Shaving your face used to be something that only men did, but now women do it too. And why wouldn’t they? Women already pluck or wax their eyebrows, lips, and chin, not to mention their legs, and some even get a bikini wax and even pluck the hairs on their toes. Women are not fans of hair, and now shaving your face has become a new trend that many are keeping a secret, but they really shouldn’t!
There are many reasons why women shave their faces. Some have a lot of facial hair and just don’t like how it looks especially when your hairs get in the way when applying make-up. Others just do it because it works wonders for their skin.
The good news is that shaving your face is perfectly normal. You can get it waxed or threaded, which are two very popular forms of removing unwanted facial hair, except it can be painful.
You can also try it at home with a razor, there are special facial razors that you can buy, as well as moisturizing shaving creams that not only help keep your face moisturized, but they also promise no irritation. Whatever you do, do not use your leg razor. Use a single-edge, single blade razor one that has curves, that way you can easily shave your face without the risk of cutting yourself. Hold the razor at a 45-degree angle against your skin and lightly begin removing your hairs. You can do dry shaving or apply shaving cream–your preference.
Women that are worried about hair growing back thicker can relax because your facial hair is different than other hair on your body. It doesn’t grow back thick or stubbly; instead, it will grow back, light and soft. When you shave your face, you’re basically exfoliating and by removing your hair, you are also removing dead skin cells. After you shave, remember to moisturize because freshly shaved skin helps the products absorb into your skin better. So you are left with soft, glowy skin and everyone will think you just had a facial done at the spa!
