Acne is a huge problem not only for women, but also for men, which manifests itself differently in everyone. For some men, the rashes become smaller after adolescence, but do not go away completely. For others, acne first appears in adulthood, especially after shaving. EAOMedia will tell you how to shave properly to avoid irritation.
To reduce irritation, always use a clean razor and a fresh towel. You can replace it with disposable paper napkins. It is worth adding a tonic with salicylic acid to your daily care: it reduces skin oiliness and fights bacteria.
If you notice that after shaving you get more pimples, try shaving less often or not too closely – sometimes this helps the skin recover. When shaving, avoid inflamed areas so as not to injure them.
If a regular razor causes irritation, you should try an electric one – it is gentler. For severe rashes, it is better to use a trimmer: it will gently trim the hair without touching the skin too closely. This method reduces the risk of new inflammation until the skin becomes clearer.
How to treat inflammatory acne?
To combat severe acne, your doctor may prescribe special products: benzoyl peroxide, retinoids or antibiotics. Azelaic acid has proven itself well – it relieves inflammation, dries and kills bacteria, says a source (18+).
Important: under no circumstances should you choose acne treatment on your own. Only a dermatologist will select suitable products and care regimen.
