Shave only when necessary
Shave only when necessary If you're on a beach vacation you'll probably want to shave daily, but this shouldn't be your normal regimen. Shaving too often doesn't allow your skin the time it needs to recover from the harsh blade, says Debra Jaliman, M.D., board-certified NYC dermatologist, assistant professor of dermatology at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and author of Skin Rules.

Jaliman also advises her patients to shave towards the end of their shower when the hairs are hydrated. "Using warm water during your shower allows the pores to be wide open for close, clean shaves that minimize skin irritation and ingrown hairs," she says. "The steam causes pores to relax and skin to soften, allowing the blade to move seamlessly across your skin."
