Shaving is part of a daily or occasional personal hygiene routine, but it can also be a frequent cause of irritation, redness, stinging, dryness and ingrown hairs if the skin is not properly prepared and cared for. This is why shaving products, beard care and after-shave care are important for comfort, freshness and a neat appearance.
Within the Personal hygiene category, shaving products are chosen according to skin needs and routine type: daily shaving, beard maintenance, after-shave care, skin refreshing or reducing the feeling of tightness.
For men with sensitive skin, it is especially important to avoid rough shaving, unclean razors and products that additionally dry out the skin. If redness, stinging or tightness often appears after shaving, a milder routine and a product that restores skin comfort may be useful.

How to shave properly?
Before shaving, it is best to wash the skin with lukewarm water and soften the hairs so shaving feels more comfortable. The razor should be clean and sharp enough, because a dull razor can additionally irritate the skin and increase the risk of cuts, redness and ingrown hairs.
After shaving, the skin should be gently rinsed, dried by tapping and followed with a suitable care or refreshing product. With skin prone to irritation, rough towel rubbing and frequent use of aggressive products should be avoided.
Shaving, irritation and skin care
After-shave irritation can occur due to too much razor pressure, dry shaving, unclean tools, too frequent shaving or inadequate after-shave care. The skin may then become red, tight, sting or develop small bumps and imperfections.
Regular beard and after-shave skin care helps make the routine more comfortable. If ingrown hairs, inflamed areas, painful bumps or stronger irritation appear, shaving technique and tool hygiene should be checked.
Pharmacist’s advice
With shaving, the skin should be prepared and the tools should be clean. Do not use a dull or dirty razor, as this can increase irritation and the risk of small skin injuries. If strong redness, stinging, itching, painful bumps, ingrown hairs, pus-filled changes or a rash that does not pass often appear after shaving, advice from a dermatologist or pharmacist is recommended.
