Inorder to nurture your skin and keep them soft we advise you to soften it in the shower for about 10 minutes. Then apply shaving cream or even conditioner. Do not use soap as this will dull the razor and invite cuts. Shave in long strokes. After the shower nourish your skin with body loion.

Bad Habit No. 2

Walking in the sun – We generally tend to ignore the incidental sun exposure ie, the exposure when we walk from the car to the office or to the shopping mall.
