Acne Skincare And Shaving
Shaving - Shaving for both genders is actually an excellent way of exfoliating
or removing dead skin to help
with the prevention and spreading
of acne instead of leaving
the remains to clog pores.
And for some light acne cases
already in process, shaving
can help rid whiteheads and
blackheads from the face.
A word of caution: for areas
with infection or high inflammatory
activity (redness, sensitive,
open acne, sores, etc.), do
not shave. Or at the very
least, use a shaving cream
for sensitive skin.
For best results with regular
shaving, follow these procedures:
First steer away from shaving
creams that are oily and choose
one for sensitive skin if
available. Then moisten facial
or other hair with warm water,
apply the shaving cream and
lather well. Shave with a
sharp (not dull) blade. Note
when shaving, use gentle swipes
instead of heavy pressure
ones that can irritate acne-prone
areas. And go with the flow
or "grain;" in other words,
adapt to downward, lateral,
angular or upward swipes,
for a smoother shave with
less nicks and irritating
backward motions. Experiment
with different razors, both
electric and disposable, with
single- double- or triple-edged
(mach III) heads to see which
works best for you. And try
shaving in a warm shower for
better results. For after
shaving applications, try
toning to stop bacteria dead
in its tracks before it gets
into your open follicles.
Here are some suggestions:
try antibiotic gel or lotion,
witch hazel, Dalacin T, a
mild alcohol-free toner, Benzoyl
Peroxide in gel form and Salicylic
Acid in a gel.
Shaving Tip: Electric razors
may not shave as close to
the skin; however, they help
with the prevention of acne
and other skin breakouts and
flare-ups better.
Shaving Tip: If a non-electric
razor is your choice, a single-edged
blade is actually better.
Why? Because double- and triple-edged
blades grab hair follicles
and pull them out from below
the epidermis. And in the
process, your skin "heals
itself" by closing over these
holes, making it difficult
for future hair follicles
to grow outward - creating
inflammation in the tight
areas.
