There are also actual health concerns to manscaping yourself, says dermatologist Evan Rieder, MD. Most of these issues come from improper technique and using the wrong tools. Here are the 7 must-follow tips to manscape your body safely and effectively, as well as the proper tools to get the job done right. It should go without saying, but shaving slowly is especially important when you go down below.
If you are going to use a razor, Janczyn recommends a two-blade razor. Fewer blades mean less irritation and fewer cuts. It still gives you the close shave you need, but is more gentle on your junk or anywhere else than versions with more blades.
The most important part of manscaping, according to Rieder, is cleanliness. Always shower before attempting to manscape. It will not only help soften the hairs and make them easier to cut, but it also helps get rid of bacteria that may be lurking on the skin especially in areas like your groin or your pits. Then, before you set in to mow the lawn, wash your hands again.
We have different bacteria on our body than we do on our face, so keeping blades separate can help prevent spreading things like jock itch and even staph. Using a disposable razor for your body is a good way to minimize the risk of contamination. He recommends laying a towel down on the floor and standing in front of your bathroom mirror. Make sure you have good lighting. Before you start, relax—rushing through it will not help. Look for a clipper specifically designed for delicate areas, like the Manscaped Lawn Mower 2.
The same rules apply to shaving your body as shaving your face. Honestly, this is a positive development: Scruff looks good. And some guys' hair texture simply won't let them shave every day comfortably.
But on a big day, or when you just feel like getting extra-clean, there's no substitute for a close shave for a lot of guys. And no, we don't mean the kind of shave you can get with an electric razor. Giving your face a warm wash with a gentle cleanser will remove any excess oil and grime, so that you can shave with a clean canvas. The warm water also opens your pores, which essentially allows them to breathe more easily and expunge anything trapped inside and helps prevent razor bumps and ingrown hairs.
A physical scrub will lift dead skin cells away from the skin, preventing razor drag and clogged pores. A pre-shave oil creates an invisible protective layer over top the skin, helping the razor glide smoothly over the skin. This layer also helps soften whiskers and nurture the skin.
When you apply your shave cream, do so in an upward motion, so as to lift the hairs up and away from the face. This results in a smoother, more precise shave overall. When you shave, be sure to go in the direction that your hair moves. That is to say, shave in the direction that you can run your hand over it smoothly, instead of feeling the friction of resistance. If you shave forward, you reduce your chances of ingrown hairs and red bumps due to trapped hairs furled under the surface of the skin.
Rinse the blade with warm water between strokes, to minimize friction and drag.
