Guy Grooming Tips ~ Razor Bumps 411

A lot of my male clientele often have a problem with razor bumps or ingrown hairs (pseudofolliculitis barbae)and have asked me for any product suggestions or technique that can help.
Razor Bumps (caused by infected hair follicles) come from the end of the hair shaft that, after being shaved, is cut in such a way that again the end of the hair is sharpened and as it continues to grow it curls into another nearby hair follicle. This introduction of the sharpened end of a hair follicle into another causes an inflammatory response in the skin and leads to a pimple or bump because of the inflammation of the skin. My suggestion would be to exfoliate the skin first before shaving, use an electric razor and shave in the direction of hair growth.

These are my product recomendations:

Before shaving use Clarins Men Active Face Scrub, 2.6-Ounce
On damp skin rinse then shave. It removes dry dead skin clogging your pores so that you get a closer longer lasting shave. For those with stubborn hard stubbles you can saturate the area to be shaved beforehand with Clarins by Clarins: Men Shave Ease Oil--/1OZ I use it on my legs all the time and I love it! Finish up with Clarins Men Moisture Balm, 1.7-Ounce Box And you will feel the noticeable difference in the texture of you skin!
