This is Kevin on behalf of Expert Village talking about how to avoid razor burns and
razor cuts. One of the best things you can do for your skin is try to give it a few days
between shaving, as obviously I have done. If you work in an office, that might not be
an option. If you can get away with shaving every other day, by all means do it. If there
is a beard style that you can grow, or at least you don't have to shave the most sensitive
parts of your skin, give that a try. When it's time to shave, you have to open the pores
and soften the hair. That's why it's best to shave in the shower or right after you
get out of the shower, or do what they did in the barber shops in the old days. Take
a hot wet cloth; place it on your skin for a few minutes to really open those pores up.
It feels pretty good too. You can also use a face wash designed for sensitive skin. Preferably,
with some moisturizers and salicylic acid, which really cleans out the pores. The idea
is to clean your skin and keep your face warm and moisturized, and go right from that into
shaving. Some people also get great results by using hair conditioners on their skin,
especially conditioners containing tea tree oil. Whatever works. Try it.
