Women's Facial Shaving

I have a confession:
I shave my face!!

That's right I do and I'm proud of it!

I also shave my arms if you really need to know because I hate hair on my body.

However, I don't use a man razor...I use a facial razor. Big big difference between the two!

Please please please never put a Gillette man razor to your face!

I have used a couple different brands of facial razors, so far my favorite are the Personna brand. I buy them at a professional beauty supply but I looked online and they say they sell them at Walgreens. They are very cheap around 3 to 4 dollars for a pack of 3. I also have used a brand named Tinkle that I buy at Amazon.

On the package it shows a picture of them shaping their eyebrows with it but I wouldn't mess with your eyebrows unless you know what you're doing. Mostly just use it for your face and neck.

Now I know what some of you may be thinking right about now.

Will my hair grow back thicker, darker or coarser??? You're scared because the hair on your legs grows back all stubbly.

The answer is NO! 
It won't change at all because the hair on your face is much finer. It's more like a fuzz so no worries about seeing a 5 o'clock shadow;)

Everyone's hair is different though, so how often you need to shave your face will depend on you. As for me I usually shave mine every 2 weeks.

Now I'll tell you some of the perks of shaving your face.

First and foremost, you won't have a mustache, unwanted chin hairs, or a furry face when people see you in different lights.

Your face will feel so soft like a baby.

It also makes for better makeup application. Your foundation will go on so smoothly.

It's also Anti Aging!

Seriously it is because it's exfoliating your skin plus when you shave it causes a very minor irritation to skin which in turn causes tightening and plumping to take place over time and that's what will minimize fine lines and wrinkles.

Here are some helpful hints for when you shave:

Don't go straight down, go at an angle with little strokes.

Pull your skin up to get around and under your chin and jawline.

Also shave your neck area right by your hairline. That's where a lot of peach fuzz is that we don't want to see.

I usually just shave mine right after I wash my face, that way the skin is softened a bit. You can also use creams or lotions but I don't think it's necessary, but like I said everyone's skin is so different.

Ok, well there you have it, my thoughts on facial hair.

Let's put our best face forward and start shaving!;)
