Shaving With Shea Butter

By Dr. Robyn Tisdale Scott

Shaving can be a real chore, in both men and women with sensitive skin. With every pass of the razor, they create painful bumps and razor burn that only gets worse when they applying a lotion or aftershave. Some people have problems with this no matter how expensive their razor is, or how gentle and protective their shaving cream is supposed to be. Even if you don't experience razor bumps or burn, you should know that there is another option: Shea Butter.

Shea Butter comes from the kernel of the fruit of the Karite Nut tree. Most people have heard of Shea Butter, because it's becoming extremely popular and more and more people refuse to buy products that don't include Shea Butter. Why? It has been referred to as a 'heal all' for centuries. When you use this in the unrefined organic form, you are putting some amazing power into your beauty maintenance routine. Shea Butter is filled with natural anti-aging properties, vitamins, nutrients and components which actually protect your skin from the sun and the environment.

There are numerous uses for Shea Butter, and shaving is just one of them. When you smooth on this creamy and rich product, you are doing a couple of great things. First of all, you're giving your dry and tired skin a generous conditioning full of natural vitamins that your skin will absorb. This prepares the skin for shaving, and provides a healthy protection for your skin during the shave.

According to the American Shea Butter Institute, when you shave with it, you reduce the shearing force between your skin and the razor. This makes for a closer shave that is less traumatic to your skin. You might be surprised how smoothly the shave goes when you use unrefined Shea Butter. Both men and women call a product which reduces bumps and razor burn 'invaluable.' That's because it's so painful to have the bumps and burn that shaving can cause. Not to mention the fact that women find it more difficult to wear shorts and skirts with the little red bumps up and down their legs and men are often embarrassed by the unsightly and unattractive razor bumps. Shea Butter is an amazing product to use for all sorts of things, and shaving is just another great one.

Ingrown Hair Treatment Review

By Mike Jones

Ingrown Hair Treatment Description
A post epilating or after shaving solution which eliminates ingrown hair, redness, bumps and irritation caused by shaving, waxing, tweezing and other hair removal methods.

Who Can Use It
Both men and women.

How It Is Used
For large areas, spray directly onto the affected area.
For smaller and sensitive areas such as eyebrows or bikini area apply with a cotton swab.
Apply liberally and rub in thoroughly immediately after every hair removal session. Then 2 to 3 times daily until the skin clears.

When Results Can Be Expected
Ingrown Hair Treatment eliminates ingrown hair within a few days.

Where It Can Be Used
On any area of the body where hair has been removed.

The Pain Factor
Minor stinging may be experienced due to the alcohol content. The effect is similar to most aftershave products.
To minimize this effect for sensitive skin, allow 10-30 minutes after epilating or shaving before applying Ingrown Hair Treatment.

How It Works
Ingrown Hair Treatment mildly exfoliates the outer dermal layer of skin while adding elasticity to the newly exposed hair.
This releases the trapped hair from under the constantly regenerating layers of skin.
Ingrown Hair Treatment is effective for both the treatment and prevention of ingrown hairs.

Safety Standards
Ingrown Hair Treatment does not use Acetylsalicylate (ASA) to deaden pain like some other products.
Even those allergic to Aspirin can safely use Ingrown Hair Treatment.
Ingrown Hair Treatment also provides antiseptic and antibacterial benefits to skin.

Men's Skin Care: It's a Guy Thing

By Danny Siegenthaler

If you are 50 years old and have been shaving your face since starting to grow a beard you have dragged a razor blade across your face in excess of 9000 times… Yes, that much shaving and tugging at your skin combined with the irritations, nicks and cuts add up to significant need for skin care and repair. Slashing on some after-shave is not going to do the trick either.

“Men’s skin is quite different to that of women’s” according to Susan Siegenthaler, director of research and product development for Wildcrafted Herbal Products, Sydney, Australia. “The fact is, men’s skin is thicker and oilier than women’s and has to put up with considerable irritation from daily shaving”.

That said, Susan insists: “that there is no need to go over board and spend hours going through complex skin care regimes to keep men’s skin looking and feeling great. Three simple steps, followed faithfully, can substantially improve the skin’s look, feel, health and vitality”.

1. Cleansing your skin before you shave:
“First, throw out your traditional soap bar – it’s too harsh, dries out your skin and is full of synthetic chemicals which do nothing positive for your skin. Use warm water to wash your face and instead of using soap bars, choose a gentle cleansing gel to remove stale oils and dirt from the skin that doesn’t remove the natural protective acid mantle”, Susan suggests: “try a gentle exfoliant such as the Skin Renewal Gel from Wildcrafted Herbal Products, which contains herbs, essential oils and other ingredients to deeply clean pores, promote blood circulation and remove dead skin cells”.

2. Shaving
Susan suggests, “shave right after you wash your face, because the warm water makes your stubbles soft and easier to shave. Traditional shaving creams tend to be harsh on the skin and do not in themselves benefit the skin. They are designed purely for the purpose of shaving”, Susan explains. “The benefits of replacing your harsh shaving cream with a natural alternative, like the Vitalising Shaving Gel developed for Wildcrafted Herbal Products, is that not only do you lubricate the skin to assist in shaving, but you add vital nutrients and oils that are absorbed by the skin. The oils and herbal extracts contained in our products are designed to prevent nicks and cuts and sooth the skin preventing shaving rash, while at the same time nourishing and hydrating the skin”.

3. Tone and Moisturise
Susan insists that: “Toning and moisturising is critical for men. The shaving process irritates and stresses the skin and leaves it quite vulnerable”. “Toning closes the pores, preventing loss of moisture and invasion of dirt and bacteria”, explains Susan. The formulae of our toning lotions are all designed to re-establish the skin’s normal pH and prevent dehydration of the skin.

Finally a moisturising crème such as the Ginseng Hydrator for Men is ideal to help repair and give back to the skin what shaving takes out. It is a must for any man that cares about the health of their skin.
