How to avoid irritation after shave

Use Warm Water
Hot water helps open pores and make hair more manageable for easier shaving and avoiding irritation. You can take advantage of the moment after a hot shower to carry out the procedure. To help tighten pores, rinse with cool water after shaving.

Change blades frequently
If the razor blades are dull, dirty or rusty, they can injure the skin, which is one of the main reasons for facial irritation. Also, if it is spent several times in the same place, it ends up causing problems in the region. For this reason, change the blade as soon as you feel it getting dull, that is, when it starts to pull the hairs and not cut them.

Exfoliate
Using a good facial scrub twice a week is important to remove dead cells that build up on the skin. This way you prevent the hair from jamming, greatly reducing the chance of inflammation. Use the scrub directly on your face, especially in areas you usually shave. Avoid rubbing it directly on your beard strands.

Lubricate the face with a specific product
Some men choose to use soap for shaving. However, this product only foams, which does not contribute to the lubrication of the area. Therefore, for the blade to slide better on the face without hurting or snagging, use a shaving gel. This product is essential for those who have sensitive skin and, consequently, problems with irritation.

Shave in the right direction
It's no use having the best blade and the highest quality shaving gel if you're shaving in the wrong direction. It is recommended that the blade be passed in the direction of hair growth to prevent them from jamming. In addition, this habit prevents cuts and wounds on the face.

Use both hands during the process
This is a classic tip for those who shave. It consists of using one hand to hold the razor and the other hand to stretch the skin of the face slightly. This helps to lift the hairs and leave them close, preventing the blade from hurting the skin without having to pass it in the same place several times.

Moisturize the skin after shaving
Hydration is key after shaving and applying a lotion after shaving makes all the difference in the skin. Count on products with healing and soothing properties for the face, which prevents irritation, redness, ingrown hair and folliculitis.
