Comment on How do I decrease acne after shaving my face?
Bazoogle@lemmy.world 1 week agoUsing hot water beforehand was what caused my irritation. I had a dermatologist recommend using a tri-head electric razor before showering with a dry face. I bought one for $50 a few years back and it’s been a night and day difference for me. I used to get pretty bad skin irritation, despite doing all the suggested things. It’s not as close of a shave, but my skin is a lot healthier. I’ve seen some people say they’ve benefited from only using cold water when shaving, but dry shaving has been the best route for me.

Didn’t realize that hot water can cause irritation. I’ll try doing it cold.
