How to avoid after-shave irritation

All men are aware of the burning sensation that occurs after shaving. So today we show you how to avoid it.

Not only is daily shaving dull, but it can also cause serious irritation and thus damage your appearance and lead to uncomfortable itching and redness. That is why it is very important to know how to avoid nasty irritation after shaving. We will give you some tips and help keep your face in perfect condition after every shave.

Before shaving, moisturize your skin and beard well. Hydration will soften the skin and hair and make the razor glide, not scratch. Use lukewarm water and you can also use wet towels. When you apply the gel or shaving foam, allow it to stand for a while to further soften the skin and hair. Avoid blunt razors and use sharp ones, as this is the best way to avoid the irritation that comes from pulling hair. When shaving, do not use strong movements, but use light and gentle movements and let the razor blades do the job. If the hair remains in the light movements, it means that your razor is bad and needs replacement.

When you finish shaving, be sure to wash with cold water. This will close your pores and calm your skin from shaving irritation. Lastly, we come to the most important step, which is hydrating your face. Redness and itching occur due to dry skin that is irritated, which is why you need to use something that will nourish and hydrate your skin.

Avoid strong lotions that have alcohol as they can aggravate the situation, but instead focus on mild moisturizing creams that have a calming effect and will reduce irritation and burning.
