Good Skincare and Shaving Habits to Adopt as School Starts Again

Back-to-school marks the return to a busier pace and a more structured daily routine. It’s the perfect time to prepare your skin and get back into good habits, so you can start this new season feeling your best. In this article, discover our expert tips to help you ease back into your skincare and shaving routine while taking care of your skin.

We’ve selected simple yet effective solutions that can be seamlessly incorporated into your daily skincare and shaving routine, helping you establish better habits and enjoy well-cared-for skin every day.

1. Get Back into a Regular Shaving Routine

Getting back into a regular shaving routine helps restore healthier-looking skin and a more comfortable shave, especially after a period of taking things a little easier. By adopting consistent habits and using the right products, your skin becomes accustomed to a well-established ritual, helping to reduce irritation, redness and discomfort. A well-defined routine also improves shaving precision, supports good grooming habits and saves time every day. As you get back into your routine, it helps maintain a well-groomed, polished appearance that fits seamlessly into a more structured daily rhythm.

2. Prepare Your Skin Before Every Shave

In the morning, after your shower, your skin is particularly well prepared for shaving. The warmth of the water helps open the pores and soften the hair, making it easier for the blade to glide over the skin. To prepare your skin effectively, we recommend using a shaving brush: it helps lift the hairs, coat them with the shaving product and optimise contact with the blade. If you use a shaving cream, you can also work it in with your hands to distribute the product evenly and position the hairs in the direction that is most favourable for shaving.

3. Choose Accessories That Suit Your Needs

It is important to listen to your skin and choose shaving accessories that are right for you. If you shave more regularly, you can opt for a razor with a Mach3 or Fusion head. The latter features 5 blades, offering particular comfort for sensitive skin. The Mach3 model has 3 blades and is better suited to those with less sensitive skin who are already accustomed to this type of razor. We also offer safety razors with either an open or closed comb. The closed comb provides an effective and controlled shave, making it particularly suitable for those new to safety razors.

Choosing the right shaving brush is equally important, as the appropriate brush hair grade should be selected according to your skin type. The darker the hair, the firmer it tends to be. If you have sensitive skin, for example, we recommend opting for a White High Mountain knot. Discover our article dedicated to the different brush hair grades used in our shaving brushes.

4. Purify Your Skin

Protecting your skin from daily aggressors such as pollution and impurities is essential to maintaining its balance and overall health. To do so, choose natural, gentle products that respect your skin. An exfoliating scrub, such as the one offered by Plisson, helps deeply remove impurities and eliminate dead skin cells, leaving the skin looking cleaner, smoother and more radiant.

As a complement, a daily facial cleansing gel used every evening provides effective daily cleansing. It purifies the skin, removes impurities and residue accumulated throughout the day, and prepares the face for moisturising treatments, helping to maintain healthier, more comfortable skin every day

5. Hydrate Your Skin

After cleansing your skin, it is essential to move on to the hydration step. Well-hydrated skin remains supple, comfortable and better protected against external aggressors. Maison Plisson offers a moisturising fluid formulated with natural ingredients, making it ideal for incorporating into your daily routine. Used regularly, it deeply nourishes the skin, helps prevent dryness and supports the health and natural radiance of your skin every day.

You can also choose to incorporate an eye contour treatment into your hydration routine. Developed by Maison Plisson, it soothes and deeply hydrates the delicate eye area thanks to its combination of natural ingredients.

For more mature skin, we have developed a perfect anti-ageing cream, a true revitalising cocktail for the skin. Natural ingredients such as Rhodella Violacea algae and Houseleek extract are combined with Hyaluronic Acid, giving this anti-ageing cream a powerful firming effect on the skin.

Don’t overlook hydration after shaving. Discover our aftershave balms. We have developed a natural aftershave balm for all bearded men who shave and want to maintain perfectly cared-for skin after shaving. Maison Plisson has also thought of those who shave their heads and developed a formula specially designed for post-shave scalp care. Discover the aftershave balm for the scalp.

Good habits can sometimes be the hardest to adopt. But once they become part of your routine, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without them, as they naturally become part of your daily life. That’s exactly what Maison Plisson offers: simple daily rituals, complemented by high-quality products, to help you enjoy beautifully cared-for skin every day.
