Men, generally, don’t take much good care of their skin. They mostly shave in the morning, apply aftershave and they thought that it is all about the skin care for men. There are some men who take it a step further and apply some toning gel or moisturizers after shaving. However, there are only few men who realize that to take care of your skin is more than that.
Our skin’s integrity, as you can see, is very important so as to prevent the harmful substances and the microorganisms to penetrate our natural skin barrier. There are only few men who realize that our skin’s integrity is always compromised by shaving. Our skin’s natural barrier is removed during shaving. This allows the micro-organisms and potentially harmful ingredients to pass through our skin. On the other hand, the cuts and nicks are opening the pathways into our blood stream.
Though you may be using an electric shaver, our skin is inflicted with the microscopic cuts and nicks which is compromising our skin’s integrity. Shaving process is removing not just our skin’s protective acid mantel but it also removes the other most superficial layers of our skin including the skin cell layers. This renders the skin to be very vulnerable.
