Cleanse your face with a mild foaming cleanser—make sure this doesn’t have any active ingredients. Using a mild foaming cleanser will clean the skin of any impurities or bacteria before you shave. You will also want to make sure your hands are clean of bacteria. (Do not touch your phone once they are clean!) Lastly, ensure you shave with new, clean blades each time you shave. Apply a small amount of cleanser to the face lather, leave it on the face, and proceed to shave the face and rinse the face well.
Addittional information
Shaving hair doesn't change its thickness, color, or rate of growth. A razor cannot change or alter your natural keratin cells, so it would be impossible for shaving to affect these.
We advise shaving in the direction of hair growth; however, if you accidentally do not, you may give the hair a blunt tip. The tip might feel coarse or "stubbly" for a time as it grows out. During this phase, the hair might be more noticeable and perhaps appear darker or thicker—but it's not.
There are unique particular cases where hormonal imbalances and genetic factors may make hair coarser as you age, however this is NOT a result of facial shaving. Do not use if you have acne.
