“While I always recommend laser hair removal for hair reduction, face shaving is an easy, painless, and affordable way to get rid of facial hair,” she wrote in an Instagram post. The expert led the following five tips you should keep in mind when shaving your face.

*Use a shaving gel or a creamy cleanser to dampen the area you want to shave for easier shaving. And, always start with a fresh new blade.
