Oily or Acne-prone Skin
G Fact
Dull blades can lead to nicks and irritation
You might be surprised to know that shaving may help you manage your skin. It’s a great exfoliator, and it helps prevent blackheads and whiteheads. What’s just as important though is shaving in a manner that suits your oily or acne-prone skin. Here are some helpful tips:
Tip 1: Wash and hydrate your face and neck before shaving.
A wash or scrub will remove oil, dirt and dead skin cells that can block your razor’s path and prevent a smooth glide, while hydrating in warm water for at least three minutes will soften facial hair, making it easier to cut.
Tip 2: Choose a shave gel that's right for you.
Tip 3: Go easy.
Use light, gentle strokes when shaving. This is especially important over areas of your face that are flared up. Ultimately, the razor should do the work, not you.
Tip 4: Apply a light, non-comedogenic moisturiser after shaving.
The non-comedogenic moisturizer won’t clog your pores. Which is a good thing because clogged pores can lead to breakouts.
Tip 5: Wash your face at night.
with a soap-free wash to remove the daily build-up of oil.
