There is not a lot of difference between men’s and women’s ways to shave, so it can be difficult for men to know when they should shave using Microdermabrasion and when it should wait. If you are just starting out with Microdermabrasion, or have been rinsed off previously, then it is time to start shaving again. But first, let us look at why you would need to shave in the first place.
Shaving is always necessary for hygiene. Shaving will help to prevent irritation of the skin, help remove dead skin cells and dirt and reduce the risk of ingrown hairs. When you wake up in the morning, your face is covered with dead skin cells and dirt, which all need to be removed from your face before you can get ready for work. A nice warm wash cloth is often used for this purpose, and shaving is then required. Over time, the routine can become quite irritating, so you will need a better routine to avoid this happening.
Another benefit of shaving is that it makes the shaving process a lot easier to perform. Without shaving creams or gels, you will be able to buff the skin so that any dry areas are moisturized, and then buff them again so that they have a smooth and soft feel. This will also reduce the number of passes you need to use the razor. Shaving will make your shave last longer too, so it is certainly a good idea to use microdermabrasion often.
Once you have finished shaving and are feeling clean and confident, it is time to prepare for the application of Microdermabrasion treatments. Start by removing any of your facial hair with tweezers. It may take a few times to get it perfectly smooth and hair-less. Then it is time to place a face mask of anti-bacterial medication on the area to be treated, and allow it to remain in place for about fifteen minutes. This will allow the medication to work its way through the pores of the skin, and kill any bacteria that is inside them.
After the fifteen minutes are up, it is time to rinse off the face mask. In the mean time, you can also use a moisturizer. Moisturizers work to keep the skin soft and hydrated, and help give it the best results possible when microdermabrasion is used. When finished, it is time to get started with your microdermabrasion. Use gentle strokes to start out, and work your way up to more vigorous rubbing.
Shaving does not need to be an unpleasant experience. If you know how to handle the process correctly, you can get great results, and prevent yourself from having to deal with razor burn or irritation. Microdermabrasion is an excellent way to achieve great skin.
