3. Three Misconceptions to Avoid When Shaving for Men
While the frequency of shaving does not affect lifespan, improper shaving techniques can impact health. Therefore, men should avoid the following misconceptions when shaving:
1. Shaving Before Showering:
Shaving creates many microscopic wounds. If you shave and then immediately shower, the hot water and shower products can irritate the pores, leading to redness, itching, stinging, or even infection in the shaved area.
2. Shaving Too Close:
It's not better to shave as close as possible. The shorter the beard, the easier it can grow back into the skin, causing inflammatory reactions and leading to razor bumps and infections.
