Tired of bumps, redness, and irritation after shaving?
If shaving always seems to leave you with angry skin instead of smooth results, you’re not alone.
The real problem often isn’t shaving itself - it’s what happens before and after.
The good news?
A few simple tweaks to your routine can transform shaving from a stressful event into a smooth, skin-loving ritual.
Here’s the simple, natural 3-step routine your skin will thank you for.
1. Exfoliate Gently Before Shaving
Dead skin cells build up on the surface every day - and if you don’t remove them, they can cause blades to tug, hairs to catch and pores to clog.
Gently exfoliating before you shave helps:
- Remove dead skin buildup
- Prevent ingrown hairs
- Let your razor glide more smoothly
Tip: Use a natural exfoliating scrub (like our Folli Oil Body Scrub) or a gentle Exfoliating Tonic a few times a week. Focus especially on areas prone to roughness like the bikini line, legs, underarms or beard area.
2. Shave Smart (Not Just Fast)
Once your skin is freshly exfoliated, it’s time to shave - carefully.
Better shaving habits = calmer skin.
Quick Shaving Tips:
- Always use a clean, sharp blade
- Wet the skin well with warm water
- Shave in the direction of hair growth to minimise irritation
- Use a hydrating shaving oil or balm instead of foaming gels packed with chemicals
Remember: it's not about rushing - it's about caring for your skin while you shave.
3. Apply a Calming, Nourishing Oil Immediately After
Shaving leaves your skin exposed and vulnerable.
The best thing you can do next is replenish moisture and calm irritation immediately.
That’s where our Daily Treatment Oil comes in - a plant-powered, fast-absorbing blend of jojoba, papaya seed, grapeseed, a blend of skin-loving essential oils and vitamin E designed to:
- Soothe redness and inflammation
- Hydrate and protect your skin barrier
- Help prevent post-shave bumps and ingrown hairs
- Leave your skin feeling smooth, soft, and confident
How to use it:
Apply 2–3 drops to damp skin immediately after shaving - gently massage in with clean hands.
Follow daily for the softest, calmest skin ever.
