How to prevent getting acne from shaving?
I only get my acne from shaving, but I absolutely HAVE to keep shaving because I look super ugly with facial hair. What are some things that I can do to prevent getting acne from shaving? Also, what are some foods/drinks that I should consume to further help preventing acne?
Shaving bumps on my vagina.! Help please!?
when you shave make sure you use a clean razor blade. No rust or any kind of dirt. The thing about blades are they must be key 1. Clean and 2. Sharp. If you use a old razor you risk spreading bacteria. 2. You have to first open up your pores before shaving. So always shave while taking a really warm bath. this will allow your skin pores to open up. 3. Use a good shaving cream or gel. Soap isn't that great. 4. Once your done shaving, use a good skin cleanser to clean bacteria or dirt on the surface of where u shaved. 5. Splash cold water to close your pores. This is what most people forget. When your skin pores are open you are risking ingrown hair from developing and possible boils from forming. 6. Get a good lotion with vitamins and moisturize the shaves area. This will cool your region if it has razor burn but it will also prevent dryness and itchiness which can cause discomfort. This should help you avoid those pimples. Also, try waxing. Maybe nair. Its SOOOO much better and you shouldn't get bumbs (:
How many times a day should a teenage girl take a bath?
Hey, im really sorry i have written so much but please try to read it all if you can, i think, or hope it will be very helpful :) so, Im not exactly a teenage girl, so i don't know how much this will help. It is important to shower/bath, it keeps you smelling nice for a start, so if you don't bathe, smelling bad is one of the side effects. Lol, but it also keeps your skin clean, opens up your pores and gets out all the dirt and grime. You should probably shower everyday every other day may be. I do know that you shouldn't bathe twice a day, this is because you will remove the natural oils from your skin making it well, dry and flaky, as this is already a problem for you i wouldn't suggest it as you will probably make it worse. With the flaky skin, the only reason im answering (not being a teenage girl as i said lol and therefore not knowing too much abut this subject) is that i myself have VERY VERY dry skin. Until I met my girlfriend i had the exact same problem you do! Anyway, when she washes she mixes brown sugar with olive oil and scrubs it all over her body then washes it off. We now both use this and i can really recommend it! The brown sugar acts as an exfoliate, which means it scrubs off all your old dry skin and reveals the nice new skin beneath (Do be VERY careful not to scrub to hard, it wont leave any permanent damage, but it may scratch your skin which will sting afterwards, believe me ive done it before! lol) But also the olive oil acts as a moisturizer. It really softens your skin and makes it feel amazing! This will even work on the really dry skin on the bottom of your feet! Trust me this works excellently :) As i myself do not shave my legs i asked my girlfriend for advice, she says that she find shaving creams dry her legs out so she rubs on hair conditioner to her legs, and shaves using that, then washes her legs off, she does suggest that you don't use the oil exfoliater every day as exfoliating should only be done once or twice a week. Although you can just use the oil to keep it soft imbetween. sorry about the sheer amount of reading you will have just had to do, but i have very dry skin too, and really felt for you, so tried to help as best as i could, of course my girlfriend does deserve most of the credit :) lol good luck with everything, but i really do promise this works well :)
