Skin irritation after shaving
Signs
- Unpleasant sensations of burning, tingling and itching.
- Skin redness – either uniform or in patches.
- Peeling and dryness of the skin.
- Possible rash in the form of small nodules – a sign of inflammation of hair follicles.
- Ingrown hairs may occur, leading to inflamed, painful bumps.
Causes:
- genetic factors (especially in people with thin, fair skin, light or red hair)
- use of aggressive cosmetics that damage the epidermal barrier
- frost
- excessive dry air
- age-related deficiency of skin lipids
- chronic stress
Solution:
The right choice of cosmetics for shaving and care.
It is better to refuse alcohol-based compositions and use soft natural foams on a plant basis. Intensive moisturizing protects the skin, improves the glide of the razor and facilitates the shaving process.
After shaving, it is necessary to apply a special cream to the skin to soften and heal minor wounds.
Most often, quality cosmetic products for safe and pleasant shaving include such ingredients as:
- Coco-Glucoside
- Aloe gel
- Glycerin
- Allantoin
- Bee wax
- Wheat Protein
- Lavender oil
- Witch-hazel (hamamelis) extract
