy. You use a sharp blade, drag it across your skin and the hair is cut from the skin surface. But many people get it wrong and wind up abandoning the method. They opt for a cream hair remover or even try expensive permanent hair removal treatments. If you have had back luck in the past with shaving, then perhaps you are not using the right technique. You need to try this method first before making up your mind.
Do you want to know the hidden secret to shaving hair removal? There is no secret. Anyone can use a razor on any part of their body provided that they have the ability to move their hands. Okay, maybe there is a tiny secret. The secret is the first step: you have to soften the hair shaft. You do this by soaking the area with hot or warm water for at least a few minutes. A soft hair shaft is far easier to cut and will leave smoother skin.
The second stage is where many people go wrong. They try to shave in a hurry. Apply the shaving lotion to the area that you want to shave. Let the lotion sit for a few minutes. The lanolin and the skin conditioner in the shaving lotion will further relax the hair shaft. Step three is taking the sharp razor and shaving. You should make slow, firm strokes. It is important to not drag the razor repeatedly over an area. If you miss a spot or two of hair, you can always go back at the end. By using long strokes, slowly, you will pick up quite a bit of hair. After you make a swipe, rinse the blade well and return to your work. Before long the entire area will be smooth and hair free.
Rinse the area with warm water but right before you are finished and ready to towel off, splash cool water on the area. This will help soothe the skin and tighten the pores. The final stage is pretty easy. Apply some lotion to the newly shaved area and you will be ready to go. Unfortunately, even the best shaving hair removal technique is only temporary. You will probably have to shave everyday or at least every few days depending on how fast your hair grows.
