Men complain of itchy and irritated facial skin after shaving.
This is often due to improper skin care - follow these simple tips and discomfort will stop bothering you.
It is recommended to:
- Make sure that razor is sharp. Shaving incorrectly, using a dull razor, or shaving a sensitive area of skin can all cause skin irritation.
- Store the razors in a dry place. Leaving a razor on a wet surface, such as in the shower or next to the sink, can allow bacteria to grow on the blades. This may lead to a higher risk of bacteria entering the skin and causing irritation.
- Soften the skin and hair with water.
- Apply shaving cream and let it sit on the skin for 2–3 minutes.
- Shave in the direction that the hair grows.
- Rinse the razor after each stroke.
- After shaving, rinse the face with cold water.
- Apply a moisturizer and sunscreen.
