Will shaving leave scars?

For men, if they are not careful when shaving, the skin may be scratched and cause bleeding. Generally, when shaving with a razor, there will be no scars because the dermis of the skin is not damaged. Unless the skin damage is more serious, it may cause scars. For men, they must understand some techniques when shaving.

3 tips for men to shave

1. 20 minutes after getting up in the morning is the best time to

This is mainly because when you just get up, after a night's rest, your reproductive function is strong and your beard grows fast. After 20 minutes to half an hour of consumption, the male hormones in the male body are no longer so strong, and the growth rate of the beard decreases. If you shave at this time, it will not grow quickly.

2. Wash with neutral soap first

It is a good idea to wash before shaving. Before shaving, wash your face with a neutral soap. If there is dirt and dust on your face and beard, the dirt will cause skin infection if the razor irritates the skin or slightly scratches the skin. After washing your face, apply a hot towel to your beard or apply beard softening cream to soften the beard. After a while, apply shaving cream or soap to facilitate the blade to cut the beard and reduce irritation to the skin. When shaving, tighten the skin to reduce the resistance of the razor on the skin and prevent scratching the skin.

3. It is better to scrape along the grain

Some men find shaving particularly painful. In fact, to shave, you need to understand the direction of the beard texture. According to the different directions of facial beard growth, shave from left to right, from top to bottom, first along the pores, then against the pores, so that the shaving cream has more time to soften the hardest part of the short beard. Shaving along the texture can reduce skin redness, swelling and pain.

What should men pay attention to when shaving?

1. Avoid shaving from different directions

If you shave randomly from all directions when shaving, it will cause the beard to be shaved too short, or even cause the formation of inverted beards. And the beard is growing every moment, shaving is something men must do every day, so we should shave carefully from the same direction.

Never share razors with other people, as this is how the hepatitis C virus is transmitted. One in 100 people is a carrier of the virus.

2. Don’t shave before taking a shower

The skin has many micro-wounds that are invisible to the naked eye after shaving and is relatively sensitive. If you take a shower immediately at this time, the stimulation of shower gel, shampoo and hot water can easily cause discomfort or even redness in the shaved area.

3. Don’t shave before exercise

When you exercise, your body's blood circulation speeds up and a large amount of sweat will irritate the skin you just shaved, causing discomfort or even infection.

4. 26-degree shaving rule

In order to make the shaving process smoother, it is generally recommended that men apply an appropriate amount of shaving cream. In addition, the order of shaving should also be noted. It is best to start from the temples, cheeks and neck, and then shave the beard under the jaw. At the same time, shaving at a 26-degree angle and tightening the skin can make the shaving process smoother.

5. Don’t shave the hair

Although shaving with razor grains will give a cleaner shave, it can easily irritate the skin and cause inverted beards.

6. Don’t pull out ingrown beards

Don't remove it with tweezers; pull it out carefully, shave it off with a razor, and then moisturize your skin with aftershave lotion or aftershave cream.
