Shaving

Shaving for both genders is actually an excellent way of exfoliating or removing dead skin to help with the prevention and spreading of acne instead of leaving the remains to clog pores. And for some light acne cases already in process, shaving can help rid whiteheads and blackheads from the face. Aloe vera products containing 100% aloe vera gel are the most effective for soothing skin after shaving.

A word of caution: for areas with infection or high inflammatory activity (redness, sensitive, open acne, sores, etc.), do not shave. Or at the very least, use a shaving cream with aloe vera for sensitive skin.

For best results with regular shaving: Steer away from shaving creams that are oily and choose one for sensitive skin with aloe vera if available. Then moisten facial or other hair with warm water, apply the shaving cream and lather well. Shave with a sharp (not dull) blade.

Note when shaving, use gentle swipes instead of heavy pressure ones that can irritate acne-prone areas. And go with the flow or "grain;" in other words, adapt to downward, lateral, angular or upward swipes, for a smoother shave with less nicks and irritating backward motions. Experiment with different razors, both electric and disposable, with single- double- or triple-edged (mach III) heads to see which works best for you. And try shaving in a warm shower for better results. For after shaving applications, try toning to stop bacteria dead in its tracks before it gets into your open follicles. Here are some suggestions: aloe vera antibiotic gel or lotion, witch hazel, Dalacin T, a mild alcohol-free toner, Benzoyl Peroxide in gel form and Salicylic Acid in a gel.

SHAVING TIP: Electric razors may not shave as close to the skin; however, they help with the prevention of acne and other skin breakouts and flare-ups better.

SHAVING TIP: If a non-electric razor is your choice, a single-edged blade is actually better. Why? Because double- and triple-edged blades grab hair follicles and pull them out from below the epidermis. And in the process, your skin "heals itself" by closing over these holes, making it difficult for future hair follicles to grow outward - creating inflammation in the tight areas.

Aloe vera has long been recognised for its wonderful healing attributes when it comes to matters of the skin. Soothing toners or creams containing aloe vera will be a wonderful addition to your shaving equipment whether you dry or wet shave.

If you are looking for a completely natural way to clear you skin of acne, then I suggest you take the time to read how Chris Gibson (a 10 year chronic acne sufferer) found a scientifically proven way to permanently clear skin in just 3 days. His unbelievably easy, step by step process could see you looking better, feeling better with a renewed sense of self esteem in 3 Days. 

Let's take a look at how to combat acne. The main strategy to use is acne prevention where possible and better skincare. Here are several top issues of focus for each: exercise, cosmetics, diet, hormones, hygiene, medications, shaving, stress.
