Gillette Subscribe to Smooth Challenge: Day 2
Hey beauties, as you all know I have taken up the Gillette
Subscribe to Smooth Challenge (Read the first post on the event HERE) and the “myth
testing and busting” ritual has started ;) In my previous post, you could see
how shaving did NOT make my skin dry or flaky. Today it’s time for testing
another myth to be on the testing table. Does Shaving make skin go darker or
pigmented? Read on to find what I feel (And yes, this had been my eternal
question about shaving too!)
If you remember, I had been super excited about meeting Dr. Reshmi
Shetty whose videos on dermatology issues I ABSOLUTELY love! During the event
she had answered a question by a fellow-blogger and I was relieved: Why?
Because the same question was going on in my mind since ages:
Does shaving regularly leads to skin darkening? Here’s
what she had to answer.
She said that skin darkening may occur whenever the skin faces
some wound and tries to heal it by itself. We notice darkened skin when a wound
fills up or gradually gets healed. Similarly, if we are using a razor with a
rough blade, no lubrication or trying to get a close shave by pressing down the
razor and shaving, naturally the skin gets wounded and thus may lead to
darkening. This can be avoided when we use a razor specially made to cater to a
woman’s curves and has blades which are not corrosive to the skin.
Yes girls! I know what you must be thinking. Gillette Venus razor
fits the bill ;) Its triple blades, curvy handles, aloevera and vitamin E
enriched strips beside the blades ensure that our skin remains pampered even
while shaving. Also, as mentioned in my previous post, Gillette Satin Care gel
serves as the perfect companion for Venus.
I must mention here that Myth Two is also busted pretty well
in my case. Shaving has not caused any skin darkening on me, maybe because I am
using the right razor J
So that’s
it! Shaving does NOT lead to darker skin.
I have two more myths to bust which hopefully will prove to be
myths again. But for that you would have to wait for my next posts! Till then,
try using Gillette Venus yourself and see. Check below!
