The path to soft skin: peeling before or after shaving?

Whether regularly or just occasionally, shaving is part of the beauty routine for men, and many women too. Exfoliating is also part of the basic routine to remove dead skin cells and prepare the skin for subsequent care. But did you know that exfoliating can also have a positive effect on shaving? Proper care is crucial to ensure everything goes smoothly during shaving—and afterward. Do you prefer waxing or epilating annoying stubble? Our smart guide applies to every type of hair removal. And best of all: Exfoliating is not only good for your skin, but also for your sense of well-being.

Clarifying and relaxing – peeling before or after shaving?

Exfoliation removes dead skin cells from the surface of your skin. Your skin renews itself approximately every 30 days, which is faster than many other cells in the body.

As new cells grow, the old ones must be shed. These accumulate as flakes on the skin. While the skin naturally rids itself of these cells, sometimes it needs support.

When old skin cells mix with excess sebum, pores can become clogged. A scrub helps clarify the skin and optimally prepare it for shaving . It ensures a fresh, even complexion and a pleasant feeling after use.

Peeling before or after shaving – which is better?

When it comes to exfoliation, the timing is crucial – and that is before shaving, epilating or waxing .

After exfoliation, the skin not only appears rosier but also smoother . This makes shaving significantly easier.

Dry, uneven skin makes it difficult for the razor to glide smoothly, making it easier to cause minor cuts. On the other hand, smooth skin allows the razor to reach the hair more easily, resulting in a more thorough shave.

Enzyme Cleanser & Peeling

What are the benefits of peeling?

In addition to preparing for shaving, exfoliation has other benefits:

  • It removes dead skin cells.
  • It reduces excess sebum.
  • It can clear clogged pores.
  • The skin then appears smoother, rosier and fresher.
  • It optimally prepares the skin for further care steps.

How does the pre-shave peeling work?

Whether you want to exfoliate your face, arms, armpits, legs or intimate area – make sure you use a gentle exfoliation .

The ENZYME CLEANSER & PEELING from SKINUANCE® combines cleansing and exfoliation in one step. Fine cellulose particles, enzymes, and vitamin C help remove excess sebum, dead skin cells, dirt, and makeup residue. Skin feels deeply clean, soft, and smooth. It's perfectly prepared for shaving, epilation, or waxing.

Of course, exfoliating after shaving is also possible. However, afterward, the skin needs a soothing treatment that protects and calms it. Even a gentle shave can stress the skin and cause mild irritation.

The FRUIT ACID CREAM is ideal for prepping for shaving. It's a gentle skin refiner, especially for blemished or calloused skin. Its exfoliating effect acts like a scrub, preparing the skin for skincare products.

It's best used the evening before shaving. The cream works overnight. It supports skin regeneration and can reduce the appearance of irritation, redness, and blemishes. Always apply sunscreen the next day after sun exposure.
