Razor irritation: what do you put on your face after shaving?
Shaving is still the most common grooming step for many men, and it is also where a lot of redness and stinging starts. Korean men's lines now sell everything from soothing toners to all-in-one after-shave lotions.
Tips that come up again and again:
- Soften first: shave after a warm shower or with a warm towel.
- Use a proper shaving gel or foam, not just soap.
- Shave with the grain on sensitive areas, and change blades regularly.
- Skip strong alcohol splashes if they sting; many people switch to a fragrance-light, soothing lotion.
- Moisturize right after, while the skin is still slightly damp.
- Sunscreen in the morning, since freshly shaved skin can feel more reactive.
If bumps, ingrown hairs or irritation keep coming back, a dermatologist can help figure out whether technique, products or skin condition is the cause.
