class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Face Shaving 101<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to removing hair anywhere on our bodies, there\u2019s plenty of debate to go with it. How you do it, why you do it and where you do it are all up to you, and no one else. So, if you\u2019re looking for reliable tips, tricks and advice, you\u2019ve come to the right place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today on The Dose, we\u2019re taking a dive into the world of face shaving, with a little help from our expert <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/meet-the-team\">Dermatology Team<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is face shaving?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Face shaving is exactly that \u2013 the practice of shaving your face. For men, the idea of shaving is pretty familiar \u2013 five-blade razor, shaving cream, tissues at the ready to help stop nicks and cuts from bleeding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But in recent years, face shaving has become more popular with women too. This might be to remove the vellus hair or \u201cpeach fuzz\u201d, the light layer of hair on your face, to manage excess hair growth as a result of a hormonal imbalance like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/why-does-my-skin-change-with-my-menstrual-cycle\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"795\">PCOS<\/a>, or to remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While facial hair removal methods are well established in the beauty space, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-combining-cosmetic-and-beauty-treatments-with-tretinoin\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3265\">laser and IPL<\/a>, waxing and threading to name a few, face shaving in particular started to trend with the rise of Korean and Japanese beauty. The practice is nothing new in Asia, as women have been shaving their faces for centuries, but in the West, we\u2019re still getting used to it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s two main ways to go about it \u2013 you can use a standard multi-blade razor to shave (the more traditional method) or you can use a single blade to gently remove the hair. This can be all over the face, or in localised areas like your eyebrows, chin or upper lip.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Face shaving or dermaplaning?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The difference between face shaving and dermaplaning is small, but important. Face shaving utilises either a single-blade or a multi-blade razor specifically designed for removing hair.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/truth-and-tiktok-skincare-trends-face-icing-dermaplaning-and-slugging\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2097\">Dermaplaning<\/a> is a specific type of physical exfoliation and depilation. You need to use a sharp, sterile blade (professional aestheticians would use a medical scalpel) to cut closer to the skin, removing not only hair but dead skin and surface-level debris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both are effective at removing unwanted hair, but if that\u2019s all you want to do, it\u2019s best to stick to face shaving rather than dermaplaning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pre-care and after-care<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start shaving, make sure your face and the blade you decide to use are clean. Use a gentle cleanser like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/shop\/hydrating-cleanser\">Purify + Prep Hydrating Cleanser<\/a> to soften the skin and wash away dirt or makeup.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re using a multi-blade razor, make sure you\u2019re changing it regularly and rinsing the blades well. A dull razor can actually do more harm than good, so make sure you swap them out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re using a single-blade razor, sterilise it thoroughly \u2013 rubbing alcohol or boiling water should do the trick. Regardless of which method you choose, make sure you\u2018re only using one tool for your face, and another for the rest of your body.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow up your shave with another cleanse if you feel you need it, and pick a soothing, hydrating moisturiser to apply. Shaving can be stressful for the skin, particularly if you\u2019re doing it regularly, so opt for a moisturiser with calming ingredients and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ingredient-deep-dive-humectants\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4707\">humectants<\/a> like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ingredient-deep-dive-hyaluronic-acid\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3864\">hyaluronic acid<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ingredient-deep-dive-glycerin\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2657\">glycerin<\/a> and allantoin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shaving myth buster<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><em>\u201cShaving only makes the hair grow back thicker and faster\u201d<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is a common misconception,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/meet-the-team\">Dr Ben Esdaile<\/a>, Consultant Dermatologist explains. \u201cWhen a hair is shaved, the tip that grows back will appear thicker as the tapered end has been shaved off. The hair is still the same diameter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><em>\u201cYou don\u2019t need to exfoliate before shaving\u201d<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally, you\u2019ll want to remove any dead skin before shaving, especially if you\u2019re using a multi-blade razor. It can lengthen the life of your blades, and prevent them from becoming clogged with dead skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it\u2019s important you do this gently with a chemical exfoliator like an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/skincare-and-acids-guide-ahas-bhas-and-your-routine\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2510\">AHA or BHA<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/myth-buster-the-difference-between-retinol-and-retinoids\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1954\">topical retinoids<\/a> as part of your long-term <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/how-to-build-a-skincare-routine\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3629\">skincare routine<\/a>, rather than harsh physical scrubs the night before.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAvoid cleansers that mechanically exfoliate the skin, cleansers that contain ingredients like micro beads or sand and usually describe themselves as scrubs.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/meet-the-team\">Dr Jason Thomson<\/a>, Head of Medical at Skin + Me tells us.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese scrub cleansers can irritate the skin, damage the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/your-skin-barrier-protection-guide\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2634\">skin barrier<\/a> and lead to inflammation so can make conditions like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/the-skin-and-me-guide-to-acne\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"467\">acne<\/a> worse and result in skin sensitivity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><em>\u201cDry shaving is totally fine\u201d<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yikes! Not only will dry shaving make your skin more prone to inflammation, it\u2019s also a nightmare for your razors. It\u2019ll dull them quicker and clog them up with dry skin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a specific shaving cream, gel or lotion to provide a smooth surface for the blade to glide over. Lubricating the skin properly creates a barrier between your skin and the blade, limiting the possibility of nicks and cuts. Just make sure you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/skincare-101-everything-you-need-to-know-about-cleansing\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4863\">cleanse<\/a> and rinse your skin well afterwards.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Final thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether face shaving is for you is a completely personal choice, so don\u2019t feel pressured either way.
