Smooth Sailing Botanical Serum

Used daily, a 35-mL bottle should last you around 4 months.

AFTER SHAVE SERUM

After shaving, rinse face and pat dry. Put a pea-sized amount of serum on your fingertips and lightly massage onto your freshly shaven skin. 

KEY STEPS TO A CLEAN SHAVE

• Shave after you a shower so your skin is warm and moist. This helps to open up the hair follicles. If a shower or bath is not an option, use a warm compress with a wash cloth.
• Do a thorough exfoliation before shaving to remove impurities and dead skin. Not exfoliating is a main cause for ingrown hairs.
• Use a sharp razor.
• IF YOU USE A RAZOR - Shave with a sharp blade. Do not use your razor more than 5-7 times, preferably even fewer times than that. Pull the razor with the grain or diagonally across the grain. Rinse between strokes.
• IF YOU USE AN ELECTRIC RAZOR Shave with the grain.

FACE SERUM

For daily use.

Cleanse and tone. Gently massage a pea-sized amount of serum onto face and neck. Avoid the soft tissue near your eyes. 

BEARD OIL

Use daily or as needed to reduce beard acne or beard itch. New beards will use a pea-sized amount. Longer beards will use a nickel-sized amount.

Cleanse face and beard. Towel dry your beard but leave it slightly damp. Start by massaging the serum onto face and beard roots. Work across the grain and with the grain to ensure full coverage. Brush your fingers along the sides and front of your beard. Finally, from the bottom, bring fingers up and through your beard.
