Shaving with Acne Prone Skin

Shaving with ance prone skin and active blemishes can be very painful and difficult. Rupturing blemishes can spread bacteria over your skin and create more acne for you to deal with later. One alternative is to stop shaving completely, but you might not like the idea of impersonating Teen Wolf until your acne clears up.

Use the following techinques for the best results when shaving with acne prone skin:

Wash your face - Guys are notorious for not wanting to bother with washing their face. Why do you think you're struggling with acne in the first place? No it's not totally caused by lack of washing, but a good cleansing will do wonders for any ance prone complexion. For the best results, use natural skin care products that promote healing, rather than chemical based products that just strip your skin dry.

Washing before you shave will also soften your skin and hair, making it easier to cut closer to the skin. This will result in a closer shave so you won't have to repeatedly pass over the same area or shave as often.
Use a disposable razor - You will probably rupture some blemishes when shaving, so it's best to use a disposable razor that you can throw away after each shave. Using a new razor each time you shave will also ensure that the blade you're using is as sharp as possible.
Use conditioner instead of shaving cream - Sulftate free hair conditioner will soften your hair more than shaving cream and give your razor more lubrication to glide evenly over your skin. You'll also be able to see through the conditioner and watch out for blemishes as you go.
Shave clear areas first - Try to shave over the patches of acne free skin first. This could be the area above your lip and chin that you can carefully shave before tackling the areas that have a lot of acne. Try to get as close a shave you can without repeatedly passing over the same area. This will enable you to go longer before having to shave again.
Shave around large blemishes - Don't pass over large blemishes. Not only will this rupture the pustule, it will probably also hurt a lot. If you do rupture a blemish, wash your hands and use toilet paper to soak up the pus. Use more tissue between your fingers and your skin to gently pop the blemish completely and get all the pus out.

When your finished shaving, rinse your face completely with lukewarm water and pat dry with a towel. Then apply a layer of pure aloe jelly over your face instead of burning aftershave.

Aloe is extremely healing to the skin and will help soothe the burn and reduce the redness from shaving quickly. Aloe will also help calm your acne prone complexion, soothing your aggravated oil glands and healing the blemishes already on the surface.
