Even if a man’s skin is not prone to rashes, acne after shaving can occur at any time. Overcoming this problem is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. The main thing is to figure out what causes the rash. Acne after shaving can occur for several reasons:
- electric shaver or machine tool. First of all, it should be understood that all personal care products are individual. Therefore, in no case should you be allowed to use them to other people. In some men, after applying the electric shaver, irritation appears, therefore, it is necessary to change it to a conventional machine (or vice versa). However, everything is individual. Some representatives of the strong half of humanity noted that after a week of using an electric razor, the skin gets used and irritation goes away by itself;
- Some shaving foams contain emollients that people may experience an allergic reaction to. Most often, it manifests itself in the form of rashes. What to do in this situation? Change shaving foam or get gel. If acne after shaving ceases to bother you, then that was the problem;
- hygiene products: creams, lotions, colognes. Today it is customary to use a variety of moisturizing and tonic preparations. The use of cologne is extremely undesirable, it dries the skin, causing irritation. Creams and lotions must be selected strictly individually. You may have to try several options before finding a suitable remedy. Experimenting is the best way.
Remember that acne after shaving is a skin reaction to irritation. And it, in most cases, can be caused by the mismatch of the product used to the requirements and type of your skin.

Acne after shaving is associated with the fact that during this procedure, along with the hair, part of the protective layer is removed. As a result, a rough mechanical effect is exerted on the skin with a razor. Blood begins to flow into the area of damage, which causes redness. And when hit on the wound surface of the infection, acne appears. To smooth out the negative effects of shaving, you should take a bath or shower before performing this procedure. Thanks to this, the skin will steam up and moisturize. For shaving, it is necessary to use a sharp razor and special aids to make the sliding of the machine much better. Soap should not be used to create foam. Shaving hair is recommended in the direction of growth.
