The shaving result depends on your preparation. A preparation can make your shave more comfortable, smoother, and hassle-free. Scrubbing can be a very important part of your shave, although many men do not know that. That's why it's time to thoroughly examine the link between scrubbing and Shaving.
Why scrub the skin before Shaving?
Your skin is constantly renewing and cells are never idle. The younger you are, the more often your skin renews itself. Now you might wonder where those dead skin cells go, and that's exactly the point. Those dead skin cells just stay on your skin until you thoroughly remove them. When you remove these dead skin cells, your skin will be able to breathe better, absorb nutrients better, become more even, and ensure a better shaving result.
Cleansing your Face before Shaving is important anyway, but scrubbing brings additional benefits. You also scrub away ingrown hairs and flat-lying hairs so that they are also ready to be Shaving. Your skin will also become softer, cleaner, and smoother, preventing irritations and ingrown hairs. Clogged pores will open, your skin will have better circulation, and you'll need to Shaving less often. This is because the shaving result is much better. Win-win!
Scrub before or after Shaving?
This question still comes up a bit too often, so we're going to make this clear once and for all. Scrubbing comes before Shaving! That is the golden order because you prepare your shave while scrubbing. If you Shaving first and then scrub, you're waiting for skin irritation. Also, scrubbing no longer has a positive effect in combination with the shave. So let's remember: scrub before Shaving.
How should you scrub yourself?
Scrub is a type of cream filled with tiny granules. First, wet your skin and then apply the Scrub. Note: there is facial scrub specifically for your Face, and Scrub specifically for your Body. So use the right one! After applying, gently massage the Scrub into your skin with circular motions. Absolutely do not apply pressure! If you want to make sure you scrub thoroughly, it's better to scrub longer rather than harder. Rinse your skin thoroughly after scrubbing so that all the small granules are washed away. Now it's an option to care for your Face with a good nourishing Face Cream.
How often should you scrub yourself?
It's not necessary to scrub every day, as it can have an impact on your skin if you do it too often. It also depends on the Skin Type you have. The golden rule is, in any case, not to scrub more than 2x per week. With sensitive skin, you should not scrub more than 1x per week.
