It is important to exfolaite your legs before you shave. It helps to remove dry and dead skin and thus prevents razor burns too.

What Do You Use?

Soap makes the skin feel dry and itchy. Therefore, it is advisable to use a shaving foam for better results and to prevent itching.

Ooops Old Razor?

One of the common mistakes we girls make while shaving our legs is using an old razor. Razors get dull over time which makes it difficult to get a close shave. Old razors also cause razor burn, so best to discard the old ones.

Never Apply Force

It is essential to protect your skin and not harm it. Using force while shaving collects more dead skin cells in the blade and causes more friction, enough for you to cut your leg while shaving.

The Wrong Direction

The best way to shave is to follow the direction of the hair growth, which means you'll start from the bottom of your legs and work your way up. Follow this trick to also decrease the hair growth and to finish with a smooth touch.

Never Share The Razor

One of the common mistakes we girls make while shaving is this -sharing razors. You should know azors harbour bacteria, so when you share your razor; you end up sharing bacteria too.
