After Shave Cream

The process of shaving is both necessary when it comes to external aesthetics, and harmful to the skin, as it can damage its upper layers and cause irritation. Any adult man is familiar with the blade, starting almost every morning with a special ritual, without which the face will quickly turn into real thickets. But even men whose skin is a bit rougher need extra care after shaving. What can we say about women who also face this problem when caring for their legs or armpits, preferring a quick and independent depilation process.

The main problem of hair removal with a machine is the contact of a sharp blade with the upper layer of the dermis. As a result, not only cuts can be observed. Even with careful shaving, the blade easily leads to microtrauma of the skin, which provokes the appearance of irritation. That is why the feature that the aftershave cream has is its action on the surface layers of the skin. In order to provide reliable protection against irritation, its effect must be as fast as possible.

In addition, in many versions of such products, a lot of additional components are provided that provide a more complex and strong effect on skin that has recently been shaved:

• Oil and other natural extracts, which soften irritation as such;
• Additional components in the form of gels, creating an enveloping and protective effect;
• Antibacterial action, which prevents the likelihood of infection with irritated skin with a blade;
• Wound healing components;
• Nutrients, contributing to the activation of the natural processes of regeneration of the upper layers of the dermis;
• Refreshing skin, thanks to which the unpleasant symptoms of irritation and itching after shaving are removed.

Separate cosmetic lines provide for the presence of aftershave creams for both men and women. They do not have so many differences, although it should be borne in mind that such products are made taking into account the peculiarities of the skin structure. In men, it is denser, but the fair sex has thinner and more delicate skin, and besides, they don’t have to shave their face at all.

Lines of aftershave creams have a one-sided effect, providing a soft enveloping effect. Such products very rarely have any additional qualities such as moisturizing, nutrition, the presence of flavors. Their main task is a refreshing effect, as well as an enveloping effect that prevents inflammation of shaved areas of the skin of the face.

In this case, we are talking about more delicate skin. Women's cream is designed not only to relieve irritation after the blade, but also to care for the dermis.This is especially important for the intimate area, armpits and legs, which are particularly sensitive.

Before buying this or that cream, it is best to read the reviews about it. Not every cosmetics manufacturer can guarantee the desired effect. Most men and women choose such products by trial and error until they find one that will completely satisfy them. However, first of all, you should consider your skin type and the presence of any additional factors:

• For oily skin creams are provided that help relieve existing inflammation. This type of dermis suffers from an excess of fat, as well as the frequent appearance of blackheads and acne. An antioxidant and antimicrobial agent is well suited;
• In case of dry skin The perfect choice would be a moisturizer.. It can be a cream with the addition of natural extracts, such as aloe or licorice;
• If your body has prone to allergic reactions or the skin is too sensitive to most components of cosmetics, you should give preference for hypoallergenic cream;
• For combination or skin prone to frequent redness and irritation best fit soothing cream. For women, the ideal option would be to contain natural ingredients like chamomile essence or green tea;
• Women should choose a cream that will provide additional care for delicate areas of the skin. Look for additional minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, oil extracts in the composition.
