Before shaving, I always press a hot towel against my face for two minutes to soften abrasive beard hair. Then I slather on a moisturizer and let it soak in for a minute. You can rinse it off or keep it on and apply shaving cream over it, preferably with a brush, which softens the beard as it lifts the whiskers, making hair removal easier.
Then I rinse the razor and shake off any excess water before starting. Afterwards splash cool water on the face to remove any trace of lather. You should use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol. Never, ever use cologne on your face since the alcohol content will dry your skin out and make you look older.
Applying a moisturizer is the final step. If the face seems dry and flaky, which can make it look dull and older, use a clarifying lotion that removes flakes and uncovers fine skin. Then apply anti-aging eye balm.
