Men, achieving the perfect shave may sometimes seem unachievable. We put together a kit full of Eminence products for all men. Whether you prefer a beard or clean shave these products will make your prep & shave an enjoyable process. Read on for a few tips and tricks for the perfect shave.

The Prep

Avoiding and preventing post-shave bumps and ingrown hairs is the goal to a good clean shave. First things first, a good cleanse. We chose the Eminence Coconut Milk Cleanser for this kit for its moisturizing and nourishing properties. The coconut milk and water in this cleanser aids in nourishing and toning the skin for youthful, supple skin.

This VERY important step is a must in this process… EXFOLIATION. Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells in order to leave behind smoother skin cells. Dead skin cells clog your hair follicles and trap your hair under the skin, which results in ingrown hairs. The Stone Crop Oxygenation Fizzofoliant is a rice-based exfoliant that will assist in removing dead skin to ensure the hair follicle is in the best condition for hair removal and allow normal post shave hair growth.

The Shave 

A sharp razor is a must have! Whether you use a disposable razor or a safety razor, just take sure its sharp. A dull blade can be traumatic to your skin causing razor burn and itchiness. Make sure you are taking it easy and that the blade is smoothly gliding on your face.

The After Shave 

The last step in perfecting this art is to make sure cold water is used to rinse. Applying moisture and hydration after rinsing will help “close your pores and trap water in your skin” as stated in an article from the American Academy Of Dermatology. We added the Eminence Stone Crop Hydrating Gel due to the hydrating benefits of the stone crop juice and to protect against skin cell damage that will come from the green tea ingredient in this powerhouse serum.

For men who are more susceptible to ingrown hairs, the Facial Recovery Oil is going to be your accomplice in the elimination of those pesky ingrowns. This is another great after-shave product that contains a blend of Biodynamic herbs, as well as the antibacterial characteristics of the tea tree oil to balance the complexion.
