How to prevent razor burn.

Scraping steel against your face on the regular? Here’s how to do it without dealing with any damage.

The breakdown

01

First, wash your face

Washing your face before shaving will clear the dirt and dead skin that’s lodged in your pores—a leading cause of ingrown hairs and razor burn.
02

Shave with the grain

Shaving against the grain will cause your facial hair to regrow in weird ways—like curled into your skin (hello, ingrown) creating painful razor bumps.
03

Use a toner

Follow your shave with an exfoliating toner. This will soothe your skin and keep your pores clear of anything that might cause an ingrown.
