Top 3 Winter Shave Mistakes!

Having more difficulty with your shave routine in winter than in summer? More nicks, cuts and irritation? Chances are it’s not an illusion – your summer routine is probably more efficient, simply because you do it with more regularity. If you want your skin to look great all year round, make sure to use a shave cream like Pure Silk® Moisturizing Shave Cream, and be sure to avoid these top three winter shaving mistakes:

Soaking too long in the bath: If you love taking long, hot baths, don’t shave after you’ve soaked for longer than 15 minutes. Hairs will be less available to the razor’s edge, because skin swells up with water after soaking for awhile and you’ll have stubble sooner than usual.

Using a worn-out razor blade: Pay attention to your razor blade. You’re apt to change it more frequently in the warm weather when you’re shaving regularly. A worn-out blade will deliver a less-than-perfect shave with greater possibility for nicks and cuts.

Ignoring the bikini line: Continue to shave your bikini line. The “stop in the winter, start in the summer” routine that most women practice leads to greater razor irritation and red bumps. To minimize irritation, use a shave cream such as Pure Silk® Moisturizing Shave Cream in Coconut & Oat Flour, which contains aloe and oat flour extract to calm and soothe the skin.

Pure Silk® Moisturizing Shave Cream is available in six different scents and can be bought at drugstores and mass merchandise stores nationwide for a suggested retail price of $1.79 – 9.5 oz can.
