So, whether you have curly hair that is prone to ingrowing or the occasional pimple, here are some dermatologists’ tips that can help give you a clean shave:

  • Before shaving, soften the hairs Wetting the face thoroughly with lukewarm water can help soften the hairs.

  • Experiment Try shaving with electric and safety razors to see which works best for you.

  • Make sure the blade is sharp This helps prevents nicks from a safety razor, which can irritate the skin and lead to breakouts.
