Spots and Shaving

If you suffer from spots, you may think that shaving is the worst thing you could do to your face, but it’s actually quite a good way of exfoliating your face and may help prevent the formation of spots.  Just don’t shave over raised spots.

How to get the perfect shave

  • Begin removing dirt and oil by washing your face with OXY Daily Face Wash or OXY Maximum Face Scrub.
  • Rinse your face with warm water and apply a shave gel while your skin is still wet.  This will help soften the hairs, so you don’t need to press so hard
  • Always use a sharp blade so you don’t have to push the blade into your skin
  • Shave with smooth strokes (heavy pressure can damage inflamed skin) in the same direction as your hair grows.  Rinse the blade after each stroke
  • Leave the tricky bits around your mouth and chin until the end giving the hair longer to soften
  • Take care when shaving around raised spots
  • Rinse your face with warm water then splash with cold water to help close the pores
  • Finally, use a shave balm to calm and hydrate the skin
