Winter Shaving 101: How to Avoid Dry Skin and Irritation

Winter weather can wreak havoc on your skin especially if you're someone who shaves frequently. Already more susceptible to being dry, sensitive, and irritated, a freshly shaved face is no match for what these cold months can bring. Unless, of course, you come prepared to fight a battle your face can truly win.

Here are a few tried-and-true tips to make sure your face remains healthy-looking in appearance all winter as it does in the spring!

Shave at night: Our skin heals itself while we sleep. So the best time for overall healing and repair after a shave is at bedtime. Not only will your skin thank you but you'll also get a few extra Z's in the morning. It's a win-win!

Moisturize and heal: Moisturizers help the skin to retain moisture while aftershave balms help to calm and heal. Both are important steps. And luckily, our 3 IN 1 Daily Moisturizer combines these benefits in one step, for the ultimate daily skincare routine.

Keep your razor sharp: Dull blades mean more tugging and pulling, so make sure to replace your blades frequently for a smoother, closer, and irritation free shave.

Choose the right shave cream: A mildly scented shave cream the provides a good glide will create less passes. And, can make all the difference for a closer more comfortable shave.

Exfoliate once a week: General recommendations are 2-3x’s a week. But, cold weather can be harsh on your skin, so a once a week routine during this season is most ideal. Also remember, shaving is exfoliating too!

By following these tips, you'll be ready to take on winter and have a face that looks just as good as it does in spring.
