Shaving the face with acne skin can be a challenge. Using a razor can aggravate inflamed skin and lead to irritation. So how do you take care of your acne-prone skin and beard to avoid aggravating your acne problems?

Proper hygiene

Proper hygiene is crucial in acne skin care. Therefore, if you want to shave the beard growing on your acne-prone skin, you have to pay even more attention to cleanliness and use appropriate cosmetics. 

Shaving acne-prone skin with a razor can intensify the symptoms and cause irritation. It is therefore recommended not to shave acne-prone skin. However, if it is impossible, you should approach shaving in a rational way and not do it too often.

First of all, you should use clean and sterile tools. If we do not have the possibility to sterilize accessories, we should use disposable razors. Also the cosmetics, which we use, should be properly matched to the type of skin. They cannot contain irritating and drying substances, such as alcohol. It is best if they are intended for acne-prone skin. You should also remember about regular moisturizing and cleansing of your skin, which will help to deal with irritations.

How to care for acne-prone skin before shaving?

Proper acne skin care will help deal with the problem, making shaving a more pleasant experience. The basis is a thorough cleansing with the right products. They should be mild, designed for acne-prone skin and have a neutral pH. Washing your face with regular soap or shower gel may dry it out and thus increase the risk of acne lesions. It is also important to moisturize the skin daily with gentle creams, and exfoliate regularly with a scrub.

What cosmetics should I use for shaving my acne-prone skin?

Cosmetics, which you use to shave your acne-prone skin, should not contain irritating substances, such as alcohol. If you find it difficult to find products with a good composition, you can replace the shaving foam with tea tree oil, jojoba or argan oil. They will soften the hair, making it more manageable to shave.

How to prepare for shaving acne-prone skin?

Before shaving your acne-prone skin, you can take a quick shower or make a compress on your beard with a warm towel. The warmth will soften the hair follicles and avoid irritation. Wash your hands and disinfect all accessories if possible.

Which razor to choose for shaving acne-prone skin?

If you use a manual razor to shave, choose those with a single blade. They are gentle and will help you avoid jams. Those with several blades may cause irritation on your skin. Shave in the direction of hair growth to avoid cuts. After shaving, pat your face dry gently with a towel without rubbing it. Apply an after shave cream and wash acne lesions with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid.

How to care for white shirts?
Every man has his favorite white shirt in his closet. However, not everyone knows how to take care of it. Collar, cuffs, sleeves, button fastenings - shirts have a complex cut full of many nooks and crannies that can easily get dirty or damaged. If you're tired of deodorant stains, folds, and other signs of premature wear and tear on this garment, read this article. Here's how to take care of your white shirts. Buy quality shirts First of all, remember that you should always, or at least often, put quality over quantity. A 65% polyester and 35% cotton shirt made in Bangladesh for £50 will not last you for years, even if you try to look after it. Although the price is not a guarantee of quality, it is worth paying attention to the material. Look closely at what the shirt is made of, how it is finished and make a checklist of points to check. When all of these points are "ticked off," you will know that a particular shirt will last with you for at least a few years Don't always wear the same shirt A practical rule of thumb for keeping clothing in good condition is to avoid over-wearing it. Just like with a pair of nice shoes, don't put on the same white shirt several times a week! The more times you put it on, the sooner you'll have to say goodbye to it Choose the right wash program The washing machine is a good friend to men, but it can quickly become your clothes' worst nightmare. For white shirts, try to follow the directions on the label. If you're not sure how to wash your shirt, don't go above 40° and don't wash it by hand. Also take care of the washing cycle, do not overload the machine and pay attention to the colors of the clothes you put into it. Wash white shirts only with other white clothes and use a special white washing powder. If necessary, use a stain remover before washing Avoid the dryer, just use a good hanger Once your shirt is clean, take it out of the washing machine as quickly as possible so that it doesn't wrinkle too much and absorb the unpleasant smell caused by moisture. Even if you have the option of putting it in the dryer, don't. Your best bet is to lay the shirt out on a fairly large wooden rack and stretch its sleeves well to keep them from creasing. This will make ironing easier later Make sure the shirt is clean before ironing Before ironing, take a close look at your shirt to verify that it is clean. If there is still a little dirt on it, wash it again and then let it dry. Stubborn stains can come from laundry detergent if you poured too much of it into the washing machine. Hang up your shirt properly If your shirt is clean and ironed, it's time to put it in the closet. After ironing, wait for the fabric of the shirt to cool down. Avoid metal hangers that can distort the sleeves. The hanger should be made of wood or plastic with fairly wide edges and, if possible, rounded on the sides Make sure your deodorant has dried before you put on your shirt Deodorants in beads or sprays provide an "anti-yellow stain" effect. However, yellowish underarm stains can still appear on your white shirt. To solve this problem, remember to wait for the deodorant to dry before you put on your shirt. Wet deodorant should not come in direct contact with the fabric
