What happens if I don't use aftershave? These are the consequences of not taking care of your skin after shaving

Shaving is the number 1 cause of skin irritation in men. The biggest stressor you suffer from and the one that can cause the most skin conditions.

In addition, one of the reasons why men's skin ages faster.

 

 

Surely you have noticed on more than one occasion that after using the razor or razor, your skin is tense, tight and sore.

And surely on more than one occasion, you have been more lazy than anything else and have left home as soon as you have finished using the razor with that feeling of irritation that has accompanied you throughout the day.

It is at this moment that you begin to doubt your choice. And to wonder what happens if you don't use aftershave after shaving.

Well, the answer is that you can suffer several negative consequences for your skin, such as:

• Irritation : Shaving causes friction between the blade and the skin, which can cause microcuts, redness, burning or itching. If you don't apply a product that soothes and repairs your skin , irritation may worsen and last longer, which can affect your comfort and appearance.

 

• Dryness : Shaving eliminates the hydrolipid layer of the skin, which is what keeps it hydrated and protected. If you do not apply a product that restores hydration and protection to the skin , dryness can increase and cause tightness, peeling or cracks, which can affect your health and beauty.

 

• Inflammation : Shaving can cause an inflammatory reaction in the skin, which manifests itself as swelling, heat or pain. If you do not apply a product that reduces inflammation and prevents infection , the inflammation can persist and become complicated, which can affect your well-being and your image.

 

 

• Infection : Shaving can open the door for bacteria, viruses or fungi to enter the skin, which can cause infections such as folliculitis, pseudofolliculitis, boils or cellulitis. If you do not apply a product that has antiseptic and healing properties, the infection can spread and require medical treatment, which can affect your health and self-esteem.

 

• Aging : Shaving can accelerate the skin aging process by exposing it to external agents that cause oxidation and degradation of cells, such as the sun, pollution or stress. If you do not apply a product that has antioxidant and regenerating properties, aging can become visible in the form of wrinkles, spots, sagging or loss of luminosity, which can affect your youth and attractiveness.

 

As you can see, not using aftershave can have very negative consequences for your skin, and therefore, for your health and well-being. It is an essential step in your shaving routine (link post shaving routine).
