Lockdown grooming: 7 shaving hacks every woman will swear by
Parlours and spas have been closed for a long time now and people who are used to visiting them regularly
Parlours and spas have been closed for a long time now and people who are used to visiting them regularly must be having a hard time grooming themselves at home. But self-grooming is not that difficult as it may seem. Sometimes you just need to follow a few tips and tricks to achieve the desired look.
One of the most affordable and easiest ways to get rid of hair is by shaving it with a razor. But before you pick your razor up and head to the bathroom to shave, follow these steps to make the process go smoothly.(Unsplash)

Exfoliate before shaving: Scrubbing before shaving is one of the most important steps. This will get rid of all the dead skins and leave you with a smooth area to work on. Scrubbing post-shave is not recommended since the skin is most sensitive then and could cause irritation.(File image)

Shave after a warm shower: The warm water will expand the pores which will make the hair follicles come closest to the surface making it easier for you to shave.(Unsplash)
Do not use old razor: If you are using disposable razors, do not use them for more than 4-5 shaves.(Unsplash)

Shave against the growth of hair: Make sure to glide your razor against the growth of hair so if you are shaving your legs, use short strokes and start from the bottom. But if you have sensitive skin, shave downwards first and then upwards.(Unsplash)
