Why This Pre Shave Oil Routine Is Key
If you have sensitive skin or irritated skin after shaving, you need to be using pre shave oil. Whether you are just shaping your beard or you are going with a clean shave, this oil will help soothe and prepare your skin for a good shave.
Using this oil will condition your skin and keep your skin from flakes and beardruff. Pre shave oils contain powerful, natural ingredients that will soften your face while preventing bumps, razor burn, and rashes.
Plus, this oil will help heal dry skin and soften both your hairs and your skin. Most shave oils are made with essential oils that add powerful nutrients and amazing, scents to your shave.
How to Use Pre Shave Oil
1. Always shower first or prep the skin with a hot towel. This will open up your follicles and make your skin more flexible and adaptable against a razor.
2. Put 3-5 drops of shave oil in your hand and massage throughout your beard or skin like you would a beard oil.
3. Lather and shave.
4. Once you have completed shaving, rinse your skin with cold water to calm the skin and close the pores.
5. Finally, add an after shave oil, Beard Oil to soothe the skin to keep you from looking splotchy.
Something to Note
Be sure to use a pre shave oil with a natural base such as jojoba oil or coconut oil that won’t clog pores. When you put hot water on your skin, your pores will open, making them more susceptible to bacteria, etc. to enter. You want to use an oil that is antibacterial and chemical free. Jojoba Oil for example is an oil with wax properties.
This will sit nicely on your skin creating an even smoother shave experience. Also, within Jojoba are anti-fungal, anti aging, and anti inflammatory properties that will keep your skin smooth, acne free, and decrease any redness and smelling from irritation.
