Skin care BA Shaving and more

Discover essential tips for skin care especially for men. Whether you suffer from shaving irritations, are looking for the right care products, or want to know more about the differences between men's and women's skin, this guide offers extensive information and practical advice.

Skin care after shaving

After shaving, skin care is crucial to prevent irritations such as bumps and itching. Products such as moisturizers, aftershaves from top brands such as Proraso, and aftershave balms are essential to keep your skin healthy and fresh.

What is the difference between men's and women's skin?

What are the differences between men's and women's skin?

  • The man has a thinner subcutaneous fat layer.
  • The men's skin can respond to, or is more sensitive to, certain substances in skin care products.
  • The horny layer of the men's skin is thicker: about 24% thicker than the women's skin.
  • The pH value of the men's skin is on average 6.5. The skin is therefore slightly more neutral than the women's skin. This makes the skin more vulnerable.
  • The pores of the men's skin are larger. This makes the chance of pollution and blockage slightly greater.
  • The men's skin has a higher fat production. This makes it more chance of acne.
  • Men sweat more. The men's skin is often very powerful. This makes it more likely to dehydration of the skin.
  • The structure of the subcutaneous connective tissue is stiffer in men. This ultimately causes deeper wrinkles.

Why do I have to clean my face in advance?

Why do I have to clean my face well? And when can I do this best?

  • By cleaning the skin, the skin is prepared for shaving: the beard hairs become softer and the dead skin cells are removed. This makes shaving more flexible.
  • The best time to clean the face is before shaving.
  • Always use lukewarm water instead of hot water before cleaning.
  • It is best to clean your skin with a pH neutral cleaning gel.
  • Do you suffer from sensitive or dry skin? Then always use a mild or unscented cleansing gel instead of regular soap.

When should I use Scrubgel?

I regularly use a scrub gel. How often should I use this?

  • You scrubben with a scrub cream or scrub gel that contain fine grains. You carefully massage the scrub gel into the damp facial skin. The balls remove the dead skin cells and clean the skin. This will make your skin look healthier.
  • An additional advantage of scrubbing is that the ingrown hair helps prevent.
  • Scrub a maximum of once a week.
  • Never scrub just before or after shaving. Scrubbing and shaving at the same time can lead to skin and shaving irritations.
  • If you have sensitive skin, you shouldn't scrub.

What are handy care tips for dry skin?

I suffer from dry skin. What can I use best?

  • Use a mild cleansing gel instead of regular soap.
  • Always clean with lukewarm water instead of hot water.
  • Use an unparalleled and moisturizing shaving cream or shaving soap.
  • Use an After Shave Balm or Moisturizer (moisturizing cream).
  • Do not use after shave or skin care products with alcohol.

What are handy care tips for greasy skin?

I suffer from oily skin. What can I use best?

  • Clean the face with a cleansing gel both in the morning and in the evening.
  • After shaving, use a light non-greasy after shave balm or alcoholic after shave lotion or splash who keeps the sebum production under control during the day.
  • Scrub a maximum of once or twice a week with the face with one scrubel.
  • Never scrub just before or after shaving. And avoid the eye circumference.

What are handy care tips for combined skin?

Some parts of my face are dry and others are greasy again. What can I use best?

  • Use a mild cleansing gel instead of regular soap.
  • Always clean with lukewarm water instead of hot water.
  • Use an unscented and moisturizing shaving cream or shaving soap.
  • Only use a moisturizer (moisturizing cream) on the dry parts of the face instead of a normal after Shave Balm.
  • Use if necessary cleansing paths For the fat parts of the face.

What are handy care tips for sensitive or fast irritated skin?

I have sensitive or fast irritated skin. What can I use best?

The sensitive skin is often hypersensitive and only tolerates a few specific shaving and skin care products.

When cleaning, avoid any "aggressive" product, such as soap and alcoholic care products.

Also use as much unscented, hypoallergenic and paraben -free products as possible.

Below you can read some handy shaving and skin care tips:

  • Don't shave too often. Instead of every day, you better shave every two to three days.
  • Clean the face with a mild cleaning gel. Do not use ordinary soap.
  • Always clean with lukewarm water instead of hot water.
  • Always shave with a clean and sharp razor. Replace razor blades on time.
  • Shave possibly with a Safety Razor (safety shaving knife) or a modern razor with two or three razor blades (Gillette Mach3) instead of a modern razor with five razor blades (Gillette Fusion or Proglide).
  • Before shaving, bring an unparalleled one pre -shave oil/gel on the shaving area. Pre Shave provides an extra buffer between razor and skin.
  • Only use an unscented and paraben-free shaving cream, shaving soap, shaving gel or ready-made-clean foam.
  • Apply shaving cream or soap using a Shaving brush with soft synthetic hairs. Synthetic hairs are more hygienic to use than badger and pork hairs.
  • Always let the shaving foam work in for one minute. This makes the beard hairs soft and the shaving goes smoother.
  • Always shave with the beard hair. Do not go against the bearded hair in shaving.
  • Take your time. Shave with quiet movements.
  • Pat the skin dry with a clean towel after shaving.
  • Calm the skin after shaving with an unpariculed after Shave Balm.
  • Do not use perfumed and alcoholic after Shave Lotions or eau de toilette.
  • Also use as much hypoallergenic and paraben -free products as possible.
  • If a normal after Shave Balm does not help, use a Razor Burn Repair or a moisturizer.
  • Is the skin hypersensitive to sun? Then use one moisturizer with SPF factor (sun protection factor).

I suffer from bags or dark circles around my eyes. What can I use best?

  • Use a mild cleansing gel instead of regular soap.
  • Use an anti -wrinkle cream for the eyes.
  • Eat healthy, drink enough water and take your sleep.

How do I prevent wrinkles?

I am 40 and have no wrinkles yet. Do I have to use an anti -wrinkle cream or not?

  • Men get wrinkles at a later age. These wrinkles are deeper and coarser than in women.
  • Invest in your skin and take good care of it. Use an anti -wrinkle cream daily after shaving or in the evening.
  • First clean the skin well, pat dry and apply anti -wrinkle cream.
