Shaving: men, take care of you!
The majority of the men shave the every day, even if a beard of a few days is accepted more and more socially. It is thus important to make of this moment a true ritual beauty and wellbeing, rather than a drudgery which would leave your irritated and painful skin.
The razor can make damage
Too many men are satisfied with the minimum service with regard to shaving! Quickly made, with products of quality average, and without paying attention there, this morning ritual can become rather painful. After all, the razor does not remove only the hairs: this cutting blade eliminates also a tiny layer from the skin to each passage. What immediately involves after shaving a sometimes painful, and long-term irritation a thickening of the cornea layer – accustomed to be thus “planed” every morning, the skin of the men ends up being protected while thickening.
The fire of the razor: regular companion…
The “fire of the razor”, this feeling of burn which accompanies the passage by the blade on the skin, is for the majority of the men who shave a daily companion. It is started by the aggression of the blade.
The solution?
To take its time before shaving: to wash its face with warm water to soften the skin, to leave freezing or the cream to shave to act on the hair during one minute before beginning shaving itself. To also take its time during shaving, to avoid the impatient, too abrupt gestures. Thus the fire of shaving will be less strong. After shaving, you can apply a calming product – balsam or lotion – but attention, all the after-shaves are not of the same quality. If a product is not appropriate to you, do not hesitate to change some.
Buttons of irritation: a consequence attends shaving
The shortly after the day when they shaved, the men rather often have the unpleasant consequence of small buttons, white or reds. It is there still a reaction of irritation, like the fire of the razor, but a little more durable.
The solution?
The solutions with the fire of the razor will normally also help to get rid of the buttons. It is important to add to it a good hydration and a regular gumming (every week about) which will control the sebum and dead cells which is on the surface of the skin. This one will be then more resistant.
Incarnated hairs: painful results of shaving
It happens that hairs do not manage any more to leave the skin. Wedged, they thus push inside the skin, creating sometimes painful bumps, which can tend to be infected: incarnated hairs. It is particularly frequent at the men who shave, because the hair, extremely short half-compartment, must again cut through a path to surface.
The solution?
It is important to shave in the direction of the hair. But there does not exist satisfactory solution 100% with the incarnated hairs. Best is still to accept a certain length of hair, and to use a mower with the razors preferably.
