Shaving and after creams from Nivea

Shaving Is a very traumatic procedure. After removing the regrown hairs, irritation, inflammation and flaking of the skin often appear. Shaving and after creams from Nivea will help to cope with these problems... The German brand produces a wide range of cosmetics for men.

The main purpose of shaving creams is to make hair removal less traumatic.... The components of the products improve the sliding of the machine blades and reduce the amount of microdamage to the epidermis. But creams have other important functions as well.

1. Disinfection... Products that include alcohol, silver, chamomile or witch hazel extract destroy some of the microbes. This reduces the likelihood of inflammation. Disinfection is very important for men whose skin is prone to the formation of pus-filled acne.
2. Removal of irritation. For many, after shaving, their skin burns and turns red. This not only spoils the appearance, but also causes discomfort. Pre- and post-shave creams soothe and quickly eliminate redness. Products with a cooling effect are especially effective.
3. Moisturizing... After shaving, the skin may become dry and flaky. The moisturizing components of creams save from this. They restore moisture balance and restore the healthy appearance of the skin.
4. Nutrition... After microdamage, the epidermis begins to regenerate. In order to accelerate this regeneration, it is important to provide additional nutrition. Nivea skin care products contain vitamin E, which is beneficial for healing. And also the vitamin gives the skin a healthy glow and makes it more resistant to negative external factors.
5. Fight acne and pollution. Recently, the Nivea branch in Russia began to produce a separate line of products for men with problem skin. It is mainly aimed at teenagers. These creams contain charcoal extract to cleanse the skin, as well as ingredients that prevent the appearance of acne.

In addition to creams, Nivea produces shaving foams and gels, lotions and balms after it. We will talk about which product to choose further.

To choose the right skin care product, you need to know all the features of your epidermis. Products for oily, combination, dry and sensitive skin vary greatly in composition.

• For oily skin... While removing the hair, you can use a cream or foam, but after that you should refuse such thick products. To remove excess oil and not clog pores, it is best to use alcohol-based lotions or balms.

• For combination skin. First - foam or cream, then - revitalizing balm. Lotions are not suitable for people with combination skin, as peeling can begin after using alcohol. After shave creams are too oily.

• For dry skin. Instead of foam or shaving cream, it is better to purchase a gel, as it contains additional moisturizing ingredients. But after the procedure, moisturizing balm creams or balms are suitable, as they deeply nourish.

• For sensitive skin. A gel is recommended for removing stubble. It is more expensive, but when using it, you do not need to walk over the same place 2-3 times, so the number of microdamages is reduced. After shaving, cream, lotion, and balm are suitable, as long as there is a note "For sensitive skin".

Navigate when buying the explanations on the packaging will also help... So, in stores you can find lotion from Nivea "Clear Skin" for men prone to acne, or 3-Day Stubble Shaving Gel.

A standard shaving instruction looks like this:

• moisten the skin with warm water to soften the hairs;
• apply a foam, gel or cream to the face and neck;
• shave off the stubble;
• remove the remaining foam with cool water;
• apply cream, lotion or balm with light patting movements.

But if you use shaving cream instead of foam, the procedure becomes more complicated. The product must first be diluted. This is done as follows:

• the cream is stirred with a shaving brush, for this you need to make circular movements;
• water is added, the product begins to increase in volume, foam forms;

If you are prone to allergies, first apply a small amount to the inside of your wrist. If there are no signs of allergy within 24 hours, the cream can be continued to use.
