Among many other hair removal methods, the most common method which can be performed at home is shaving. The only drawback of this method is that, it has to be done very often, as in this method the hair grows fast. It mainly happens because unlike other methods, you do not extract the unwanted hairs of your body, but instead you cut them close to their follicles. It instantly gives good results by making the skin look clear and smooth, but in many cases due to the lack of key factors of perfect shave, you can find black dots in the hair follicles of your skin. These black dots are mostly seen on your legs. However, these black dots can be removed by following some prefect shaving instructions. You just have to get some good tips and modify your regular shaving routine.
The regular moisturizing
You can regularly moisturize your shaved skin. Use a good quality moisturizing cream and apply it daily on the shaved skin before you go to bed. This helps proper growth of hair from its follicle further eliminating the visibility of black dots after shaving. The daily moisturizing of your skin also helps your skin to look more smooth and clear.
Moisten your hair just before shaving
Do not ever apply razor on a dry skin, it makes it look worse after shaving. This is the main reason of the visibility of the black dots on your skin. It is always better to moist your hair one or two minutes before you shave. This makes the hair more flexible, which helps the razor to shave it away more clearly. Never soak your skin for longer period as this will make your skin bloat, further creating problems for the razor to provide a clear shave without any black dots.
Shaving creams and gels
Use of shaving creams and gels also give your skin a clean shave. They make you hair soft and avoid any bruises and cuts which can scar your skin. However, you need to make sure that you do not apply any menthol or mint products as they may precisely cause irritation in your skin.
Use a fresh razor with fresh blades.
This is one of the most important shaving factors to get clearer shave without any black dots. A razor with a lubricating strip will add on to a smoother and clear shave. Never do shaving with an old and blunt razor blade, as this does not cut the hairs away but in fact forces them out, causing the skin to bleed. It is always better to use a razor which has multiple layers of blades. This multiple bladed razor gives more fine and smooth shave, as it can cut the hairs more closely.
Use cold water while shaving.
For a better shave without any black dots, the use of cold water is highly recommended, as cold water makes your hair erect to allow the razor cut it more closely and easily.
The other methods
If the proper shaving methods do not help much, you can always opt for other effective methods of hair removal. These methods have more durable results and do not produce any black dots on your skin. These methods are waxing, threading, plucking, laser treatments, sugaring and electrolysis.
