Shaving & After Gels from NIVEA

The shaving process for every man is a kind of ritual that must be performed in order to maintain his face in proper condition. Some men do this because of the need to shave off their beards, while others simply take care of it and give it the correct shape.

If we talk about the line of shaving and after shave gels from this manufacturer, then this company has created a whole series of facial skin care products. This series has several interesting features:

• low cost;
• great quality;
• a large assortment that allows everyone to find funds for their needs;
• absence of chemical additives, as well as preservatives and unhealthy flavors;
• products can be used for any type of skin;
• a large number of useful substances are present in the composition of gels;
• sale of gels is carried out in containers of various sizes: 50, 100 ml.

NIVEA gels have several important benefits:

• accelerate the healing of cuts and wounds;
• easy to wash off;
• have a pleasant aroma;
• do not contain soap, which is why any gel will not dry the skin;
• allow the shaver to glide perfectly over the skin of the face;
• have a lower transparency than foam, which increases the visibility of problem areas;
• suitable for sensitive skin, as well as for problem skin that is highly irritated and prone to allergies.

If we talk about the varieties of shaving gels within the NIVEA MEN series, the following products can be distinguished.

• Shaving Gel. This gel can be described as revitalizing or soothing. It is designed for sensitive skin types, and its formula contains chamomile extract and a whole range of vitamins and minerals. These components make it possible to heal and soothe inflamed skin.

• Fresh Active Shaving Gel. Universal type of gel from the NIVEA company. Its distinctive features are good foaming and tonic refreshing aroma.

• Active Comfort System Shaving Gel. This is a great option for sensitive skin. It is enriched with vitamin E, so that the skin of the face becomes more hydrated and elastic.

• Active Comfort System. This type of gel is cooling and designed for sensitive skin. The product does not contain substances such as alcohol and menthol. When shaving, the product disinfects the skin.

• Shaving Gel Protection and Care. This moisturizing gel is perfect for any skin, and the presence of minerals and plant-based components will disinfect, heal and saturate the skin with useful substances.

• Silver Protect Shaving Gel. Protective type of gel for men. Can be used for all types of skin. Has a soothing effect on the skin, significantly reducing the possibility of irritation and rash. Distinctive features of this composition are the presence of chamomile extract, silver ions and vitamin B5. It is these substances that provide a calming effect.

When choosing a shaving gel from the described brand, you must adhere to some rules.

• If the gel contains silicone in its composition, then there is no doubt that the glide of the razor on the skin of the face will be good, which significantly reduces the risk of irritation and deformation of the skin during shaving. An example is NIVEA Ultra Black Gel, which is designed for good glide. And the presence of such a component as active carbon makes it possible to further cleanse the skin from dirt, which contributes to its additional preparation for the shaving process.
• On normal skin that is not prone to various kinds of allergic reactions, you can use a gel of the "Extreme Comfort" type.
• If you need a cream for acne, various types of rashes, irritations and inflammations, then the best solution for shaving is the type of gel "Silver Protection", enriched with silver ions.
• If the skin is highly sensitive and allergic reactions often occur during or after shaving, then it is better to use products that are intended specifically for sensitive skin and have a regenerating effect on it with a soothing effect. At the same time, for such a skin, it is better to purchase a gel that does not contain any additional components.
• If the skin has a tendency to dry out, then it is better to use a gel that has moisturizing properties. In this case, we can recommend purchasing products from NIVEA, which contain glycerin. At the same time, it is better not to use gels where organic acids are present, as well as ethanol, because they just increase the dryness of the skin of the face.
• When buying, be sure to pay attention to the expiration date. This category of products loses its properties over time, which is why you can buy a gel where the shelf life is coming to an end, and it simply will not have the declared characteristics.
• It is best to choose gels with a volume of 100 ml. This will make sure that you have enough of it for a long time and there is no risk that it may end at the most inopportune moment. For example, right while shaving.

Buying a shaving product is only half the battle. It is also required to observe a number of rules that will allow you to get the most effective and high-quality shaving result without any negative effects. Among these rules, the following should be highlighted.

1. Before the procedure, the skin should be rinsed with hot water. This makes it possible to soften it, moisturize it and prepare it as much as possible for the shaving process.
2. A small amount of NIVEA Gel should be applied to the face and then lather with your hands.
3. To remove facial hair, use a razor or razor with the sharpest possible blades.
4. Hair removal should be done with movements in the direction of its growth. Reversing the movements significantly increases the risk of cuts, as well as the likelihood of hair ingrowing into the skin after shaving.
5. After the end of the process, the foam remaining on the face should be removed with cool water. This will tighten your pores and begin the process of soothing your skin.
6. Dab your face gently with a towel to avoid reddening and irritation.
7. At the end of the procedure, apply a small amount of NIVEA After Shave Cream or Lotion and rub it gently over your face.

If we talk in general about contraindications when using NIVEA shaving gels, it should be noted that there are practically none. A number of products are designed specifically to prevent the occurrence of various facial skin irritations, as well as the appearance of allergic reactions. If, when used, a person experiences any serious allergic reactions that cause discomfort, then before using such a gel it will not be superfluous to consult a dermatologist. He will tell you whether you should generally use shaving gel in a particular case.
