FAQs
How much Elemis Ice Cool Foaming Shave Gel should I use?
A pea-sized amount is recommended for each shave. This quantity is typically sufficient to cover the necessary area and activate the micro-capsules effectively.
What are the micro-capsules and what do they do?
The micro-capsules contain skin-soothing ingredients like jojoba oil and arnica. They activate when you rub the gel between your palms, releasing these beneficial components directly onto your skin for enhanced soothing and softening.
Is this shave gel suitable for all skin types?
While it is formulated to be ideal for sensitive skin types, its soothing and softening properties make it suitable for all skin types looking for a comfortable, irritation-free shave.
Do I need to clean my face before using the shave gel?
Yes, it is recommended to apply the shave gel to cleansed, damp skin. This helps prepare the skin and hair for shaving, ensuring a smoother experience and better results.
How does this gel help prevent shaving irritation?
The gel is blended with aloe vera, witch hazel, cooling menthol, and soothing chamomile extract, alongside the micro-encapsulated jojoba and arnica, all of which work together to calm the skin and reduce irritation during and after shaving.
Can this product be used with an electric shaver?
This product is designed for traditional wet shaving with a razor blade. It provides lubrication and foam to help the razor glide smoothly. It is generally not intended for use with electric shavers.
Troubleshooting
Gel doesn't foam or micro-capsules aren't activating.
Ensure you squeeze a pea-sized amount and rub your hands together thoroughly. This action is critical to burst the micro-capsules and create the foamy texture. Insufficient rubbing may prevent proper activation.
Skin still feels irritated after shaving.
While formulated to prevent irritation, ensure your skin is thoroughly cleansed and damp before application. Also, check that your razor is sharp and clean. If irritation persists, consider if you have individual sensitivities to any ingredients, and consult a dermatologist if concerns continue.
Not getting a close or smooth enough shave.
Ensure you're applying a sufficient, even layer of activated gel to create a good cushion and glide for your razor. Make sure your razor blades are fresh and sharp, and try shaving with the grain for the first pass.
Product is running out too quickly.
A pea-sized amount is generally sufficient for one shave. Over-applying can lead to faster depletion. Ensure you are using only the recommended quantity.
