Skin care ba shaving and more

• Men have a thinner subcutaneous fat layer.
• Men's skin may be more likely to react to, or be more sensitive to, certain substances in skin care products.
• The horny layer of men's skin is thicker: about 24% thicker than women's skin.
• Men's skin pH is on average 6.5. Thus, the skin is slightly more neutral than women's skin. Because of this, the skin is more vulnerable.
• The pores of men's skin are larger. As a result, the risk of pollution and clogging is slightly higher.
• Men's skin has higher fat production. As a result, there is more chance of acne.
• Men sweat more. Men's skin is often very dehydrated. As a result, there is more chance of drying out the skin.
• The structure of the subcutaneous connective tissue is more rigid in men. This eventually causes deeper wrinkles.

• Cleansing the skin prepares it for shaving: the beard hairs soften and dead skin cells are removed. This makes shaving go more smoothly.
• The best time to cleanse the face is in the morning before shaving.
• Always use lukewarm water rather than hot water for cleansing.
• It is best to cleanse your skin with a pH-neutral cleansing gel.
• Do you suffer from sensitive or dry skin? Then always use a mild or unscented cleansing gel instead of ordinary soap.

• Scrubbing is done with a scrub cream or scrub gel that contains fine grains. Gently massage the exfoliating gel onto damp facial skin. The beads remove dead skin cells and clean the skin. Your skin will look healthier as a result.
• An added benefit of exfoliating is that it helps prevent ingrown hairs.
• Scrub at most once a week.
• Never scrub right before or after shaving. Scrubbing and shaving at the same time can lead to skin and shaving irritations.
• If you have sensitive skin, it's best not to scrub.

• 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.
• Use an after shave balm or moisturizer (hydrating cream).
• Do not use after shave or skin care products containing alcohol.

• Cleanse the face both morning and evening with a cleansing gel.
• After shaving, use a light non-greasy after shave balm or alcohol-based after shave lotion or splash that keeps sebum production under control throughout the day.
• Scrub the face up to once or twice a week with a scrub gel.
• Never scrub right before or after shaving. And avoid the eye area.

• 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.
• Use a moisturizer (hydrating cream) only on the dry parts of the face instead of a regular after shave balm.
• If necessary, use cleansing pads for the oily areas of the face.

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

When cleansing, avoid any "harsh" product, such as soaps and skincare products containing alcohol.

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

Below are some helpful shaving and skin care tips:

• Don't shave too often. Instead of daily, shave every two to three days.
• Cleanse the face with a mild cleansing 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 with a safety razor (safety razor) or a modern two- or three-blade razor (Gillette Mach3) instead of a modern five-blade razor (Gillette Fusion or ProGlide).
• Before shaving, apply an unscented pre shave oil/gel to the shaving area. Pre shave provides an extra buffer between razor and skin.
• Use only an unscented and paraben-free shaving cream, shaving soap, shaving gel or ready-to-use shaving foam.
• Apply shaving cream or soap using a shaving brush with soft synthetic bristles. Synthetic bristles are more hygienic to use than badger and hog bristles.
• Always allow the shaving cream to soak in for one minute. This softens the beard hairs and makes shaving smoother.
• Always shave along with the beard hairs. Do not shave against the beard hairs.
• Take your time. Shave with gentle movements.
• Pat skin dry with a clean towel after shaving.
• Soothe the skin after shaving with an unscented after shave balm.
• Do not use scented and alcoholic after shave lotions or eau de toilette.
• Also, use hypoallergenic and paraben-free products as much as possible.
• If a regular after shave balm does not help, use a razor burn repair or moisturizer.
• Is the skin hypersensitive to sun? Then use a moisturizer with SPF factor (sun protection factor).

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

• Men get wrinkles later in life. 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 cleanse the skin well, pat the skin dry and apply anti-wrinkle cream.
• Anti-wrinkle cream can also be used after shaving. First shave, rinse the skin well and pat dry, apply anti-wrinkle cream and finally use an after shave balm or moisturizer if necessary.
