If you shave more or less often, adjust this timing accordingly to prevent irritation or ingrown hairs from using old or dull blades.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766159296822\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What should you do before shaving your bikini line at home?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Soak the skin for a couple of minutes to hydrate and soften the hairs. Wet hair cuts more easily and with less friction, so a short soak in the shower helps you get a smoother shave with less irritation.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766159296823\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is shower gel or shaving foam better for shaving sensitive areas?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Shaving foam is better than shower gel because it is designed to lubricate the skin and reduce friction. Shower gel might dry out the skin and make hairs more difficult to shave, increasing the risk of irritation.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766159296824\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">How can you help prevent ingrown hairs when shaving?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Lightly exfoliate the area with an exfoliating mitt or gentle scrub before shaving. Exfoliating a couple of times a week removes dead skin and can reduce the risk of ingrown hairs.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766159296825\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Should you shave against the direction of hair growth?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Shaving in the same direction as hair growth helps minimise irritation, even if it gives a slightly less close shave. If your razor is sharp, you shouldn\u2019t need to go over the same area multiple times.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766159296826\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What should you do after shaving to avoid irritation?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Rinse the shaved area with cool water and gently pat it dry.
