What to look for when choosing a shaving product

1. Variety. Most often there are: foams – produced in special aerosol packages, where, when shaken and pressed, an airy, light and dense foam is released, perfectly covering the skin; gels are a transparent substance with a thick consistency, which is also well distributed over the skin, like foam; creams – often applied using a shaving brush, but depending on the characteristics, they can also be applied by hand. It is difficult to choose a favorite here because of the individual preferences of each.
2. Skin type. If you have a sensitive and allergy-prone type, then give preference to special lines of products, where the composition contains soothing ingredients. The same applies to dry, oily and problem skin – each needs a product that, in addition to facilitating the shaving process, will take into account existing features. If the skin is normal, then universal remedies are suitable for any type.
3. Composition. Avoid the presence of free alkali, as this component, with frequent exposure to the epidermis, dries it out, causing burning, itching and redness. Any natural ingredients (aloe vera extract, chamomile, licorice, etc.) will help heal micro-cuts, moisturize and soothe the treated area.
