Facial Focus: What skincare 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 moisturising 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 moisturising and/or nourishing care product. Moreover, as 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...
Following the shaving of the beard for example, opt for the nourishing cream Hyaluronic Acid 1% + Shea Butter. Enriched with lipid-replenishing and moisturising active ingredients, it restores suppleness to the skin and reduces feelings of tightness. If you prefer a more minimalist, fragrance-free formula, the moisturising cream with 9 ingredients will 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 gel Aloe vera & organic 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 agents that help to tighten skin tissues and reduce the appearance of cellulite.
The moisturising cream with 10 ingredients is a minimalist formula that allows hydration for all skin types, even sensitive ones. It is formulated with 99% natural origin ingredients.
