Getting a Clean Shave: Health Tip

Shaving without cutting yourself or missing patches of hair can be a challenge, says the American Academy of Dermatology.

To get a proper shave, the academy recommends:

• Before you shave, wet your skin and hair.
• Shave in the direction that the hair grows.
• Rinse after each swipe of the razor.
• Store your razor in a dry area.
• People who have acne should take special care while shaving.
