So, with that in mind, here are our favorite shaving tips to share with Dad:
- Always shave at least 30 minutes AFTER waking up. Give those hairs some time to 'wake up' and be ready to shave.
- Shave after or while in the shower. The hot water and the steam open the pores and soften the whiskers.
- Use plenty of good shaving cream. Obviously, we prefer Purifying Whipped Cleanser, since it cleans while it shaves. Regardless of the product, make sure the skin is properly shielded with an appropriate amount of lather. This will protect from nicks and cuts.
- Shave in the direction of the growth - usually downward.
- Rinse the razor often to clear out shavings between the razor blades.
- After shaving, rinse the face with cool water - this will help close those pores back up and protect the face.
- Follow the cool water with a toner. Again, Clear Skin Toner or Refreshing Toner are our choices for this. A toner will ensure a completely clean face and help fight any ingrown hairs.
- MOISTURIZE! We cannot stress how important this is. It ensures that the whiskers remain soft and keeps the face emmolient. (Balancing Moisture Cream would be a perfect choice)
- Lastly, perhaps even the most important tip, please make sure Dad uses his Sunscreen. Make this a part of the everyday routine and make sure that his face is protected. The sun can undo all the good things we do to our skin if we do not protect it.
