How to Choose the Right Cream / Cómo Elegir la Adecuada
Each skin type and beard texture demands a different formula. Follow these professional barber tips to find your match:
- Dry or Sensitive / Piel seca o sensible: Opt for creams with oatmeal, aloe vera or shea butter that hydrate and soothe irritation.
- Oily / Piel grasa: Choose lightweight, non-greasy formulas that purify and prevent clogged pores.
- Coarse or Thick / Barba gruesa: Rich, creamy textures soften hair and protect the skin from nicks.
- Normal / Piel normal: Balanced blends offer hydration and smooth glide for comfort and control.

Barber Tips for a Flawless Shave / Consejos de Barbero para un Afeitado Perfecto
- Apply a hot towel for 2–3 minutes to open pores and soften hair before lathering.
- Shave with the grain first, then lightly against it for a closer finish.
- Rinse with cold water and apply an alcohol-free aftershave balm.
- Keep your blade clean and sharp — replace it every 5–7 shaves.
Consejo adicional: hidrata tu rostro diariamente y exfóliate una o dos veces por semana para evitar vellos encarnados.
