Cleanse and Soothe After Shaving
After shaving, when the skin is most vulnerable, rinse the face with warm water and use a facial wash that has a high
concentration of tea tree oil (a natural antiseptic that is ideal to help cleanse and protect from spots and shaving rash)
and witch hazel (for its soothing, healing and astringent properties).
Rinse with the coolest water that is comfortable and pat dry with a clean towel. (Don't rub! Just pat)
Finish off with an After Shave Lotion or Balm.
Shaving can remove up to two layers of skin. There is no other regular activity that does this, which is why it is so
important to use a good quality moisturizer after shaving.
An after shave lotion, designed as an after shave balm and
moisturizer in one, is the ideal way to replace lost moisture and soothe the skin. And, be sure to use one made just for guys -
these formulas are designed so that they are not greasy, absorb quickly and dry with a matte finish so that your face doesn't
look shiny.
Typically mositurizers made for women are too greasy as men tend to have not only thicker skin but also oiler skin
than women due to men's larger sebaceous glands. The best after shave lotions not only replace lost moisture and soothe, but also
have ingredients that will cool and refresh the skin.
