Shaving Kits
For optimal shaving results, you can purchase a convenient shaving kit. Shaving kits include pre-shave oil, men’s shaving cream, a men’s shaving brush and after shave.
Some of the best shaving kits on the market today are from The Art of Shaving, Billy Jealousy and Anthony Logistics. By using a shaving kit, not only will you get a clean shave, but also prevent and relieve shaving problems, such as ingrown hairs, razor burn and tough beards.
Choose a shaving kit that is geared toward your specific type of skin. You can purchase shaving kits featuring products formulated for sensitive, normal, dry or oily skin.
Tips to Avoid Razor Bumps
The biggest problem that men have when shaving is razor bumps. Pseudofolliculitis barbae is the medical term for razor bumps, which are an inflammatory reaction surrounding ingrown hairs that result from shaving.
There are several things you can do to try to avoid getting irritating razor bumps.
* Use a facial scrub before you begin shaving. The scrub will help raise any hairs that are slightly under the skin and prevent them from growing back into the skin.
* Shave in the shower or right after getting out of the shower. The hot water will expand your skin, open your pores and make shaving easier. If you are not taking a shower, press a very warm, wet towel against the skin for two to five minutes before starting to shave.
* Always use a lubricant when shaving. Never try to shave dry.
* Use a sharp blade. Discard shaving blades after five uses.
* Shave in long downward strokes in the direction your beard grows. Reapply lubricant if you need to repeat strokes in the same area.
* Use product geared toward soothing razor bumps after shaving. These men’s shaving products calm irriation with anti-inflammatory ingredients, such as aloe vera. Do not use any product containing alcohol or menthol.
* Shave every other day, if possible. Daily shaving can irritate your skin.
How to Get Rid of Razor Bumps
If you find yourself with razor bumps, you will need to use some products to sooth and speed the healing of your skin. Razor bumps occur when curly hairs grow back into the skin causing inflammation and irritation. Over time, this can eventually cause scarring. So it’s best to avoid getting razor bumps and treat them quickly.
The most effective treatment is just to let your beard grow. Once your hairs are a certain length, they won’t grow back into the skin. However, not every man wants to grow out their beard. Therefore, follow these mens shaving tips in order to relieve irritation and help your razor bumps heal.
* To treat razor bumps, wash your beard twice a day with an anti-bacterial face soap, using a sponge or cloth to exfoliate the skin. This will raise the hairs from underneath the skin.
* Until your skin heals, use an electric shaver.
* If you must use a blade, do not pull your skin tight and only use a single blade razor.
* Wash your face with a facial scrub before shaving.
* Shave while in the shower if possible.
* Use a toner and moisturizer after shaving.
* Use an antibotic cream or product containing Retin-A on the infected areas each night before sleeping.

* Wash your face thoroughly to prevent infection.
* Soak a washcloth in warm water and hold it to your face for one minute to loosen the hair.
* Squirt a ball of shaving cream into your palm and spread it evenly over your beard.
* Be sure to cover all the sections evenly.
* Select a new razor to get the closest shave.
* Shave from the top edge of your beard down to your jawline in long strokes.
* Rinse your razor with warm water between strokes.
* Shave under you chin and neck by shaving from the bottom upward.
* Stretch your lip over your teeth to tighten the skin and shave your moustache area.
* Wash the remaining cream from your face with warm water.
* Reapply shaving cream if necessary and touch up any missed areas.
* Apply a toner after shaving to sooth your skin. Avoid products containing alcohol.
* Apply light moisturizer to your entire face.

Curly Hair Care Tips
Are you one of the countless, curly-haired girls that always wished she had straight hair? While straightening one’s naturally wavy hair can be beautiful, thanks to modern technology (or better hair products, at least), you can now have curls that cater to you, instead of the other way around.
Here are some tips for every Curly Sue out there:
* Don’t wash your locks too often. Try skipping a day to avoid stripping your hair of its natural oils.
* If you can, run cold water over hair at the end of your shower to seal hair cuticles.
* Gently pat your hair dry with a towel. Aggressive friction against your wet hair increases frizziness.
* Use a wide-toothed comb to easily comb out tangles.
* Apply a light leave in conditioner to maintain soft waves and curls. Try Hamadi Shea Leave In, which provides light, non-sticky moisture for your hair.
