Do so and you'll find solutions for some of the most common shaving challenges.

The Challenge: Nicks & Cuts

The Solutions:

• Spend more time warming your skin before shaving. Shave right after a hot shower and make sure to splash some warm water on your skin throughout the process.
• Gentlemen, Prior to a shave gel or cream, apply a pre shave oil. This will help your facial hairs stand at attention and also give your razor some extra "slip."

The Challenge: Missed Shaving Spots

The Solutions:

The Challenge: Ultra-Sensitive Skin

The Solutions:

• Make sure to stay loyal to a solid daily skin care regimen. Doing this will have a positive effect on your daily shave.
• Men, Don't rub your face with a towel pre or post shave. Instead, get in touch with your feminine side and pat your skin. Also, don't touch your face too much right after shaving as your fingers might pass along some bacteria.

Please note that all products and tips are great for sensitive skin.

1. You should shave immediately after exiting the shower, but while in the shower, make sure to cleanse and/or exfoliate your skin to remove dirt and debris. Once the shower is complete, thoroughly wet your face with warm water. The steam and water will soften the skin.
   
   
2. Massage a shave oil or crème into the area to be shaved (a shaving brush can help). For best results, cocktail the two on top of one another. Give your shave product(s) about 30 seconds to sink in and reactivate if necessary with water.
   
   
3. Using a clean, multi- bladed razor, begin shaving with the grain of hair growth (usually downward). Use short strokes, rinsing the blade often. Men - Shave the "easy areas" first (cheeks), while leaving the neck, chin and upper lip for last. This will allow these tuff areas more time to soften up.
   
   
   • Use your free hand to stretch your skin, creating a smooth surface for the razor.
   • Only go against or across the grain at the end to get stubborn hairs. Shaving across the grain may be a better option and ultimately less irritating to your skin. No slicing motions though.
     
     
4. Rinse your skin thoroughly with cool water to cleanse the skin and close the pores. If needed, pat dry with a soft towel.
