4. A wrong razor
Did you think a razor with multiple blades is the best option when it comes to shaving? We did! It’s true that you’ll have a smoother result when you use a razor with multiple blades, but it does damage your skin more. What happens with these multiple blades is that the first blade slices off the hair and exposes the skin. The second blade can then cut the hair even shorter. The more blades you have, the shorter the hair, but also the closer to the skin you’re shaving. This causes irritation and ingrown hairs.
5. Lotion
It happens to us quite often that we have a pretty dry skin when we get out of the shower (probably because we ignore tip number 1). That’s why it’s wise to rub some bodylotion on your skin when you’re done showering. But did you know that it’s best to apply the bodylotion when your skin is still slightly damp? So, only dab your skin dry instead of rubbing it with a towel. The little bit of moisture that’s left behind is absorbed by your skin along with the bodylotion.
6. Prevent tangles
There’s nothing more annoying than wet, dripping hair after you come out of the shower. It’s very tempting to just rub it dry with a towel. You’re better off not doing that, though, because you’ll be rubbing tangles into your hair, which makes it very brittle. Your hair will break more quickly and it will look very dry. Carefully wrap your hair in the towel and leave it to dry in there instead. It’s even better to use a towel that’s made out of microfiber; this will prevent fluff and is better for your hair.
