Perfect Shaving: What to Do Before and After Using a Razor

Perfect Shaving: What to Do Before and After Using a Razor

The truth?

The secret to smooth, soft, irritation-free skin isn’t just about choosing the right razor (though having a good one definitely helps!).

What really makes the difference are all those little steps you take before and after shaving.

Because yes: prepping your skin beforehand and taking care of it afterwards is what separates a meh shave from one that makes you want to touch your legs every two minutes.

 

Why is pre- and post-shaving care so important?

Think about it: when you shave, you're running a blade across your skin.

If your skin isn’t prepared, or if you skip aftercare, you’re much more likely to experience irritation, itching, redness, or ingrown hairs.

But just a few easy steps can turn shaving into a moment of self-care and give you smooth, silky, glowing skin.

 

PRE: What to Do Before Shaving

1. Gently exfoliate

Exfoliation is your best ally for a smooth shave!

  • It removes dead skin cells;
  • Helps unclog pores;
  • Prevents ingrown hairs.

 

💡 Use a gentle mechanical exfoliant that won’t damage the skin.

The Hoily Drops exfoliating glove is perfect: it exfoliates, but gently.

You can use it 1–2 times a week on damp skin (even in the shower).


2. Never shave dry! Always prep your skin.

Dry shaving is a big, BIG NO.

❌ Increases friction

❌ Irritates the skin

❌ Causes cuts and redness

 

So what should you do instead?

Always apply a shaving mousse to help the blade glide more easily and protect your skin.

 

3. Use a sharp, high-quality razor.

An old razor or dull blades are some of the main culprits for:

  • Cuts
  • Irritation
  • Uneven regrowth
  • Ingrown hairs

 

👀 The Razor Starter Set has 5 sharp blades and a flexible head that follows your body’s curves without stressing your skin.


When should you change the blade?

When the lubricant strip around it is gone!

Fler blades typically last around 7 full-body uses, but it can vary depending on the areas you shave.

 

POST: How to Pamper Your Skin After Shaving

1. Rinse with cool water

It helps close the pores, soothes any redness, and gives a refreshing feeling.



2. Pat dry (don’t rub!) with a towel

Rubbing too harshly can cause micro-irritations.

❌ No rough

🧡 Just gentle motions

 

3. Moisturize with a soothing cream

After shaving, your skin needs nourishment, hydration, and protection.

Slow It Down is perfect for this:

  • Absorbs quickly
  • Hydrates without feeling heavy
  • Slows down hair regrowth thanks to Gymnema Sylvestre extract

Win-win!

 

4. Got sensitive skin? Add a soothing oil!

If your skin tends to be delicate or easily irritated after shaving, always apply a few drops of Hoily Drops:

  • Soothes
  • Calms
  • Prevents irritation in the following days

Pro tip: bring it with you on holiday or in your bag – just in case!

 

5. What to avoid right after shaving ❌

  • Exfoliating again
  • Sauna or hot baths
  • Intense workouts (sweat + friction = irritation)
  • Perfumes or alcohol-based products
  • Tight clothing

 

Final Thoughts: Your Skin Deserves Love – Before and After

Shaving isn’t just about looks – it’s a moment you dedicate to yourself.

With a little care, you can turn shaving into a moment of self-love and give yourself a pampering ritual every time you pick up your razor.
