Practice a skin care regimen twice a day, even if it is simply washing with cleanser and water, and using a good moisturizer. Daily face washing will keep pores unclogged.
Before shaving, take a warm shower or steam the face with a warm cloth to soften the pores.
Use a pre-shave oil to soften and set the face for a close shave.
Daily shaving can dry out the skin. Look for shaving foam or gels that are especially designed to treat a particular skin type.
Don’t shave with plain water. Apply a protective shaving gel or cream to the face before shaving.
A swivel-head razor will decrease nicks, as opposed to a disposable razor. Replace the blade often. A dull blade does not provide a close shave and can be irritating to the skin.
Splash the face with cold water after shaving to tighten pores, but avoid using only water or alcohol-based after-shaves that can dry out skin.
Dermatologists recommend using a daily hydrating moisturizer.
After shaving, skin should be soothed with an after-shave balm. Men’s skin also should be protected from the sun for optimum health. Look for sunscreens or moisturizers with an SPF of 15 or higher for best protection.
