7 Shaving Problems of Girls That Should Fix Immediately

One of those pearls of insight you seem to have born with could be how to shave your legs. But because you have a second nature to shave your legs, you may hurt your skin by making a few mistakes or by skipping a few essential steps. If you are someone who wants to shave their legs, armpits, and more, keep reading from a few dermatologists to learn all that this method of hair removal has to offer.

1. Forcing yourself with a “women’s” shaving razor.

Do girls really need a razor other than a guy who shaved his legs? Nah.  You don't need a rose razor, a specialized razor, or an infused with anything for a good shave unless you've found your favorite razor brand. You should just use the same brand guys.

A dermatologist for Venus, Jennifer Herrmann, MD states that if you wish to make something more tailored for your legs, there are a variety of straight razor that is specifically designed to' architecturally suit the curves and outlines of a woman.'

2. Sharing a razor with someone.

You can use the same product entirely if it works for you, but Sandy Skotnicki, MD, the founding director of the Bay Dermatology Center, and an assistant professor of Toronto University warns against sharing a razor with your partner (or anybody else, in fact). "If a woman uses the razor of her husband, she gets rusty, and then it's not very good for the delicate face of the man," she says. Sharing this device is also an easy way to share germs and bacteria— not something you want to make smooth or clean.

3. Shaving on dry skin.

Is it wrong to shave with dry legs in a pinch? In short, Dr. Skotnicki says yes, shaving dry legs is a bad idea. Dr. Skotnicki suggests that you start with a shave lotion to support the razor through your hair. And she warns, try not to shave multiple times over the same area.

Dr. Herrmann adds that "the risk of irritation, ingestion of hair, and itching will increase by rashing of dry legs." If you have no access to water and need to rash, try putting soap or hair conditioner on your legs before going over them, using a razor to reduce friction, to help prevent injury. "However, she also offers this little hack.

4. Forgetting to exfoliate and moisturize post-shave.

Even when you are using a moisturizing shave lotion, cream or gel, moisturize right after shaving. "Shaving can disturb the barrier of the skin by physically removing some of the top layers of the corneum statue," says Dr. Skotnicki. Dr. Herrmann advises that "healthy, fragrance-free hydrating cream or oil that contains barrier enhancers, including ceramides" should be seen to stay silky smooth as far as possible.

In addition to keeping your skin hydrated, consider exfoliating your skin. Dr. Skotnicki says it might be a good idea to use a dry brush every two to three days to exfoliate your skin to help unlock potentially ingested hairs that start to form from rashing.

5. Shaving at the start of your bath.

According to Dr. Skotnicki, when your skin is warmer, your pores are opened, and your leg hair is smoother you can save shaving for the end of your shower.

6. Packing razors in the bath.

Do you want to finish your razor? She says, "Place it in a dry spot, remove it from the tub." "This prevents the harboring of rust and bacteria in the blades and enhances their shelf life. It is certainly time to throw it when the blade is dull and rusty."

7. Waiting too long to change the razorblades.

Dr. Skotnicki says that when it comes to changing your razors there's no easy and fast rule–all depends on how often you shave.

Morgan Simmons, a senior scientist with Venus ' team of research and development, advises monitoring how often you shave, how you shave, and physical characteristics such as hair thickness. "All of these things can change the length of your razor, so it is different for everyone," she says. "Feeling is the best indicator. If the blades begin to feel sluggish and painful, this is a sign that it is time to change. It occurs usually after five to ten shaves.
