Recently Started Shaving? Gently Treat Shave Cuts, Ingrown Hair and Razor Bumps
When applying cosmetic aftershave lotions or razor burn treatment you might experience a painful searing sensation. Every man is familiar with the feeling of what seems like a forest fire on his cheeks. This feeling might be caused by the alcohol contained in many aftershaves. The adverts all say that their product does not irritate the skin or cause burning sensations – more often than not that’s not true. Of course the skin will be disinfected and all bacteria eliminated, but is this worth the nasty burning and ugly redness on the skin?
Shaving definitely irritates the skin and may lead to inflammation of hair follicles that causes razor bumps. Those are pus-filled nodules which appear on the outer skin as white, ugly pimples sensitive to the touch. They will not disappear quickly; the body’s defense forces can heal them only within about 3-5 days. Much too long a time when shaving daily. The goal is to prevent the formation of skin irritations right after hair removal. This is best done with completely organic aftershave lotions.
Biological Aftershave
Let me explain how natural ingredients help to prevent razor bumps. When applied on the skin, they activate skin regeneration. Natural antimicrobial peptides that battle inflammations within the skin can induce the production of those same peptides by your own immune system. Bacteria and other agents, that may trigger the production of certain biochemicals that cause inflammation and pain, are eliminated and efficiently kept from reproduction on the long runs.
Natural enzymes clean clogged pores and sanction the removal of dead or dying cells found inside the hair follicles. Skin renewal is needed in order to clean out existing irritants inside follicles. Once the follicle is open and functioning as it normally should, it lessens the odds of the hair growing in at a wrong angle, which is why ingrown hairs form. The skin is left well moisturized, smooth and without the unpleasant rashes and itching. If applying any lotion at all to the sensitive skin, it should be 100 % natural.
