Shaving cream has been around for eons and many men and women don’t know there are better alternatives for your skin – namely shaving oil.
Shaving cream users are used to the classic ‘instant foam’ can; while these give you a quicker lather, the instantaneous foaming means you are spending less time preparing the skin by massaging it which itself helps soften and prepare the beard for shaving.
Although shaving oils don’t lather, they help protect your face from scrapes, nicks and cuts by providing a protective layer for your skin so the razor glides over the skin, stripping away beard, but leaving the skin intact.
The benefits of shaving with oil, for both men and women, are unmistakable. For those who’ve been looking for that perfect, smooth shave and are tired of razor bumps and burns, shaving oil may be just the answer you’re looking for. Recently, shaving oils have been revamped so you only need a small amount of shaving oil to prepare your face for a clean, smooth shave.
Moisturising
Shaving oil is especially beneficial for dry or sensitive skin as it contains many ingredients that act as a moisturiser where traditional shave creams and gels often dry out the skin. Many commercial shaving creams contain alcohol or other ingredients that are harsh on the skin, so shaving in sensitive areas such as the face, underarms and bikini area can be especially challenging for people with already sensitive skin. Face Guard oil does not contain any artificial ingredients that will cause problems with your skin, and it easily absorbs into the skin to make it even healthier as you shave.
Newer shaving oils contain many ingredients found in moisturisers, and with its scientifically formulated 3-in-1 Tri-tech anti rash system, Face Guard replaces old style shaving creams, expensive moisturisers & after-shave balms in just one easy application. Face Guard carefully cleanses your skin & softens the facial hair to prepare it for shaving. It then creates a barrier, lubricating your skin & protecting it to allow closer contact from the shaver, while active ingredients work to penetrate & moisturise, leaving your skin feeling ultra smooth.
The Tri-tech shaving technology combines a unique blend of selected ingredients including Sandalwood to soothe irritation, penetrating Avocado oil to moisturise & Menthol to leave your skin feeling fresh & the smoothest it has ever been.
Why Shaving Oils are better than Shaving Creams:
• Better gliding ability on skin
• Hairs are cut off much closer, making the skin smoother and softer
• Reduced risk of cuts or scratches
• Reduced risk of ingrown hair
• Provides a consistently smooth shaving result and soft, well-nourished skin
• Easy to use for modeling beards or moustaches because the hair is clearly visible
• You can see where you are shaving (intimate parts; nicks).
So you could say that shaving foams, shaving creams, shaving brushes, and aftershave balms are a thing of the past.
