After shave products

Impeccable appearance - a pledge of self-confidence for women and men, and one of its important components is a beautiful, smooth skin. So that she always remains healthy and does not suffer from daily shaving, after the completion of this procedure it is necessary to pamper her with special means.

After shaving products are needed not only for men, but also for women, because they also often resort to using a razor to remove body hair, and their skin is much more tender. This is especially true of the sensitive bikini area and underarms.

It should not be forgotten that even the most delicate shaving is an inevitable injury to the upper protective layer of the skin, and after it remains especially exposed to the influence of external negative factors - wind, sun, cold air and pathogens.

There are several main causes of skin irritation:

• dull or substandard blades;
• blades too sharp;
• a large number of blades on the machine;
• insufficiently moisturized skin;
• too frequent shave.

There is a large selection of aftershave care products. They differ in properties, method of application and, of course, price.

• Gel - one of the most common means. He is loved for a light, non-greasy texture, well absorbed into the skin and leaves no traces. As a rule, gels have a refreshing or moisturizing effect and a pleasant menthol aroma.
• Cologne or lotion. These are alcohol-containing agents with a good disinfectant and drying effect. Often they have a rather sharp, persistent odor, so they should be used carefully and not applied too much.
• Balm. Unlike colognes and lotions, alcohol is not included in the balms, but they have a good cooling, refreshing and soothing effect, provide delicate care and are pleasant to use.

• Aftershave cream has, as a rule, a rather dense and oily texture, well moisturizes and tones the skin. It has a neutral unobtrusive smell. This tool is not used very often, as it is not very convenient to use. Nevertheless, it is among the creams that most of the therapeutic agents can really help with strong irritation after shaving.
• Salicylic acid. It can be used as its alcohol solution, and preparations containing it. Salicylic acid removes irritation and redness well, disinfects and dries the skin, is effective in combating acne. But it can be applied daily for no more than a week, then it is necessary to take a short break, otherwise the skin can be dried out.

• After shave emulsion is one of the most expensive products. It has a pleasant light, enveloping texture, thanks to which its active substances easily penetrate into the cells, actively nourish, restore them and provide deep hydration.
• Various types of aftershave oils are commonly used by women. This is especially true for eliminating irritation in the bikini area. Tea tree, peppermint, rosemary, grape seed oil or baby oil used to care for the skin of newborns have a good soothing effect.

Selecting an after shave should be based on the individual characteristics of your skin, because each type requires its own specific care.

For oily skin, it is better to choose alcohol lotions or balms that do not have a strong moisturizing effect, but on the contrary, drying skin. The use of moisturizers can lead to the formation of acne and the appearance of oily sheen.

Dry skin requires the use of moisturizing balms and oils and reacts poorly to alcohol-containing products. Practically any remedy is suitable for normal skin - lotion, cologne, cream or gel. One of the selection criteria may be its smell - it must be neutral or almost imperceptible, not interrupting the smell of the main perfume.

Before using any means after shaving the skin, you must first prepare. To do this, wash thoroughly, removing the remnants of soap or shaving foam, as well as the small remaining hairs and, if necessary, make a compress from a cold wet towel for a few minutes. It is necessary to soothe the skin after mechanical action, close the pores and narrow the vessels.

Next, put on the palm a little money and light massage movements, not rubbing too much, distribute it throughout the treated area. Flush means, as a rule, not necessary.
