Wash
Use Somersets Anti-bacterial Face Wash every day before you shave. Not only will it get your skin squeaky clean, but it'll smooth the way for a really close shave.
Avoiding Spots
And Blemishes
You've got a special event coming up and you want to make an impression with silky smooth skin. Then suddenly, there they are, spots and razor rash make an appearance at the worst possible time.
Somersets skincare regime helps prevent breakouts and we've even thrown in some extra tips below to keep your skin healthy and glowing.
This may come as a surprise, but men's skin is more delicate than women's. It's generally oilier, so more susceptible to spots and blemishes. This can be aggravated by regular shaving which destroys the hydrolipidic film that maintains the skin's balance. Somersets Men's Range is specially formulated with these differences in mind.
For women, our new products out for 2027 will be specially formulated for pre and post shave to ensure perfect results and smooth balanced skin tone with no bumps or rashes.
Avoid Irritation
You don't need us to tell you that shaving sensitises the skin so it's important to use the right product for you. Somersets Extra Sensitive Shaving Oil or our friction-free Extra Sensitive Shaving Gel won't irritate. And it's best to avoid foam if you're prone to skin problems.
Moisturise
This is really important and not just because it leaves your skin supple. After shaving, you're more vulnerable to sunburn so Somersets moisturiser contains sunscreens to protect against UVA and UVB rays.
Eat Right
You won't have to cut out all the foods you really love. After all, we all want to enjoy life. It's simply about getting the balance right. We all know about 'five a day' fruit and veg, and foods, good or bad, have a visible effect on our skin.
Exercise
Our lives are more sedentary than at any time in history, and that not only means putting on weight. It also affects our mood and general wellbeing. As the largest organ of the body, our skin benefits as much as our muscle tone when we spend more time moving and less time on the sofa.
