    FACE

    When cleansing your face, use warm water (not hot) to wash to help minimise dryness. Doing this last in the shower will also mean your face is damp for shaving, which helps give smoother results

    SHAVING

    The steam from a shower can help to soften facial hair, so it’s easier for your razor to cut through stubble

  • 5
    POST-SHAVE

    Reduce the chances of shaving rash by applying post-shave balm after your shower. It will help to keep skin smooth and comfortable

  • 6
    DEODORANT

    Waiting until your body has cooled down after a shower before applying antiperspirant deodorant will help it perform to its best potential. Hot showers open skin’s pores, making it less receptive to any antiperspirant applied afterwards
