JAKARTA - Shaving facial hair may still be quite taboo for women. However, shaving the hair on the face turns out to provide many benefits for women if they do it right.

Shaving the face can give a smoother and more glowing skin. The makeup used on the shaved face will stick very well.

Quoting from Pinkvilla, regularly shaving the facial hair can reduce the appearance of fine lines on the face and increase cell changes. This will also make the skincare used every day better absorbed.

However, when shaving the facial hair is important to use the right tools and techniques. This must be done in order to avoid irritation or unwanted side effects on the face.

Choose a barber with a sharp knife specifically designed for the face. This shaving tool helps remove smooth vellus hair and dead skin cells on the face well.

Preparation of facial skin before shaving is very important. Clean your face first with a soft cleaning to remove dirt and oil, to prevent clogged pores.

For extra softness, you can apply a warm and moist towel to your face for a few minutes before shaving. This softens facial hair and opens pores so that the shaving process is smoother.

Applying a cream or shaving gel will also create a protective layer between the skin and a shaving knife. This will reduce friction and minimize the risk of irritation from a barber.

If you have sensitive skin or are prone to acne, make sure to avoid facial areas that have active acne when shaving. This is done to prevent damage to facial skin.
