Hi, my name is Risha Rox and I'm a makeup artist. Today, I'm going to talk with you about how to shave without having dry skin afterwards. Shaving is great. It removes unwanted hair. It's a fantastic exfoliator, however, it does tend to leave you with dry skin and I'm going to leave you with a few ways to combat this. Number one, never ever ever do a dry shave, in a pinch, don't do it for any reason. It will definitely dry your skin out and also create much more potential for lacerations, abrasions, which then leads to infection. Don't dry shave, use shaving cream or whatever you can use to lather it up. Number two, use a sharp fresh razor every time. If you are using disposable razors, dispose of them often so that each time you shave you're getting a fresh blade and a clean shave. This will help your skin to not dry out as much and also will help you with the lacerations and abrasions as well. Number three, there are a lot of great razors on the market right now that have moisture strips and lather, all built right into the razor. You should use one of these. They use good ingredients like aloe. This one in particular has milk and honey and Shea butter, all these things are great for your skin and will help. They sit right above the blade so as you are shaving, you're also moisturizing right at the same time. And number four, when you are done shaving, you have to moisturize and after shaving I recommend a heavy obvious cream like this. My name is Risha Rox, and I've just told you how to avoid dry skin after shaving.
