How to use shaving foam correctly when shaving

Shaving foam is one of the toiletries for adult men. It can soften and expand the beard, clean the skin, reduce the pain and possible inflammation caused by shaving, and soothe the skin.

Shaving foam generally has antibacterial and lubricating effects, which can reduce the friction between the blade and the skin during shaving, thereby protecting the skin. Most people find that their skin may feel burning or stinging after shaving when they do not use shaving foam. This is a metal allergy reaction caused by excessive friction between the skin and the blade. If you use too much force, it can easily hurt the skin.

How to use shaving foam

1. Before shaving, you should first use a neutral facial soap or facial cleanser to clean the dirt on your face and beard, then cover your beard with a hot towel, or apply a softening beard cream on your beard to soften it. If possible, give your face a slight massage, which can help the aging cells on the surface of the skin fall off in time, increase the vitality of the deep skin cells, and make strong preparations for the subsequent shaving!

2. Shaving downwards in the direction of beard growth is the best way to cause skin damage. The steps are to thin the beard first to reduce the resistance of the knife, and then shave in the direction of beard growth.

3. Use the forward shaving gesture to roughly shave the beard, and then use the reverse shaving gesture to shave the unshaved beard thoroughly. Avoid shaving too hard at this time to avoid allergies and inflammation.

4. After shaving, wipe off the foam with a hot towel or wash with warm water, and then check if there is any stubble. If the beard on the throat is not shaved clean, it will be very glaring. You can shave it again close to the beard root. Use both hands to pat the aftershave on the chin and lips. Then use aftershave lotion or a soothing moisturizing product to moisturize the skin damaged during shaving.

Shower

Many people like to shave before taking a shower, but this is actually not a good idea. There are many micro-injuries on the skin that are invisible to the naked eye. If you take a shower right away, the stimulation of shower gel, shampoo, and hot water can easily cause discomfort or even redness in the shaved area. If a man shaves on an empty stomach, there will be fewer scratches or cuts on the skin. After a person eats and the stomach begins to digest food, the heart rate and blood flow of the human body will speed up. At this time, the arteries under the skin of the face and neck will have a large amount of blood flowing, and the risk of being cut and bleeding will increase accordingly.

I recommend Gillette men’s shaving foam, which has a good reputation in the market. It is suitable for normal skin and sensitive skin. The foam is very rich and can fill the shaving area very well, making the shaving closer, smoother and cleaner. The comfortable and smooth foam makes shaving easier and more comfortable.
