6. Forgetting to Moisturize

Wiping down your skin post shave or wax is simply not enough — it’s important to follow a shave with a soothing solution to keep the surface soft and hydrated. Most products aim to lock in the moisture and leave you with a fresh scent, but choose wisely: aftershave with alcohol is actually very drying, and some moisturizers are more irritating than moisturizing.

Lotion or balm is usually the way to go, and steer clear of fragrance or other “helpful” additives that can effectively increase your risk of ingrown hair and pimples.
