Shaving Your Body – Is It The Best Option?

There are many people out there that hate body hair. I’m not just talking about women who prefer guys with zero-hair chests, but also about guys who prefer to remove hair due to aesthetic reasons and men skin care. Many of them resort to shaving; however know that shaving your body may not be the best options – at least in terms of comfort.

It is the cheapest option for body hair removal, I’ll agree to that, but I think that the inconveniences far out weight the benefits.

Shaving your body will more than probably cause those “accidents” we hate. To minimize them you can shave after taking a hot bath and use a good shaving cream, but well, you’ll have to invest heavily on shaving creams because shaven hair tends to grow fast. Read more

Ultra Shave Product Review

Here is one of the coolest products we’ve tried in the last months: Ultra Shave.

This is a men skin care product that is mainly a shaving cream, but well, it is actually more than that! In fact I think it acts better than a skin care product than just a shaving cream. Why? Well, it is also a moisturizer, a sun protection product and a mosquito repellent!

You see, you use Ultra Shave twice when shaving. First you use I as a normal shaving cream and then you apply it on your face for after care. IT comes in a nice package that dispenses just the right amount when you push it, a convenience that is really appreciated. Read more

Dark Spots and Hyperpigmentation in Black Men

One of the issues black men skin care presents besides razor bumps, are the so called “dark spots” or hyperpigmentation. These are pigmentation problems that appear when the skin gets damaged by a cut, acne or even by sun burn.  As our body tends to heal itself, the hyperpigmentation in most cases fades away over time, however, there are some cases when we need to do something about it.

What Causes Hyperpigmentation?

It occurs when there as increase of melanin in the skin.  Melanin is responsible for the color of the skin, so the more presence, the darker the spot will get. When the hyperpigmentation covers a big area, it is a condition called Melasma. Read more

Billy Jealousy Hydroplane Shave Cream Review

Winner of the 2007 Esquire Grooming Awards as Best Shaving Cream, Billy Jealousy will make other guys jealous of your perfect shave.

We were lucky to be able to have Billy Jealousy send as men skin care product to review, and I was surprised that they sent a complete bottle and not just small sample, sweeet!

The major difference I notice at first about the Billy Jealousy Hydroplane Shave Cream
is that unlike other shaving creams, the texture is more creamy and you can feel the small beads called microsilicone beads that help you get a smooth and razor burn free shave.

They also keep it simple by including natural fruit oils that help condition and moisturize your skin and beard. I love shaving with my Billy Jealousy Hydroplane Shave Cream and you can notice how your razor blade just glides along and it is semi-transparent so it makes it easy to style your beard as well.

You can buy your Billy Jealousy Hydroplane Shave Cream
for just $20!

Acne Care for Men

It can be hard to find specific information on acne skin care for men, it seems like the majority of sites only offer information for acne care in teenagers and women.

Men want to look good too. Whether it is at work, school or an important social event and having pimples can be frustrating especially when acne appears at the worst moment, causing you to lose confidence, and even orse, it can lead to development of acne scars.

Before you had to settle for using acne treatments such as clearasil or oxy pads but with the boom of men skin care products you can also find men acne products which are designed specifically for a mans skin.

All men want to look good, whether for work, school or an important date. And sometimes pimples can appear at the worst moment or make us less confident.

First of all, it is important that you follow a skin care regimen, you can use these products in the order mentioned:

1. Face Wash
2. Face Scrub/Exfoliator
3. Shaving Cream for your skin type
4. Astringent
5. Moisturizer

You must have a skin care regimen with skin care products for men if you want clear skin, otherwise you can just keep on putting up with acne!

Shaving Sensitive Skin

You might think that most men have tough and rough skin but it is actually the opposite. The majority of men have sensitive skin and more delicate skin compared to women. This is becuase men daily scrape of skin cells while shaving, causing razor burn, acne, razor bumps and sensitive skin.

This is what can make shaving a painful experience for some men, trying to avoid razor burn and ingrown hairs. So how can you get the perfect shave with sensitive skin?

Follow these men skin care tips to finally be able to enjoy a pain free shave and better looking skin.

Wet Shaving

Avoid using electric shavers becuase they can cause dry skin. Stick to wet shaving for a closer shave.

Warm Water

Use warm water or steam to soften your beard and open skin pores, and I repeat WARM, not hot, becuase hot water can dry your skin. Shave after showering and doing so will help you get a clean shave and also help your razor blade last longer.

Proper Tools

Don’t use dull or disposable razor blades, if you want to stop razor burn and acne then invest some bucks in getting a quality razor blade. Also, stop using cheap shaving foam, they do nothing to help your skin. There are tons of men skin care products that specialize in shaving cream for sensitive skin. These shaving creams will prep you for a smooth shave and moisturize it as well.

Shaving 101

Remember the golden rule of shaving, shaving in the direction of hair growth not against hair growth. Shaving against the grain can cause razor bump and ingrown hair. Also, remember to use short strokes and rinse your razor blade several times with warm water. Finish by rinsing off with cool water to close pores.

After Care

Most men think shaving is just about using a razor blade, shaving and that’s it. But if you really want to improve your skin and avoid skin problems such as acne, razor burn and ingrown hair then you need to moisturize your face. There are many moisturizers available for men of all skin types.

Put it All Together

So now take these tips and put it all together and you have the perfect skin care regimen for a man with sensitive skin. Sure you can say that using men skin care products is not “manly” and enjoy your acne and razor burn OR you can start enjoying a smooth shave and great looking skin by following these tips.
