If you’re shaving regularly, you might think you’ve already got exfoliation covered. After all, razors glide across the skin and remove a little bit of buildup, right? Not exactly. While shaving may feel like it’s doing double-duty, it doesn’t actually replace the benefits of a true exfoliation routine.
Let’s break down why exfoliating is still essential—and how the right scrub (like Mi-el’s sugar scrubs) can make all the difference.
Shaving vs. Exfoliating: What’s the Difference?
-
Shaving removes hair at the surface of your skin.
-
Exfoliating removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and smooths the texture of your skin.
Even if you’re shaving weekly, you’re not removing that buildup of dead skin or addressing dullness, dryness, and ingrown hairs. Skipping exfoliation can leave your skin rough, uneven, and more prone to razor bumps.
Why Exfoliation Matters for Shavers
-
Prevents Ingrown Hairs – Exfoliating before shaving helps lift hairs away from the skin, making them easier to cut cleanly.
-
Reduces Razor Bumps – A smooth surface means fewer chances of irritation after the razor.
-
Reveals Softer Skin – Dead skin buildup can make your legs feel dull and rough, no matter how often you shave.
-
Helps Products Work Better – Lotions, oils, and serums absorb more effectively on freshly exfoliated skin.
