Men Need to Exfoliate and Take Care of Their Skin Too!





MEN love Clinage too! 
Why men need to exfoliate and take care of their skin

Although men traditionally spend less time caring for their skin than women do, they oten spend more time damaging their skin through outdoor activities and sometimes hazardous work conditions.

And one thing I have learned is that men love to feel good about their skin too. No harm in that, right? They have skin too. In fact, did you know that the human body has approximately 19,000 skin cells per square inch. Wow!

Many people do not realize that men who shave naturally exfoliate their faces on a regular basis. This is a good thing for men. The down side—those ugly, red bumps.

When experiencing irritating bumps, men should the hair grow out a bit before shaving again because shaving over razor bumps will only irritate or tear them open, leaving them vulnerable to infection (and probably not removing much hair in the process.) This goes for us girl too. If you can, let the hair grow for a few days and see if it breaks out of the bumps on its own. And resist the urge to scratch. It might itch, but breaking the bumps with your fingernails can lead to infection and scarring. Try to hold off and let it heal.

Use a product that's designed to treat razor bumps. Look for something that contains salicylic acid, glycolic acid, witch hazel, aloe, or any combination of these ingredients like our Clinage line. Visit www.clinage.com.

Finally, if an infection occurs, treat with an antibacterial cream. If you suspect that you have infected ingrown hairs, try using an antibacterial cream on them each day.
