Many women are using facial razors for both the brows and the removal of peach fuzz around the chin, neck, upper lip, cheeks, forehead and even the nose. In fact, beauty models have been shaving their faces for years. If you’re wondering why, by removing facial hair, it allows for better makeup application and a smooth, even complexion.
Unlike dermaplaning, which removes dead skin and sebum from the skin’s surface (similar to exfoliation), using facial razors removes hair and stops products from sticking to and caking around hair on the face. It also means that skincare products can better penetrate the skin and get to work on a clearer, more hydrated complexion.
The Precision Folding Razor's characteristics
The Precision Folding Razor features a dual-sided stainless steel, high-quality blade. It’s portable and folds easily so that the blade can be safely tucked away when not in use. The built-in brush makes it easy to maintain a clean, sharp edge for brows and the face.
How do I use a facial razor?
- Step 1:
Wet your face with a warm face cloth to open up the pores and soften skin. It’s best to use a facial hair razor after a shower or bath as the steam naturally opens pores and softens skin. However, if you don’t have the time, hold a warm face cloth to the skin and then dry the face after a minute or two.
- Step 2:
Holding the facial razor at a 45-degree angle and with a light, gentle pressure, apply short feathery strokes in a downward motion and with the direction of hair growth, not against it.
- Step 3:
As the facial razor itself is sharp, take your time and use shorter strokes for more precise shaving. Don’t over use the Precision Folding Razor as not to irritate the skin and cause sensitivity.
Frequently asked questions about facial shaving for women
Can I use a facial razor all over the face?
Yes! The Precision Folding Razor has been designed to be precise for those harder to reach and more delicate areas. You can use a facial razor on the forehead, sideburns, nose, upper lip, chin, neckline and brows! You can even use the facial razor in intimate areas such as the bikini line - just remember to always clean the blade after with an alcohol wipe.
Is shaving your face the same as Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is different to facial shaving. Whilst some dermaplaner blades naturally remove peach fuzz as they’re worked against the skin, most dermaplaners are for the exfoliation of the skin’s surface to remove excess sebum (oil) and dead skin.
Can I use a razor on my eyebrows?
Absolutely! The Precision Folding Razor has been designed to trim harder to reach hair on delicate areas such as the brow. Just take your time and use slow, even strokes around the browline to avoid slipping.
Can facial hair shaving help my PCOS and PCOD Hirsutism?
Hirsutism is a common hormone disorder that causes excess facial hair and body hair growth. Whilst it won’t cure or stop further facial hair growth from hirsutism, facial hair shaving will help the appearance by removing hair from the face.
