Men can't touch the hair here before taking a shower

A healthy male has an average of 385 beards for every 6.45 square centimeters on his cheeks. These beards grow at a rate of about 2.5 centimeters every 8 weeks. It is because of this rapid growth rate that shaving becomes a daily necessity for men.

Here are some issues that men need to pay attention to when shaving. Let’s take a look.

It is not a good idea to shave before taking a shower

Don't touch your beard before taking a shower. There are many micro-wounds on the skin that are invisible to the naked eye after shaving. If you take a shower immediately, the stimulation of shower gel, shampoo and hot water can easily cause discomfort or even redness in the shaved area.

Avoid shaving before and after exercise

Don't touch your beard before or after exercise. The blood circulation in your body speeds up, and a large amount of sweat will irritate the skin you just shaved, causing a burning sensation, discomfort or even infection.

When is the best time for men to shave?

20 minutes after getting up in the morning is the best time

Shaving right in the morning may not be very effective. You may have new stubble by the afternoon. It is best to shave 20 minutes after getting up to keep your face clean for the whole day. This is mainly because when you just get up, after a night of 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.

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.

Better to scrape along the grain

Some men find shaving particularly painful. In fact, shaving requires understanding the direction of the beard texture. According to the different directions of facial beard growth, shaving should be done 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 redness, swelling and pain of the skin. Especially for the elderly or thin people, whose skin is prone to wrinkles, the skin should be tightened to keep it elastic and have a certain support. After shaving, wipe off the foam with a hot towel or wash with warm water, and check whether there are any stubbles.

If the beard grows back into the skin after it encounters the razor, it will cause a foreign body reaction on the skin and cause small pustules. These troubles are mainly caused by incorrect shaving methods. Shaving the cheeks smooth will cause "razor bumps" because only very short beards can drill back into the skin. The cleaner the beard is shaved, the easier it is for those very short beards to grow into the skin, causing unbearable pain. Therefore, men should not shave too cleanly. I hope this will be helpful to everyone. Men care about their appearance, but they also need to take care of their skin.

Correct shaving and cleaning:

1. Pay attention to cleaning. Use a brush to clean the blades and contact surfaces of the electric shaver. If the blade can be washed, wash it clean before and after use.

2. Usually electric shavers are used in a dry environment, and the face should be kept dry when shaving. However, you can also use a special electric shaver and special shaving water to soften the beard.

3. After shaving, don't forget to take care of your skin.

4. To avoid bacterial growth, cleaning after use is essential. In order to have a good "face", you should pay more attention.

When using shaving products, it is best to pay attention to the following advice: shaving cream or shaving gel and shaving foam are all used before shaving, which can retain moisture, speed up the softening of the beard, and reduce damage and discomfort; aftershave lotion can retain moisture and prevent moisture from evaporating after shaving. When choosing shaving cream or shaving lotion, it is better to choose a relatively cool and gentle one, because their main task is to soothe and calm the skin. Don't think that products with a burning feeling are manly. The above are the issues that need to be paid attention to when shaving. I believe you have already understood them. I hope it will be helpful to you.

Beard is a sign of a man's maturity and also a medium related to men's health. When shaving, you must remember that you should not shave before taking a shower or before or after exercise. In addition, you must follow the correct steps when shaving to ensure your health.
