When you take a warm shower the steam from it helps to relax pores on the face and prepare it for a more comfortable shave. Apply a warm towel to the skin before your shave to soften the skin and limit irritation.

Shaving can lead to patterns of skin inflammation and infection like facial bumps (aka razor bumps) or razor burn caused from irritation from the razor. The skin may become red, chafed and burn. To fight irritation and prep your skin for a good shave mix your YELLE Awakening Milk & Honey cleanser with an exfoliating scrub to lift hairs and generously exfoliate the skin prior to shaving.

A quality shave means having all the right quality essentials in place to get the job done. This includes The YELLE Essential Kit to prep the skin and for moisturizing after shaving. A shave oil, shave cream, and additional post shave treatment to address pesky ingrown hairs if necessary.

There are so many different types of razors with different features and options to choose from. Choose the razor with an appropriate blade that is right for you and your skill level. Make sure that your razor is in pristine shape with no dull or worn out blades or rust.

Never use a dirty razor. A dirty razor is a sure- fire way to irritate the skin. The key to keeping your razor healthy is rinsing it with hot water to remove build up. Properly dry your razor to avoid rust and bacteria. A razor stand might also come in handy for other essentials you use while shaving. If you use a disposable razor remember to replace it after around 5-6 uses.

A shave brush helps to lift hairs and create the foundation for a gentle shave, they provide light exfoliation and come in several different types. The badger brush is how favorite. It helps with exfoliating and maintaining moisture.

If you have sensitive skin you consider shaving less often, keeping your skin hydrated the YELLE Awakening moisturizer is helpful here and of course avoiding products that irritate the skin. There are also razors that can accommodate a more comfortable shave for your sensitive skin as well.
