Solution To Rough Skin Due To Shaving

Generally shaving makes our skin very rough. The good fact is very that you can avoid it and that the process is also completely reversible. Skin getting rough due to shaving is quite normal if you do not take care of using right shaving ingredients. Let us first take a look at why our skin becomes so rough on shaving regularly:

When we shave ourselves we actually remove a very small layer of skin off our face.

The skin becomes rough and dry and loses its moisture content if we do not use a proper lotion or cream to restore its moisture.

When we go out after having a clean shave our skin is exposed to the harsh sun rays which is quite harmful to the skin.

There is a game of opening and closing of the skin pores which if taken care of properly can give you better shaving results.

Let us now see how we can avoid our skin from getting rough due to excessive shaving:

First and foremost do not simply apply some soap to your face and start shaving immediately. Use a proper shaving cream and work it using a shaving brush to produce some rich lather. It is to be noticed that the longer the cream remains on your face the easier it is to have a clean shave.

Use hot water while shaving. This opens up the pores on your face and lets you shave your beard a little below the skin surface. On the contrary it is better to use cold water to wash you face after you finish shaving yourself. If in case you have cut yourself, washing the face with some cold water will clot the blood much faster than it would under normal conditions.

Please do use a sharp razor as far as possible. Do not look back for the amount of money spent on the razor. A few more bucks and your skin will stay smooth for a very long time. Professionals working in MNC's have to shave themselves regularly whether they like it or not. As such make it a point to keep a set of new razor blades while already using one set. Many a times we use older blades just because we are lazy enough to go out and buy new blades. Older blades hurt a lot and are also a main reason for making our skin rougher than normal.

Use a good after shave. It makes you feel fresh and active. A man marks his presence through the fragrance of his after shave. There is no need to use any scrub of any sort. The scrubs are generally used so that they can peel a thin layer of dead cells on your face. Hence males need to use a scrub only once in a week (which also is not necessary by the way).

There is a myth that upward strokes make your beard rougher. It is just a myth. You need to use reverse strokes if you want to have a very clean shave. An ideal shave requires at least twenty minutes of careful and hard work. Also take a look at the secret of smoother and cooler shaving.

Have a great shaving day. If you use a good after shave there is no need to use any moisturizer or lotion of any sort. If possible use some oil on your face it will make your skin smoother and will give it a great glow. Apply the oil in the night and shave yourself in the morning.
