When it comes to shaving, making hair is hydrated properly beforehand is key to make it easier to cut. Goosebumps also create an uneven surface, which makes it more difficult to get a smooth shave. The ideal amount of time to let hair soak up water and let your skin warm up before shaving is 5 minutes, but 1-2 minutes should be sufficient if you’re in a hurry.

When every minute counts, multitasking products can make all the difference – especially ones that can help skin stay soft through the winter elements. Reach for a razor that gives you a close shave. Even with your best moves in the shower, you discover missed patches of hair at the most inopportune times. Now there’s a high-design razor that moves as much as you do. Unlike traditional razors that move only two ways, Venus Swirl™ with FLEXIBALL™ moves in multiple directions, navigating tricky areas and contouring significantly better on knees and ankles to capture virtually every hair for a flawless shave! 
 

A spray tan or self-tanning lotion is a quick and easy way to get glowing when the sun is nowhere in sight! Shaving with a razor like Venus Swirl right before you apply self-tanner or get a spray tan can help because it gently exfoliates the skin and you want the surface to be as even as possible to avoid streaks or dark patches.

Add these simple tips, and a good dose of moisturizer, to your beauty routine and your skin will be beautiful even in the middle of the harsh winter months!
