What not to do for facial hair

Those are my best recommendations for facial hair removal but now let’s talk about what NOT to do for facial hair removal.

Shaving, especially with multi-blade razors or when used on curly facial hair can cut the hair in such a way that when the hair grows back, the hair curls underneath the skin or pierces into the skin leaving a nasty painful bump So you ’ ve gone from unpleasant facial hair to unpleasant razor bumps If you are still keen to shave I advise using an electric clipper with a minimum cutting length of 0 5mm This ensures that the hair is cut just above the skin and can grow freely upwards, avoiding any risk of growing into the skin Shaving less often, shaving in the direction of hair growth sterilising razors before use and shaving with warm water are additional ways to reduce skin damage from shaving
