Before hair removal, you usually need to shave body hair first for the treatment to work effectively. But are you shaving the right way? Let’s find out with Vatico.
Exfoliate first
Before shaving, you should remove dead skin cells from the lower legs. Since the feet and legs tend to be dry, dead skin often builds up more than on other parts of the body. Exfoliating helps the razor get closer to the hair follicles, so you can achieve a cleaner shave.

Use a multi-blade razor
You should use a razor with 3 to 4 blades. With more blades, this type of razor can more easily shave different hair types, from fine to coarse, straight or curly. In addition, the pressure on each blade is distributed more evenly, making shaving easier.

Shave body hair in the right direction
Most people shave in the direction of hair growth (from top to bottom). However, to make sure you shave as close to the root as possible, place the razor against the direction of hair growth. In addition, you should start shaving from the ankles up to the knees, then from the knees up to the thighs. Use short, gentle strokes.

After shaving thoroughly, you should use a hair removal device to target the hair roots more effectively. After shaving, hair grows back very quickly. And if you shave carelessly, it can also make regrowth appear thicker and coarser than before.
