Hints on how to heal your freshly shaven skin
Below are hints on what has been found to work well in minimizing irritation after shaving. If you have not reviewed pre-shave and shaving please go back and read those.
- Aloe Vera works really well. I especially like a moisturizer that contains Aloe Vera in it. It will soothe the skin and keep it from drying out.
- Some people use ice to help close their pores as opposed to alcohol or an alcohol based splash. The ice does the trick without drying your skin.
- Avoid perfumed aftershaves. Leave the smell good stuff on the shelf and try to use a Aloe Vera based aftershave. The perfumes in those smelly after-shaves usually will irritate your skin more than heal it.
- Clean and dry your razor.
