Shaving seems simple—until you’re left with razor burn, itchy bumps, or skin that’s begging for a break. So how often should you really shave? The truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Your ideal shave schedule depends on your skin type, hair texture, and how you care for your skin before and after.
Let’s break it down—and help you find the sweet spot between baby-smooth and over-shaved.
First, What Happens When You Shave Too Much?
If you’re shaving every day or too frequently for your skin, you might notice:
-
Redness or irritation
-
Razor bumps or ingrown hairs
-
Dry, tight, or itchy skin
-
A damaged skin barrier (especially on the bikini line)
That’s why it’s just as important how often you shave as how you do it. And spoiler: Mi-el’s Smooth Shaving Bundle makes both easier.
How Often to Shave (By Skin Type)
🧴 Sensitive Skin
Shave every 3–4 days
Give your skin time to recover between shaves. Use a gentle exfoliant first to prevent ingrowns, then apply a soothing oil and cream afterward.
Try this Mi-el routine:
-
Step 1: Bump-Free Exfoliating Scrub
-
Step 2: Beekini Oil to protect and soften skin
-
Step 3: Bump Bee Gone Glycolic Cream to prevent bumps & calm irritation
💧 Dry Skin
Shave every 4–5 days, or weekly
Dry skin is more prone to flaking and razor burn. Always exfoliate gently before shaving and follow with hydrating post-shave care.
Mi-el tip: Use warm (not hot) water and finish with our oil + cream duo to lock in moisture.
✨ Normal/Combination Skin
Shave every 2–4 days
You’ve got some flexibility! Just make sure to prep skin and follow a proper post-shave routine to keep bumps and redness at bay.
Bundle tip: The glycolic cream helps gently exfoliate between shaves, keeping skin smooth longer.
🛡 Oily or Acne-Prone Skin
Shave every 2–3 days
Oil buildup and clogged pores can lead to bumps if not managed properly. Use Mi-El’s scrub to lift dead skin cells before shaving.
Pro tip: Don’t skip moisturizing. The oil and glycolic cream help balance your skin without clogging pores.
Not About Skin Type? Base It on Hair Texture
-
Thicker hair → Might need more frequent shaves, but don’t rush it—prepping with oil makes a huge difference.
-
Fine hair → Can often go longer between shaves. Focus on exfoliation and hydration.
-
Coarse or curly hair → Most prone to ingrown hairs—exfoliate consistently and shave every 3–5 days for best results.
The Bottom Line
Shaving too often—or not prepping properly—can cause more harm than good. Whether you’re a daily shaver or once-a-week type, the right products make all the difference.
Mi-el’s Smooth Shaving Bundle was designed to work with your skin, not against it. So no matter your skin type, you can shave smart, glow smooth, and skip the bumps.
