Facial Focus: What skincare routines should be adopted after shaving?
During shaving,the hydrolipidic film present on the skin's surface, composed of water and fat, is disrupted. Without compensation from a moisturizing product, the skin becomes dry. This is why one should never shave dry and should use a foam or gel during shaving. After shaving, don't forget to apply a moisturizing and/or nourishing care product. Moreover, since the horny layer is thinner, it's the ideal time to provide the skin with active ingredients and nutrients that will be more easily absorbed, such as nourishing, firming, slimming treatments, etc...
After shaving your beard, for example, opt for the nourishing creamcontaining 1% Hyaluronic Acid + Shea Butter. Enriched with lipid-replenishing and moisturizing active ingredients, it restores suppleness to the skin and reduces feelings of tightness. If you prefer a more minimalist, fragrance-free formula, the moisturizing cream with 9 ingredients may be more suitable. Its light and non-greasy texture is suitable for dry, normal, and combination skin, even sensitive ones.

Just as on the face, shaving also disrupts the hydrolipidic film present all over the body. The shaved areas are generally larger than on the face; they are therefore more prone to micro-lesions and cuts. To soothe the burn of shaving, start by applying a cool gel like our hydrating gelmade with organic Aloe vera & orange blossom. It will immediately cool the affected areas.
Subsequently, to restore the hydrolipidic film, you can apply one of our body creams:
The nourishing cream Squalane 10% + Shea Butter is enriched with nourishing active ingredients. It restores the skin's lipid barrier, reduces feelings of tightness, and protects the skin from external aggressions.
The firming cream Caffeine 2% + Guarana extract contains firming active ingredients that help to tighten skin tissues and reduce the appearance of cellulite.
The moisturizing cream with 10 ingredients is a minimalist formula that allows for hydration of all skin types, even sensitive ones. It is formulated with 99% natural origin ingredients.
