Beautiful, smooth, healthy skin is not just for the ladies and it doesn’t happen on its own either. Getting your skin to look and feel great is not rocket science, but it does require a few essentials, particularly if you shave regularly. At Guard Shaving, we want you to look your best, so here are a few quick tips to help you get there.
1. Wash your Face with a Good Cleanser: Now we know you don’t need to hear this, but you would be surprised at how many guys skip this basic requirement. A gentle cleanser is all you need to get rid of the dirt and oil that can accumulate on your skin every day. There are plenty of great cleansers on the market to suit your skin type, so start shopping!
2. Invest in a Quality Electric Shaver: Obviously right? Get the best you can afford and as long as you look after it properly, it should last you a long time. Electric shavers come in two styles — foil and rotary. A foil shaver is made of a thin, curved metal foil that covers a cutting blade. While moving back and forth, the blade cuts stubble as it pokes through the foil. A foil shaver may have one, two or three foils. A rotary shaver, on the other hand, has three or four round heads. Cutters spin below the heads and cut off the hair. Although you might be able to find a battery-operated travel shaver for around $20, a quality everyday electric shaver can run from $50 to more than $200.
3. Make shaving oil your best friend: This is a really important step as it prepares your skin for shaving and gives you a smoother look. Of course we highly recommend Face Guard – with its scientifically formulated 3-in-1 Tri-tech anti rash system, Face Guard replaces old style shaving creams, expensive moisturisers & after-shave balms in just one easy application. Face Guard carefully cleanses your skin & softens the facial hair to prepare it for shaving. It then creates a barrier, lubricating your skin & protecting it to allow closer contact from the shaver, while active ingredients work to penetrate & moisturise, leaving your skin feeling ultra-smooth.
4. Keep your shaver squeaky clean: Cleaning your electric shaver regularly is vital because electric shavers don’t work as efficiently, and can risk being damaged if they are not cleaned after every shave. We recommend Shaver Guard for this purpose; it’s created in Australia with the highest quality cosmetic ingredients, Shaver Guard blasts away all of the unwanted hair left hanging around after a shave. Its anti-bacterial properties then work hard to break down stubborn skin oils or left over pre-shave products, to leave your shaver completely clean & fresh every time you shave.
5. Never leave home without applying a moisturizer with sunscreen: Men who don’t use sunscreen increase their risk of getting sun damage, which may result in redness, irritation, extra blood vessels and skin cancer. Try to use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher every day to keep that youthful look.
