How to use VIA for the best results
Hey there! We want to make sure your experience with our VIA shaver goes as smooth as possible (pun intended).
So we put together this helpful guideline, so you can have the best shave ever!
PRECAUTIONS
Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities. To ensure a pleasant experience, please follow these precautions:
- AVOID POTENTIAL TRIGGERS OR IRRITANTS: Between exfoliation and using your shaver, avoid hot water, harsh soaps, or exfoliating scrubs that may irritate your skin.
- AVOID IRRITATED AREAS: Do not use the shaver on areas that are already sensitive, irritated, or have open wounds, cuts, or rashes. Allow your skin to heal completely before proceeding.
BEST PRACTICES
To make sure you get the best results possible while using your VIA shaver, we suggest trying out two different techniques: dry skin and wet skin shaving.
It's all about finding what works best for you! Let's dive into the details!
STEP #1: PREPARE YOUR SKIN!
We always recommend exfoliating prior to shaving. When exfoliating, remember to choose a mild exfoliating product and avoid harsh exfoliants and scrubbing. We want to make sure your skin remains calm and comfortable, especially before using your VIA shaver. Next, use a gentle, moisturizing cleanser to remove dirt and excess oils without drying out your skin's essential moisture.
STEP #2: CHOOSE YOUR SHAVE!
DRY SHAVE: Ensure your skin is completely dry and free from oils or lotions, as these can diminish the effectiveness of the shaving process.
WET SHAVE: Your skin should be slightly damp but not overly wet. Apply a thin layer of shaving cream or a gentle soap onto your skin. This helps create a moisture barrier that reduces friction and helps the shaver get closer to your skin.
STEP #3: START THE SHAVING PROCESS!
- Start by moving the shaver up and against the grain of hair, with light pressure.
- Gradually increase pressure as needed but avoid excessive force or pressure that may cause irritation, redness, or discomfort.
- After a few strokes in an upwards motion, hold the razor vertically with the foil blade flat against your skin. Now drag the blade against the grain of the hair, holding the razor completely upright and flat on the skin as you move across your body. This will provide the closest shave possible by getting any leftover hairs.
- Continue to move your VIA shaver in slow, controlled movements to reduce the risk of ingrown hairs, skin sensitivity, and irritation.
While both dry and wet skin methods are proven for effective and comfortable results, we recognize that the wet shave method provides provides a closer shave for most of our customers.
We encourage you to experiment with both wet and dry skin methods to find the routine that best suits your skin and delivers optimal results for you!!!
AFTERCARE FOR HEALTHY SKIN
It's crucial to provide gentle care and maintenance for your skin to keep it healthy and free from any irritation!
Follow these simple steps immediately after using the VIA shaver to soothe your skin and maintain its well-being:
- GENTLE RINSE: Rinse the treated area with cool water, considering its sensitivity. Pat dry using a soft, clean towel, avoiding harsh rubbing that could irritate the skin further.
- MOISTURIZE WITH CARE: Apply a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic lotion or moisturizer designed for sensitive skin. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, chamomile, calendula, or colloidal oatmeal. Gently massage the moisturizer into your skin until fully absorbed. Reapply regularly to prevent dryness and maintain optimal hydration.
SHAVER CARE
- KEEP VIA IN PRIME CONDITION: After each use, rinse your VIA shaver under running water to remove debris, hair, or dead skin. Store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity to preserve its quality and effectiveness.
