If you can grow a beard β do it
People love beards β they are both a mark of masculinity, and a feature of many light-hearted jokes and creative exercises β such as the dying, glittering and bejewelling of beards. Menβs barber shops have come back into fashion and the styling and maintenance of a beard is the epitome of good menβs grooming. Whatβs best is that they remove the need to shave. This reduces the risk of creating breakouts and creating sores from cutting acne whilst shaving.If you canβt grow a beard, but can get away with stubble
Great! If your workplace, or your special someone, allows you to get away with some facial hair, I would take that opportunity and run with it. I certainly do. Whether it means waking up with no time to spare before work, creating the βscruffyβ menβs look, or simply not wishing to aggravate your acne, maintaining stubble is a great choice! You enjoy the same benefits as having a beard, but reduce complaints of bristliness or βlooking unkemptβ to the uncultured eye.If you must have a clean shave
Thereβs still hope! Clean shaven men look sharp, the trick is to achieve this look without causing breakouts. Hereβs a guide on how:- Trim first. Get your facial hair short (if it isnβt already)
- Open your pores β have a hot shower, or fill the basin in your bathroom with hot water Moisten a cloth with the hot water and press it to your face
- Apply SkinB5 Acne Control Cleansing Mousse and gently massage it into your skin before rinsing it off with warm water. This clears the skin and softens the hair
- Pat-dry your face
- Apply shaving cream. Seek out a product thatβs appropriate for sensitive skin
- Ensure you have a relatively new, and sharp, razor blade
- Donβt press hard against the skin, and run the blade gently along the skin
- Rinse your skin with warm water when youβre finished
- Apply SkinB5 Acne Control Moisturiser to keep your skin hydrated without creating breakout
