Shaving removes the natural barrier function of the skin and allows potentially harmful ingredients and micro-organisms to pass through the skin, while nicks and cuts open the pathway into the blood stream.Įven when using an electric shaver, the skin is inflicted with microscopic nicks and cuts (they don’t have to bleed), which compromises the integrity of the skin. Few men realize that the integrity of the skin is compromised by shaving.
You see, the integrity of the skin is vitally important to prevent harmful substances and micro-organisms from penetrating through the natural barrier of the skin. Some take it a step further and apply a moisturizer or toning gel after completing their shaving routine, but very few realize that taking good care of their skin is much more important than that.
Mostly they shave their stubble off in the morning, apply some aftershave and that’s just about it.
Generally, men do not take especially good care of their skin.
