If you shave weekly, you might think, “Aren’t I already exfoliating when the razor scrapes away dead skin?”
Technically… yes. But here’s the thing: shaving alone is not enough to keep your skin truly smooth, clear, and bump-free.
Exfoliation is still a must—and here’s why.
Shaving ≠ Real Exfoliation
While your razor does remove some dead skin cells along with hair, it’s not as thorough (or as gentle) as a dedicated exfoliating product. Think of shaving as a quick tidy-up, but exfoliation as a deep clean.
If you skip exfoliation, you’re more likely to end up with:
-
Ingrown hairs
-
Bumps and rough patches
-
Dull-looking skin (even right after shaving!)
The Power of a Pre-Shave Scrub
Using an exfoliating body scrub—like the one in the Mi-el Smooth Shaving Bundle—before you shave helps:
-
Lift dead skin cells so your razor can get closer to the root.
-
Prevent ingrown hairs by clearing clogged pores and freeing trapped hairs.
-
Boost smoothness so your skin stays silky longer.
It’s like clearing the path before mowing the lawn—you’ll get a way better result.
How to Exfoliate the Right Way
-
Use the Mi-el scrub 1–2 times a week (and right before shaving).
-
Apply in gentle, circular motions—especially on areas prone to bumps like the bikini line or underarms.
-
Don’t overdo it. Too much scrubbing can irritate the skin, especially if you’re shaving regularly.
The Shaving Bundle Routine That Wins Every Time
-
Exfoliate with the Mi-el scrub to prep skin and lift hairs.
-
Shave with a fresh razor and the bundle’s nourishing oil for glide.
-
Soothe & protect with the bump-preventing cream to keep skin soft and clear.
The Bottom Line
Even if you shave every week, your skin still needs a dedicated exfoliation step to stay healthy, smooth, and radiant.
When you pair exfoliation with Mi-el’s Smooth Shaving Bundle, you’re giving your skin the full care it deserves.
