    Post-shave itching or irritation is one of the worst grooming problems men have to face.

    This becomes even worse for men with sensitive skin, who have to shave their faces regularly. 

    Trust us when we say, that if the situation gets out of hand, itchy and irritated skin can become extremely agonising. 
    Leave it untreated, or deal with it the wrong way, and you risk a skin infection.

    Some of the most common reasons why men get all itchy around the face after a close shave is when they have dry skin, or when they do not shave properly.

    We list a few easy and simple ways men can prevent, or deal with post-shave itchings and irritations, very easily:

    1. Shower Before Shaving © Pexels
    Okay, first up, you need to moisten your beard and your skin before you start shaving. 

    So, before you pick that razor, take a quick shower, in some warm water. If you can’t take a shower for whatever reason, wash your beard just with water and moisten it up.

    If you have sensitive skin and are prone to post-shave irritations and itches, we suggest you use a good preshave oil. 

    Look for something that is chemical-free, and also works in softening up your beard and skin. A good preshave oil will allow your razor to just glide over your skin.
    How about going for something like this preshave oil from Dapr?

    Now, the main bit, shaving. Frequently change your blades or cartridges. 

    As a rule of thumb, you should change your cartridge every 6-8 days if you shave every day, or every other week if you shave after every 2-3 days. 
    Get a razor with a good handle, and more importantly, 3 or more blades. This allows you for a smoother shaving experience and a closer shave. 
    Something like this awesome razor from MensXP Mud.

    4. A Hydrating Face Wash © MensXP
    Invest in a good face wash, that suits your skin, and is greatly hydrating. You don’t want to use anything that would dry your skin out, so pick very carefully. 

    Ideally, you should go for something that is soft on the skin, soothes it, has great hydrating qualities, and suits all skin types. 
    Something like this one from Arata.

    5. A Good Moisturiser © MensXP
    A really good moisturiser, something that suits your skin, and locks in moisture can be a godsend. 

    Pick something that is light on the skin, and gets absorbed instantly, and is deeply hydrating. It should also be soothing on the skin.
    Our pick would be the In The Clear Superlight Moisturizer from Phy

    6. Use Ice Cubes © iStock
    A really useful home remedy for post-shave itchy skin is using ice packs or ice cubes. 

    You basically want a cold press. Simply tie up some ice cubes in a handkerchief and massage your skin. 
    You can also use a cold slice of cucumber if you’re feeling fancy, or a single cube of ice, being massaged for a few minutes.
    7. Use Alcohol-Free Aftershave Balm Or Lotion © iStock
    This is something that people often skip, assuming that moisturising ought to be enough. Well, it isn’t, and you need something to give you that extra boost. 

    This is where a good aftershave balm or lotion comes in. Go for something that is free of alcohol. Your aftershave option should soothe your skin, smell nice, and keep your skin hydrated.
    We recommend going for something like the MenXP MUD After Shave Balm, thanks to its natural oils and anti-inflammatory properties.

    The Bottom LinePost-shave itchings and irritations may be excruciatingly painful and bothersome at times. That being said, they don’t need to be that way. 
    There are tons of things that we can do to deal with shaving rashes and itchings. A good pre-shave and post-shave routine, for example, works wonders.
    And remember, always use sharp blades. Old and dull blades are major reasons why men face issues after shaving.
