This post is going to be about face shaving.

Over the past few months, I've seen an influx of blog posts, YouTube videos and Instagram tutorials about face shaving. Naturally I was curious, but also had serious doubts as to whether I could trust myself with a razor. I've thought about it (rather extensively), and read up more on the topic and decided that I wanted to try it myself. I'm not 'adult' enough to try this with an actual razor. So I went to Srina Palace and found this packet of Tinkle razors which are supposed to be for brows. You get a pack of 3 razors for Rs. 180.

I do this on weekends, since I prefer not applying makeup after I do this. I strongly suggest that you don't do it either.

Since this is a dry razor, I begin with a fresh face. This means I wash and dry my face with a towel beforehand. Then I start shaving by placing the razor at an angle, and by using short downward strokes in the direction my hair grows. It's really important to be patient during this process unless you want razor cuts. I remember being a know-it-all in my second try and being too quick for my own good, which resulted in me scraping my chin with the razor. Once you're done make sure you wash your face, pat it dry, and apply some moisturiser, and let your skin breathe for the rest of the day/ night. 

What I've noticed after face shaving:

·        My skin was exfoliated and it added light to my face.

·        The skin care and makeup products I applied went on more smoothly.

·        As a beauty blogger, I noticed that my photos don't highlight the peach fuzz I would usually have. 

·        I did not notice my hair growing back thicker which was an initial concern going into this.

Apart from face shaving, I kept one of these in my handbag when I wore dresses during April holidays. Not to sound too high-maintenance but I find it rather annoying to have a clean shave (with Veet) and then find one hair sticking out on my leg. Ugh, there's nothing more frustrating than patting yourself in the back for a good job, and then finding that one hair. You know what I mean? 

Anyway, when it comes to sanitation, I think it's best to throw these away after using these once. You'll notice a lot of debris on the blade after use, and even if you do clean it, it won't do you any favours to use it for a second time, especially on the face where the skin can be easily irritated.

I reckon you won't be disappointed with keeping a packet of these. It sure has come in handy in my case.

However, remember that if you do this, you do it for yourself and not because you're guilt-tripped or shamed into doing this. It's not a mandatory beauty practice.

At the end of the day, you are still beautiful, because as corny as this may sound, your heart is beautiful.You are still you!
