I’m a shaving pro – 3 mistakes which are making your skin itch, including your choice of shaving cream

ITCHINESS after shaving is a common occurrence which can lead to irritation and discomfort.

There are some simple steps you can take to make your shaving routine go smoothly.

Razor company Estrid took to TikTok to share three tips to shaving without irritating your skin.

The first tip related to the type of shaving cream you use on your skin.

“Make sure you’re not using shaving cream or conditioner that’s got fragrance in it, because it’s very common to have a fragrance allergic reaction,” the shaving expert warned viewers.

She continued: “Tip two, make sure you are changing your razor head. You need to be changing it every five to 10 shaves.”

This allows for a clean shave with a sharp blade, meaning your hair will come off easily and pain-free.

The expert’s final tip was simply to moisturize after shaving so as to prevent your skin from drying out and becoming irritated.

The razor specialists recommend applying moisturizer to your skin immediately after shaving.

Estrid fans took to the comments section to share their appreciation for the easy tips.

“Wish I saw this yesterday,” wrote one user.

Another person said: “Me watching this when I just used fragrance shaving cream and I’m sat here struggling and uncomfortable.”

“I use an electric shaver and then moisturize,” said another follower.
