Face Shaving Tips: Dry or Tight Skin

Dry Skin

How you prepare for and complete your shave might be playing a big role in why you have dry or tight skin. You can address the problem with these simple approaches to beginning and ending your shave.

Before you shave:

Make sure you wash your face and neck with a soap-free face wash or facial scrub. Do not use bar soap—it will dry out your skin. A moisturizing, conditioning, or soap-free shave gel will minimize the drying of your skin that results from shaving.

During shave:

You can use Gillette SkinGuard Sensitive Razor for a comfortable shave. The latest Gillette SkinGuard technology is designed for men with sensitive and dry skin which is prone to acne, razor burns and bumps.

After you shave:

Moisturize your skin right after you shave, when newly exposed skin cells are most receptive to moisture. Ultimately, moisturizing will relieve the dry or tight feeling. Try Gillette® Series Sensitive Skin After Shave Lotion, which offers relief to just-shaved skin with a soothing, rich formula and the moisture-enhancing properties of glycerin.
