So before you start removing your hair, it's important to steer clear of these common mistakes that might give you cuts, bumps and burns. Keep watching and thank us later.

Exfoliate before shaving

Before you start shaving, it's important to exfoliate your skin in order to remove dead skin cells, oil or dirt.

Lather up before shaving

Always ensure that you soak the skin in warm water for a few minutes, apply a cleanser or shaving foam and then start shaving.

Always shave in the opposite direction

Use a fresh razor blade each time and as a thumb rule, always shave in the opposite direction. Do not shave the same area more than twice.

Moisturise after shaving

After shaving, the skin is prone to sensitivity and irritation so always use a moisturiser for a healthy and glowy skin. And don't forget to apply sunscreen before stepping out.
