How relevant are pre-shaving oils for the head?

1. How relevant are pre-shaving oils for the head? While there are a lot of shaving products out there in the open for men, there’s this one product that stands out among the rest and is severely underrated. We are talking about pre shave oil. Most men, when using a razor, will go for the lathering phase before shaving, but adding a few minutes to it all and including a reputed pre shaving oil into your head shaving regime, can be a big game changer. Luckily, such products can be used by men with sensitive skin, as well as those who are looking for better skincare. Here’s a brief lowdown on why we think every head shaving kit should include a pre shaving oil, and how you should apply it. What is a pre shave oil? Oil was always a part of men’s shaving rituals, as far as we can remember, but it was originally used after the shaving was complete, chiefly to soothe the skin or as a perfume. But over the years, that has changed! The use of oil as something to use before the shave, is a recent phenomenon, something that gained popularity only in the 1990s. Most renowned pre shave oils contain all-natural ingredients. However, you would also find many non-natural, less-effective products made from synthetic ingredients, but we’d urge you to stay away from those. The natural ingredients found in pre shave oils are beneficial to the skin in many different ways. While things as Castor Oil are great for men with dry skin as it comes with moisturizing qualities, sunflower oil is great for people who complain about oily skin tone. Some of the other natural ingredients available in such oils include coconut, almond, olive, and more. Why use pre shave oils? We could talk all day about the many benefits of pre shave oils, but why it is still one of the most underrated head shaving products, continues to baffle us. Most men have sensitive skin and thus, shaving your head can lead to inflammation and irritation. This is where a pre shave oil shines! It is definitely a must-own for all who have a dry or sensitive skin type. The natural oils in the product soften sensitive skin and also lubricates the skin. In fact, it effectively acts as a buffer between the razor and the skin, allowing the razor to glide over the skin and leading to cleaner results. Pre shaving oils in any head shaving kit are usually rich in vital vitamins needed for the rejuvenation of the skin. In fact, some of the oils are rich in Vitamin E that carries a myriad of benefits such as it acts as an anti-oxidant, is great for dealing with inflammations, and even moisturizes the skin. How should pre shave oils be applied? As the name implies, pre shave oils should be used before applying your shaving cream. At Groomie, our pre shave oil is designed to lubricate your skin, smoothen the skin, and adding a moisturized feel. Put a few drops (4-6 drops) of oil into the palm of your hands, rub the hands together to warm the oil a bit, and then gently massage it onto your head. The oil would automatically permeate into the skin and be absorbed. Wait 30 seconds for the oil to do its trick, and then you can happily carry on your head shaving regime.
