Millions of men have sensitive skin, which is characterized by redness, irritation or dryness. If you've got sensitive skin, make sure you hydrate for three minutes before shaving (ideally during a hot shower) and wash your face with a scrub. Avoid bar soap, which can cause your skin to dry out and cause further irritation. Next, use a quality shave prep which can help lock in moisture and further soften hair. Make sure you have an advanced shaving system (and a fresh blade) designed to reduce the number of strokes the razor must take across your face to complete its task. Finally, use after-shave products that are specifically formulated for those with sensitive skin.
