How do I shave if I have pimples?
Shaving is aggressive for your skin and it increases the risk of irritation and infection. In addition, you risk injuring some of your pimples while shaving and thus make their condition worse. So it is better to take some precautions:
- First of all, do not shave every day to leave your skin time to recover between shaves.
- When you shave, begin by wetting your skin with warm water to open your pores and facilitate the work of the razor.
- Chosen an electric razor which is less aggressive than razors with blades.
- If you prefer razors with blades, do not forget to use shaving cream and renew your razor every week, otherwise you may injure yourself with a blunt blade.
- Do not shave too closely to prevent ingrown hairs.
- Lastly, after shaving, thoroughly disinfect any cuts and apply a moisturiser to soothe your skin, such as Boréade Soothing Repair Skincare.
