On average, a man will shave roughly 20,000 times in his life, so it’s important that you do it right. To avoid ending up looking like Gandalf, here are our easy tips for a perfect shave.
Preparation is Key
Your skin is covered with grime, dirt, oil, and dead skin cells which can cause friction— not ideal if you want a close shave with a smooth skin result. The solution is to start by washing your face with DEFY Dirt Fighter, a cleanser, an exfoliant and, wait for it, a shaving cream all in one! It destroys bacteria, scrubs off the dirt and protects your skin from irritation, leaving your complexion smooth, clean and protected.
Pro Tip: For a smoother shave, use warm water to open up the pores and soften the hairs on your face.
Care For your Weapon
A quality razor will dramatically affect your shave which, in turn, affects how your skin looks and feels. Change your blade regularly (or once you feel any pulling) to avoid nicks and cuts, and a patchy shave.
Pro Tip: Always ensure the blade is clean, dry and sharp.
Quality Cream
Want a perfect shave? Invest in a quality cream. A good cream creates a cushion between your skin and the razor, reducing the likelihood of cuts and irritation.
Lather up DEFY Dirt Fighter one more time to use as a shaving cream. Powered by NVIRO-P, the Dirt Fighter contains an exclusive combination of active ingredients that helps protect your skin while shaving, and leaves your skin feeling smooth and moisturised.
Pro Tip: Always shave with the grain of your hair growth. Shaving against the grain can cause ingrown hairs and razor bumps!
After Care
Grinning and bearing the sting of an aftershave is not the perfect way to end your shave. Traditional aftershaves are high in alcohol, causing the skin to dry out. The alternative? Try DEFY Youth Tonic.
This cooling and moisturising Tonic is backed by the proven effectiveness of TRI-GENICS, featuring three wrinkle-fighting peptides which helps balance moisture levels, controls oil and assists in reducing wrinkles, all this with a fresh, uplifting and manly aroma.
Pro Tip: After your shave, splash cold water onto your face. This allows your pores to tighten and helps to calm the skin.
