Which skin type requires extra caution when shaving?

Oily skin.
Dry skin.
Sensitive skin.
Normal skin.

The correct answer is: Sensitive skin.

Sensitive skin requires extra caution when shaving because it is more prone to irritation, redness, and adverse reactions due to factors such as environmental conditions, product ingredients, and the shaving technique used. This skin type typically has a thinner epidermis and lower moisture levels, making it more vulnerable to the effects of shaving. When working with sensitive skin, it's essential to use gentle products that are free from harsh chemicals and fragrances. Additionally, employing a light touch and appropriate shaving tools can help minimize irritation. The use of soothing pre- and post-shave treatments is also beneficial for calming the skin and preventing discomfort. Understanding the unique needs of sensitive skin ensures a safer and more comfortable shaving experience.
