What Is Facial Hair Shaving—and Why Is It Gaining Popularity?

Facial shaving is a method of using a special knife to remove the thin layer of hair on the face. This method is very popular in Japan and Korea because it helps the skin to be brighter, smoother and easier to apply makeup. Recently, many Vietnamese people have also started to apply it. However, before deciding whether to shave your face, you need to understand both the benefits and risks of this method.

Benefits of Facial Shaving

Many people wonder whether they should shave their face, but in fact, this method brings many benefits to the skin if done correctly. Here are the reasons why facial shaving is increasingly popular:

Helps brighten and even out skin tone: Although fine hairs can make the skin look dull. When removed, the skin will be noticeably brighter and more even-toned.
Supports smooth makeup: The makeup base will be more even, smoother and longer-lasting when there is no hair in the way.
Gently exfoliates: The shaving process also helps remove dead skin cells on the skin’s surface, helping to better absorb nutrients.
Smooth skin to the touch: After shaving, the skin will feel noticeably softer and smoother.

Risks of shaving your face incorrectly

Shaving your face can bring many benefits, but if done incorrectly, you can easily encounter the following problems:

Skin is easily irritated, rashes: Using an unsanitary razor or using it too hard can cause scratches, redness, and even inflammation.
Hair grows back thicker and harder: Hair does not grow thicker but is only cut across, making the hair tip look harder and darker. However, this is still something that makes many people hesitate about whether or not to shave their face.
Sensitive skin is prone to acne: If your skin is inflamed or too sensitive, shaving can cause bacteria to spread, making the acne worse.

So should you shave your face?

The answer depends on your skin condition, beauty goals and shaving technique. With healthy skin, shaving with the right technique can bring positive results. However, if you have acne-prone, easily irritated skin, it is recommended to avoid shaving your face, or only do it at reputable facilities such as HIBO Clinic, where dermatologists monitor and support.

Instructions for shaving your face properly

To minimize risks and achieve the best results, you should shave your face according to the following steps:

Use a specialized and sterile razor: Choose a razor specifically for the face, make sure it has been thoroughly sterilized before use.
Cleanse your skin before and after shaving: Wash your face with a mild cleanser before shaving and clean it again after shaving to avoid dirt and bacteria that cause inflammation.
Apply shaving gel or cream to reduce friction: Use a layer of gel or lotion to help the razor glide smoothly, avoiding damaging the skin surface.
Shave in the direction of hair growth: Use gentle movements, do not press hard. Shave in the direction of natural hair growth to limit irritation.
Moisturize after shaving: Immediately after shaving, apply a mild moisturizer to soothe the skin and restore the protective barrier.
