Is it okay to shave a man's beard too often?

Some men feel they have to regularly shave their mustache and beard so that they look tidier and look younger. However, is it okay to shave facial hair such as beard or mustache too often?

How often do you have to shave your beard and mustache?

Quoted from DetikHealth, dr. Amaranilla Lalita Drijono Sp.KK, said that there is actually no limit to the number of times a man has to shave his beard and mustache. Each man may have his own standards for how often to shave, depending on his individual needs and comfort.

Dr. Amaranilla only emphasizes that the most important thing is the accuracy of how to shave and maintain the health of the skin in the area where the hair is growing. Basically, hairy areas need extra care to be cleaned properly.

So, if you feel that you can't keep your mustache and beard clean, it's better to just shave it often. But if you are confident and cleanliness of the area is not a problem, please grow your mustache and beard.

Pay attention to the correct beard shaving technique

Hair or hair on the face can indeed grow quickly. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, the average hair grows about ½ inch or 0.5 cm per month. Now, if you want to make the beard and mustache look smooth, you need at least once a week to shave the hair on the face.

Unfortunately, there are some men who just shave without using cream or moisturizer. In fact, shaving carelessly can cause irritation on the face, you know. Apart from irritation, hair can also grow inward and cause problems on the skin around the face.

But don't worry, the American Academy of Dermatology will give you the steps for the right way to shave without having to worry about skin irritation like the following:

1. Before you shave, wet the skin of the beard and mustache to make it appear limp and soft. This shaving shaving activity ideally can be done right after the shower. The reason is that after bathing your skin will be warm and moist. The skin is also clean after being clean because it is free from oil and dead skin cells that can clog your razor.

2. Next, apply shaving cream or gel. If you have very dry or sensitive skin, look for and use a shaving cream that says "sensitive skin" on the label.

3. You can start shaving with a knife motion in the direction of the hair growing. This is an important step to help prevent burning, burning, or even irritation.

4. Rinse with clean water after you shave your beard and mustache. Also, make sure you change out of the disposable razors after shaving 5 to 7 times. This serves to minimize the risk of irritation from the knife

5. Finally, store your razor in a dry place. This is to prevent bacteria from growing on it. Don't leave your razors in the shower or in a wet sink.
