Don't shave early in the morning. Give your skin a chance to wake up. Fluid build up in the night will make your skin puffy and your shave will not be as close.

The shower or bath is the best place to shave. The steamy environment will open up pores and help to soften hairs, making shaving easier.

Cleanse and exfoliate the area before shaving with Cariad Scrub-her Exfoliator.

Ensure you have a clean sharp blade and shave using short strokes. It's key to shave in the direction of your hairs' growth If you are at all unsure, run your finger across your stubble to see which direction the hair is growing. Shaving against the direction of hair growth is the primary cause of razor burn, redness and rashes.

Rinse the blade regularly as you shave and don't press to hard against the skin.

Apply a post shave product such as Cariad Love-Her Post Shave Moisturiser to leave your skin feeling smooth, supple and soft - not tight and dry!

Shaving Cuts - If you cut yourself shaving apply pressure with a tissue to stem the bleeding. If you cut yourself while in the bath get out immediately as hot water increases blood flow.

Ingrown Hairs - If you suffer from ingrown hairs apply a hot compress on to the area. Do this twice a day and the skin will soften and encourage the hair out.

Razor Rash - If you suffer from an irritating and ugly post shaving rash try soothing it with an Cariad Love-Her, which includes Aloe Vera.
