Shaving Gel

About 75% of men shave daily. To combat stubble, the latest cosmetics are created every year to make the process more gentle and comfortable. Manufacturers of men's cosmetics present a line of shaving gels and foams for every skin type. Here are their features, advantages, and recommendations on how to use them.

How do shaving gels differ from foams?

These are the main cosmetics in the everyday fight against stubble. But which one will meet your needs? Before buying a specific product, you should familiarize yourself with some nuances. Here are the main features and differences between these compositions:

• Foam is a versatile composition that can be used on damp and dry skin. Quickly squeezed out and immediately foamed. The minuses are that it does not provide sufficient moisturization of the epidermis due to the low percentage of moisture in the composition, and it can be challenging to regulate the dosage.
• Shaving gels are transparent liquids under the layer of which all unwanted hairs are visible. It ensures smooth glide, which is especially important for sensitive and dry skin. Men with stiff bristles should pay attention to it: aloe vera and vegetable oils soften, moisturize, and nourish the epidermis and hair. It is more economical than foam since its consumption is less, but the price is several times higher.

Before choosing one or another composition, it is worth considering the type of skin. Manufacturers offer items for normal and oily, dry, and sensitive epidermis. They differ in composition: if alcohol can be found in the list of ingredients of shaving gels for oily skin (it slightly dries the epidermis, removes excess secretion of the sebaceous glands), then you will hardly find it in an item for a sensitive one. On the contrary, among the components are mild local anaesthetic effects and anti-inflammatory, soothing, and healing agents of irritation.

How to use

Whichever shaving gels you prefer, do not forget that you need to prepare for using them correctly. This will help you achieve the best result without cuts and irritation.

Here are some valuable tips on the procedure:

• Shave after showering: warm water opens pores and softens stubble.
• Choose the most quality compositions that work best for you: shaving gels, oils, creams, or soaps.
• After applying and lightly rubbing the product, leave it for a minute or two before using the razor. This assures you that the moisturizing and emollient ingredients are working correctly.
• To avoid ingrown hairs, guide the blade in the direction of hair growth.
• When you are finished, cool your face with a cool flannel cloth.
• Apply a moisturizing and soothing after-shave balm or lotion when you are done.
