How do you shave sensitive skin?

If you have a sensitive skin, it's important to adjust your shave. We'll explain how to do so.

• Tip 1. Prepare your skin.
• Tip 2. Always do a wet shave.
• Tip 3. Adjust your shaving technique.
• Tip 4. Take care of your skin.
• Tip 5. Maintain your electric shaver.

Always take the time to prepare your sensitive skin well for your shave. Wash your skin with warm water, so the beard hairs soften and stand upright. Check if your electric shaver is clean and if the shaver head is in good condition. Do you want to shave off a long bear? Cut or trim the long beard hairs first with scissors or a beard trimmer or beard trimmer attachment.

Always opt for wet shaving. Warm water in combination with paraben free shaving foam or gel makes beard hairs softer. This way, they are easier to shave and you won't hurt your skin as much. Electric shavers for in the shower are perfect for sensitive skin.

Shave with smooth and light movements. Don't apply too much pressure to the skin, but let the electric shaver do the job instead. In addition, try to shave in the direction of the hair growth, especially when you have heavy beard growth. Does your electric shaver have multiple shaving modes? Choose the lightest setting. This setting stresses your skin the least.

When you're done with your shave, wash your skin with cold water. The cold water closes your pores and calms the skin. Next, use a towel to thoroughly dab your skin dry. Make sure you don't rub. Lastly, help your skins calm and recover with a hydrating aftershave or cream without perfume.

For a sensitive skin, it's important to always shave with clean and sharp blades. Make sure you clean your electric shaver well after your shave. You can keep the blades of your electric shaver clean and sharp best with a cleaning station. A cleaning station works with cleaner based on alcohol, which easily removes hairs, skin cells, and other dirt. If you have a sensitive skin, we recommend an electric shaver with a cleaning station.
