If you follow beauty influencers like Huda Kattan (or, you know, the Huda Beauty), then you know she and many other women in the beauty community have a rather unexpected method for keeping their skin smooth as butter for makeup application.
Yes, I'm talking about face shaving. Women have historically been expected to shave everything except for our faces, which is why the hair removal technique is rather surprising. And though plenty of women swear by plain old face razors for eliminating peach fuzz on the jawline and upper lip, others fear the side effects.
It's a common belief that once you shave your face, you risk thicker and darker regrowth. Shaving, like it does for any other body part, can cause redness and irritation when done too harshly. In order to test all these side effects and determine if they're worth it, I took the plunge and started shaving myself.
