Beards are invincible enemies. We shave it every day, and it grows every day. How many mornings, we picked up a razor that was thrown aside at will, shaved twice at will, and hurried out. It is natural for men to shave. Why don't we learn to treat it in the right way? In fact, shaving is also to conquer nature and overcome self-indulgence. People who really care about you must care about everything on your face. For that unforgettable moment, scrape it with your heart!

It is believed that shaving is beneficial to clean the face, make dead skin cells fall off, enhance the muscle vitality of the face and chin, promote local blood circulation and metabolism, help to eliminate facial wrinkles and make people look young and handsome.

If you advocate the traditional clean shaving method, you can choose a manual razor. In order to achieve the perfect effect, you may wish to pay attention to the following steps:

It's good to shave in the morning

At this point, the face and epidermis are relaxed. Before shaving, you should wash your face and apply a hot towel to make your pores and beard swell and soften, which is convenient for shaving. After applying for about 3 ~ 4 minutes, gently apply soap or facial cleanser to cheeks and lips. After a while, the beard will be softer.

Wet

First, clean the razor and hands, and clean your face (especially the part where your beard is). Moisture is the key to shaving, which will make the beard 70% softer than before. Moisturizing can be done in two ways: taking a shower or applying it with a hot and humid towel for three minutes. Taking a shower can fully absorb water, but if it is too good, it will become a bad thing. Sweating in the bath will dilute the foam, thus reducing the protective effect. Therefore, the ideal shaving time is a few minutes after the shower, the pores are still expanding, and there are no water droplets on the face.

Foam.

The traditional hard shaving soap is very interesting, but after shaving, the skin will feel burning. High-quality shaving cream contains drugs to soften beard cutin and lubricate skin, which provides better protection for beard and skin. Its thick foam is coated on the beard, which can not only lubricate the beard, but also reduce the friction between the blade and the skin, making people feel no pain, thus reducing the direct harm of the razor to the face. However, the ingredients of shaving cream are generally complicated, and allergic dermatitis and other reactions may occur after a few people use it, so they should stop using it at this time. The most satisfactory tool for applying foam is a brush, and hands can't fully and effectively wet soap into the skin. Spend money to buy a good badger brush, which is soft in texture, can retain water like a sponge, is durable and can be stored for 10 years. The easiest way to use a shaving brush is to gently draw a circle on your face.

◎ Shaver should be suitable for yourself.

Some people like to use old-fashioned razors, but more men are happy to use safety razors with built-in blades. A sharp blade will scrape the skin very clean and smooth without stubble. In recent years, electric shavers have gradually become popular. The electric tremor during shaving can enhance the vitality around the lips and cheeks, play the role of tremor massage, and dredge the meridians and qi and blood. However, after a few people use it, the skin around the mouth will itch for a while, and then gradually improve and disappear after stopping using it. This may be related to contact with nickel contained in electric shavers. Nickel is the most common allergen. When the skin is damaged, bacterial infection and excessive friction will increase the absorption of nickel. At this time, you should stop using the electric shaver.

It is worth noting that some people like to pull out their beards with their hands or tweezers, which is a bad habit. Bacteria are easy to invade, causing skin diseases such as folliculitis and boils.

shave

Facial beard grows in different directions. First of all, we should understand the texture of the beard, and then scrape it along the lines, which can scrape off 80% of the beard, and then scrape it in turn. Finally, check the lower palate, Adam's apple and other places that can't be scraped. It is worth noting that people with sensitive skin had better use a multi-blade razor, which can reduce the number of scraping and reduce the possibility of allergies. The steps of shaving usually start from the upper cheeks on both sides, then the beard on the upper lip, and then the angular parts of the face. The general principle is to start with the sparse part of the beard and put the thickest part at the end. Because shaving cream stays longer, Hu Gen can be further softened.

clean

Wash it with warm water after scraping, pat the scratched part dry gently, and don't rub it hard. Then apply aftershave, which can shrink pores, disinfect the skin, leave a refreshing fragrance and make people feel fresh and moist. After use, the knife should be cleaned and put in a ventilated place to dry. In order to avoid the growth of bacteria, the blade should be replaced regularly, washed with water or soaked in alcohol.

◎ If you advocate a simple and convenient shaving method, you can choose an electric shaver. Please note the following steps:

1. Pay attention to cleaning. Clean the blade and contact surface of the electric shaver with a brush. If the used knife can be washed with water, it should be washed before and after use.

2. Usually the electric shaver is used in a dry environment, and the face should be kept dry when shaving, but special electric shaver and special shaving water can also be used to soften the beard.

Don't forget to take care of your skin after shaving.

In order to avoid the growth of bacteria, 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 suggestions: using shaving cream or shaving gel and shaving foam before shaving can keep moisture, accelerate beard softening and reduce injury and discomfort; After-shave water can keep moisture and prevent water from evaporating after shaving. When choosing shaving cream or shaving liquid, it is best to choose something cool and soft, because their main task is to soothe and calm the skin. Don't think that products with burning sensation are masculine.

Skin care products after shaving, it is best to choose alcohol-free, because alcohol often makes the skin drier and has certain irritation. Generally speaking, aftershave is a good skin care choice, and the lotion is also good. If it is dry skin, pay attention to choose products with better moisturizing effect. If it is mixed or oily skin, choose a lighter one.
