Shaving is a chore for many of the
male persuasion, but adding acne to the equation can make it into a horrible
and daunting task. When you shave the wrong way with acne you can increase your
acne levels while potentially causing a lot of pain and potentially permanent
scarring to your face. The easiest way to make shaving with acne easier and
safer is to use an electric razor or to get rid of your acne using an acne
treatment such as SkinB5’s Acne Control skincare range. However, if you find
yourself having to use a razor to shave acne prone skin, then try out these
tips for getting the best possible shave whist avoiding inflaming your acne.
Before you start shaving with a
razor you want to get your face clean and warm. This increases the suppleness
of the skin making it easier to shave whilst also preventing the spread of
bacteria, which can increase your acne. The easiest way to wash your face is in
the shower but if you do not shower before shaving you can also put a warm or
hot towel on your face for a few minutes prior to shaving.
Next you want to put on a gentle
foaming facial cleanser that does not contain sodium lauryl sulfate. This is
going to cause the least irritation to your skin, which is key to minimising
the impact of shaving your acne prone face. However, if you have to use a
shaving cream, try to use something that is specifically designed for sensitive
skin. With your chosen cleanser or cream place a good lump on your hand before
applying to the skin to create a generous, thick layer to protect your skin as
best as possible.
Now it is time to start shaving. It
is important that you use a razor that works well for you, but try to steer
clear of anything with more than two blades, as these may irritate the skin.
With your chosen razor in hand, move it across the skin with the grain of the
hair (generally downwards except for the bottom of the neck) with confident
strokes. Avoid shaving areas twice and if you do cut a pimple make sure you
wash the razor immediately to prevent the spread of bacteria.
Once you have finished shaving rinse
off your skin with warm water and wash around your eyes, forehead and nose.
Finally, decide whether you will
grow a beard or be clean shaven, because generally, anything in between will
increase the level of irritation that shaving will have on your acne. If you
follow these steps you can minimise the irritation that shaving may otherwise
have on your skin and could help prevent future issues for your acne.
