Shaving your face gives you silky smooth, bright skin, makes your makeup go on smoother, and exfoliates your skin which is great for antiaging. If you want to get rid of the vellus hairs from your chin, upper lip, cheeks, and eyebrows as well as your sideburns and around your hairline, you need to learn how to shave your face and eyebrows in the right way to avoid skin irritation, razor burn, and ingrown hairs. However, if you have any active acne, cuts or rashes on your face, shaving your face can cause irritation and should be avoided.
Wash your face with a facial cleanser to makes your hair and dead skin easier to remove. Cleaning your face with a cleanser not only tightens your skin to make the roots of your hair easier to reach but also prevents skin irritation and infection. Hold a warm, damp washcloth for about 3 minutes after shaving your face to soften the hair follicles and allows the hairs to be cut more easily.
Shaving creams will preserve moisture and help the razor glide easier across your skin to avoid friction and irritation.
You can choose a disposable razor for a close, precise shave, or an electric facial trimmer for a quicker shave. Using a shaving tool designed for facial hair can optimize your results, especially when shaving smaller areas like eyebrows and the upper lip. You can try this Flawless Finishing Touch hair remover which has a hypo-allergenic 18k gold plated head. It removes all unwanted hair from your face quickly and helps products absorb into your skin better. It gives you a gorgeous glow and in turn, your fuzz is gone. Make sure the blades are shaper since dull blades will pull at your hair and lead to nicks, razor burn, and razor bumps.

The most important thing is to gently shave with the direction of your hair growth at a 45-degree angle, otherwise, ingrown hairs might follow. A 45-degree angle will allow the razor blade to grab at the root of your hair and create a clean cut without irritation. Avoid going over one spot more than 3 or 4 times as you might irritate your skin.
Wash your face with warm water and apply a moisturizing lotion after shaving to keep your face smooth and supple. Don't forget to sanitize your razor blade after each use.
