Shaving Techniques

2009-10-24T08:12:00.002-05:00

One of the best forms of prevention is allowing hairs to grow well above the skin surface. The follicle opening may prevent the hair tip from growing into the skin. However, not many people are willing or able to grow their hairs long enough to prevent their ingrowing. The following are essential key points that will help minimize these shaving problems:

Washing the skin before shaving is helpful in exfoliating. Exfoliating (removing the upper layers of dead skin) your skin is indispensable when trying to prevent razor bumps, ingrown hairs or razor burn. Daily use of a liquid cleanser before shaving not only unclogs pores, it lifts the hair away from the follicle while softening the hair.

Shave with downward strokes (going with the grain). Shaving too close is one of the triggers for razor bumps, ingrown hair, and razor burn. The hair stubs are cut too close, get trapped inside the hair follicle and dig inward or sideways.

Use a post-shaving product that contains beta hydroxy acid: Acetylsalicylic acid, the main ingredient in the Imperial Touch Razor Bump Solution. This dermatological-grade ingredient is the active substance producing immediate; visible improvements for razor bumps, ingrown hairs, and razor burns. It disinfects, mildly exfoliates surface skin cells, which keeps hair follicles and adjacent areas of the skin clean and unobstructed.

Many people experience razor burn or other forms of shaving discomfort simply because they don’t take the time to properly soften the hairs before shaving. You need two or three minutes of soaking the hairs before you actually start shaving. Wet hair in the area to be shaved with a hot towel for 15 seconds before shaving or at the end of a shower. With the use of a good razor blade, hair that is wet through and through cuts smoothly and effortlessly. Hair that is not completely wet, however, can be as strong as reinforced concrete.

Cutting through such tough hair often causes hairs to be pulled up from their follicles as they are being cut. These hairs then retract below the flush surface to skin where they are at risk for curving back into the skin as they grow rather than out through the follicle. The forces required to cut such hair also can translate into more friction on the skin that can promote razor bump, ingrown hair, or razor burn. The key is to not dry your skin. While your skin is still wet, apply a shaving gel, Imperial Touch Medicated Shaving Gel. Wait a minute or two and then shave.

Shave with the skin in a neutral relaxed position. This is the best way to shave hair close but not too close. Sometimes the skin must be stretched very slightly to allow the razor to pass smoothly without nicking. Excessive tightening of the skin when shaving, however, tends to result in hairs being shaved below the resting surface of the skin. This occurs because as the skin is stretched tight the hairs actually protrude out a bit farther than when the skin is relaxed. Shaving over stretched skin may cut the hairs below the flush surface of resting skin, increasing the risk of ingrown hairs and also increasing the risk of skin irritation.

Shaving gels are important in the treatment of razor bumps, ingrown hairs and razor burns. A good shaving gel will minimize the friction associated with shaving and reduce the likelihood of ingrown hairs and skin irritations. In addition, avoid using double or triple-edge razors when possible. Satisfaction is always guaranteed.

Work to live - or live to work?

2007-11-02T11:20:00.000-05:00

Did you know that Work-Life balance cuts stress-related health costs annually ($344 billion)? Work-Life balance prevents costly errors and mistakes. And maybe more important: The right Work-Life balance gets your life back. Also, you have probably heard of "Burnout Syndrome". Like preventive care, work-life balance isn't on the radar until it is too late and things are unbalanced. Stress and burnout are running wild, and along with them health and retention bills - so why wait?

Many Americans these days work not 40 or 45 hours a week - but up to 50-60 hours. More time at work means less time with your family and friends - and less time for yourself. Constant stress will not only have a negative effect on your social life, but also on your health and mental stability. Eventually, you may ask yourself "Do I work to live - or do I live to work?".

For that very reason, we advise you to setting boundaries & stick to them! Here some tips:

Healthy diet, enough physical exercise & plenty of sleep
Do not take on responsibilities that are not your own. If it is somebody else's responsibility to get something done, let him/her do it.
If you have a contract to work 40 hours a week, then work 40 hours a week - and not a minute longer. Your private life is at least as important. Have fun with family & friends, take time for yourself - and enjoy your life!

Dandruff – Causes & Solution

2007-08-27T14:18:00.000-05:00

Everybody knows what dandruff is – either by having experienced it themselves or seeing it on other people. But what exactly is dandruff – and more important, how can you get rid of it?

Dandruff (Pityriasis capitis), also called scurf, occurs due to excessive shedding of dead scalp skin cells. As a matter of fact, it is totally normal for skin cells to die and to flake off. However, many people experience an unusually large amount of flaking, either chronically or as a result of certain triggers.

Dandruff can also be a symptom of other diseases such as a fungal infection, head lice, psoriasis, or seborrhoeic dermatitis. While dandruff is not dangerous, it might be associated with other skin irritations, and dandruff can cause social or self-esteem problems.

You can get rid of dandruff easily with certain shampoos and other treatments that will control and prevent dandruff. Imperial Touch Medicated Dandruff Shampoo, for example, is especially designed to fight flaky scalp build-up and greasiness, while relieving itching associated with dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. Another treatment, Imperial Touch Medicated Scalp Treatment, will also help to fight dandruff and other skin irritations on the scalp. Both products can be purchased on www.Amanady.com

Headache – Something to worry about?

2007-08-20T12:39:00.000-05:00

Do constant headaches bother you at work and at home? You may wonder whether your headaches are due to stress (both work-related and due to personal stress at home) or if it might be something else – something more serious than just plain headaches.

There are two primary types of headaches: primary and secondary headaches. Primary headaches (e.g. migraine, tension or cluster headaches) are not associated with other diseases. Secondary headaches, however, are caused by associated disease and the associated disease may be minor or serious and even life threatening.

It may be hard to distinguish between primary and secondary headaches, especially because the symptoms of primary headaches and secondary headaches can overlap. Here a few hints when a doctor should be consulted:

You should see a doctor if the headache …

Is severe (the “worst ever”)
Different than the usual headaches
Associated with persistent nausea and vomiting
Associated with stiff neck, fever, dizziness, blurred vision, weakness, drowsiness or confusion
Disabling & interfering with work and the quality of life

Those symptoms are not complete so in order to make sure you are not suffering from any serious disease you should consult your doctor if your headache is different than the others you have experienced before.

Get well soon!

Must-have Skin Care Products for Men

2007-08-14T13:50:00.000-05:00

You might think that skin care and skin care products are for women only – Wrong! Nowadays, more and more men realize they can look better and more youthful with having the right set of skin care products.

If you a First-Timer, you should need to know that the best thing that you can do to your skin is to clean it, keep it clean and to always moisturize. You might be overwhelmed with the numerous skin care products you find on the market today: Anti-wrinkle, anti pimple, anti-aging, bleaching, sunscreen, facial scrubs, cleansers, toners, creams, lotions, gels, and more!

Before you make a decision with what products you want to use, you need to know what kind of skin type you have. Most of the time, skin can either be dry, oily, normal, sensitive, or a combination. There are different products for different skin types. In any case, here are some basic skin care products every man should have:

Razor Bumps & Ingrown Hairs: Razor bumps and ingrown hairs are pesky problems that effect most men. To eliminate and keep away this problem, always use a post-shaving product that contains beta hydroxy acid: Acetylsalicylic acid, (Imperial Touch Razor Bump Solution)

Facial Cleanser: Choose a facial cleaning product for your specific skin type; dry, oily, combination or normal (Imperial Touch Facial Cleanser)

Facial Exfoliator: Gently scrub off all dead skin cells, allowing maximum skin moisturizing (Imperial Touch Stimulating Facial Scrub). Exfoliating also helps smooth any rough areas of the skin.

Toner/Astringent: A good anti-acne astringent with Salicylic Acid (Dr. FeelGood Skin & Scalp Antiseptic) will help tighten skin and remove any remaining dirt or cleanser residue.

Moisturizer: Moisturizers keep skin from getting dry. If you have oily skin, you do not have to moisturize everyday. Instead try to moisturize three times a week.

How much exercise is good for you?

2007-08-08T23:44:00.000-05:00

Exercise is not only good for your health; it also improves you feeling great and balanced. In today’s society we get do not get as much exercise as we should. We can do most of our daily tasks and activities without moving too much, therefore it is important that you find another way to get your daily exercise.

Exercising will help you look better, too. People who exercise on a regular basis look more toned and healthy than those who don’t. Of course, you shouldn’t get overboard: Too much exercise can actually be counter-productive and even harmful. Doing just a little bit of exercise every day, let’s say 30 – 60 minutes, will add up over time.

So what kind of exercise is right for you? That’s up to you. If you like aerobics and working out with other people together, why not join a class at your local health club or gym. Or if you are the kind of person that likes to have fun while exercising, why not choose a sport like tennis, soccer, or baseball, where you can move and enjoy yourself at the same time? With so many possibilities to stay active, fit and healthy there is no more excuse for not exercising.

Do You Really Need Vitamins?

2007-07-23T01:59:00.001-05:00

Vitamins are essential for maintaining a healthy lifestyle and for normal growth and development. If your body does not get enough of the vitamin in its food, or if you pursue a rather unhealthy lifestyle (e.g. smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, etc.) you may become sick. People who eat a varied diet are unlikely to develop a severe vitamin deficiency. It is also important to know that the human body does not store most vitamins. Thus, you should consume vitamins regularly to remain healthy and avoid vitamin deficiency.

There are 13 vitamins your body needs, with each vitamin having a specific job. Harvard School of Public Health has identified the most important vitamins for your body, what they do, and their optimal intakes. If you feel that you may not get all of the important vitamins, dietary supplements could help preventing vitamin deficiency. The Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research has collected some tips if you decide to take a vitamin or mineral supplement.

Is Hair Loss Stress Related?

2007-07-16T06:15:00.000-05:00

It is normal, that people lose up to 100 hairs a day. However, other people become bald in early life, and there are a number of reasons for losing a lot of hair early: Genetics, Medication, Diet, Injury – Even Stress!
That’s correct – your hair has a telling whether your body is in balance or not. If you are healthy, for example, your hair is more likely to be radiant and shiny, than if you are constantly stressed or living an unhealthy lifestyle. Unfortunately, in today’s busy world, stress can be found everywhere: Family, Work, and Money, just to name a few of the major reasons people are stressed.
Of course, the best way to overcome stress is to identify the cause, and remove it. Amanady.com prepared some techniques for you to cope with stress:

1. Have Fun
Try to look at stress in a positive way. Go out with your family or friends (that is, only if they are not the cause of your stress, of course!) Cheer yourself up – you will notice how many problems diminish in size.

2. More Physical Activity
More physical activities will not only help getting rid of those few extra pounds – you will feel more relaxed after having worked off all that stress.

3. Simply Relax
Relaxation is a really great way to fight stress. It does not have to be that expensive spa treatment, try to find at least 20 minutes each day that you can have entirely for yourself – Don’t let anybody disturb you. Remember: Those 20 minutes a day are completely yours!

4. Get more Sleep
Sounds simple? True, but the average American sleeps less than 6.7 hours. You should get at least 8 hours of sleep. Try it – you will notice a big difference the way you cope with stress!

Shaving Do's and Don'ts

2007-07-09T08:23:00.000-05:00

Shaving is, of course, a personal choice. However, if you decide to
shave you need to observe some tips that will make shaving easier and
more comfortable. Therefore, Amanady.com would like to present you
with a couple of helpful tips on shaving and Shaving Do's and Don'ts.

1. Avoid shaving your face the very first thing in the morning – Let
your skin wake up first! Then, use a facial scrub, like our Imperial
Touch Stimulating Facial Scrub or facial cleanser, like Imperial Touch Facial Cleanser to eradicate dead skin sells and open up your face's pores.
This should be one of the best preparations for a comfortable, easy shave.

2. Stubble should be wetted, preferably with warm water before you shave. Then, gently massage your shaving cream or gel into stubble. A vitamin and Aloe Vera based shave cream or gel will provide a close soothing shave and protect against razor rashes and burns. For best results, use our Imperial Touch Medicated Shaving Gel.
Imperial Touch Medicated Shave Gel reduces friction, minimizes nicks, cuts and scrapes, permitting a smooth, close, comfortable shave.

3. Always use a sharp blade. Using a dull blade usually results in shaving cuts, rashes and razor burns.

4. Even if you are in a hurry, take your time! Rinse your blade often in warm or hot water, and use slow, short strokes.

5. Shave with the grain. Shaving against the grain will likely cause redness, rashes, razor burns and ingrown hair. And, yes, they are painful!

6. After shaving, you should apply moisturizer to soothe your face. Avoid moisturizers with menthol or alcohol – even though they may feel good on your skin after shaving, they can be irritating to the skin.

Woman Who Suffers From Ingrown Hairs

2007-05-09T16:45:00.000-05:00

Here is an Ask The Expert Question:

I am a woman of color who suffers from ingrown hairs on the chin and under neck areas of my face as a result I tend to tweeze a lot and I get a lot of dark marks so what could i do to alleviate this problem.

Answer:
Read the following carefully and consider changing your hair removal method. You must address the cause of the bumping before you can successfully lighten the discoloration. Apply the Imperial Touch Bump Solution to the affected area once or twice a day after cleansing. Rub in well and allow it to dry. Then, follow with a 1% cortisone cream. This should slow down the bumping up process. You will also need a good skin brightener to slow down the over production of melanin in those areas and a full spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen that you wear on a daily basis to protect your skin tone.

Change your hair removal method. Tweezing and waxing trap recently removed hairs deep below the skin line, setting them up to become trapped again and again as they re-grow. Trapped ingrowns cause prolonged inflammation, bumps covered with dead skin cells, soreness, itching and a darkening if the inflamed bumps and surrounding skin. Tweezed areas become "hot spots" of chronic problems.

One method is to shave with a new single-edge blade in the direction of hair growth. Do not repeatedly go over the same area in a back and forth motion in an effort to get a closer shave. If the preferred shaving method involves an electric razor, try a traditional barber’s trimmer, called a T-edger or liner, which gives a closer, more precise shave that larger clippers. Avoid rotary shavers that cut beard hair at different angles, seriously compounding the problem. The skin should never be stretched to obtain a closer shave. When the skin bounces back, newly shaved hair will be situated, and later trapped, below the skin line. The same principal applies to twin, triple and five-blade razors; the first blade stretches the skin, while the second (third, fourth and fifth) blade shave way too close.

Depilatory creams and shaving powders should be discouraged since they cause chemical irritation that can lead to dark hyperpigmentation of the lower face and neck, sometimes called "shadowing".

Blend Method Electrolysis: Those with chronic "trouble spots" (often on the neck, chin or cheeks, usually where tweezing was performed repeatedly) might want to explore the "blend method" of electrolysis for their problem areas. The electrologist should be skilled and experienced in the treatment of black, bump-prone clients with curved, often scarred, hair follicles. The curved follicle, healing process, risk of scarring and hyperpigmentation, as well as inflammatory reaction to the temporary "trauma" of electrolysis can differ radically from other races.

Laser hair removal has become increasingly popular in recent years to gradually and permanently reduce hair on the face and body. It is important that candidates do their homework to steer clear of the risks related to lasers, especially scarring and pigmentation on darker skin tones. Unfortunately, lasers can't "see" gray, white or blond hair.

Laser practitioners should:
(a) Use the most appropriate laser (Cool Glide) for your ethnic skin type

(b) Be very well-trained in the use of that laser

(c) Disclose what that laser can and cannot do for you

(d) Be very experienced working with your ethnic skin type

(e) Be well-versed in pre-laser pain management, the importance of inflammation reduction, melanin suppression (to control discoloration), sun protection/avoidance, and be able to treat your post-laser skin.

What Is A Blackhead?

2007-04-16T22:32:00.000-05:00

A blackhead or comedone is caused by excess oil that mixes with dead skin cells forming a thick, sticky substance. A blackhead or an open comedone looks like a large, dark pore. The black in a blackhead isn't dirt. It's dried oil and the skin cells that gather in the opening of hair follicles.

A whitehead or closed comedone, has skin growing over its opening and looks like a small, hard white bump. You can often get blackheads and whiteheads from using oil-based makeup and hair-care products. A lot of sweating and humidity also causes them.

Treatments:

Products with salicylic acid work well; Dr. FeelGood Skin & Scalp Antiseptic and Imperial Touch Razor Bump Solution. Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA). BHAs, in addition to exfoliating the top layer of skin, brighten dull skin and clean out clogged pores by getting into the oil glands and breaking down dead skin cells to target blackheads.

Facials is another way to treat blackheads. A facial cleans, exfoliates and nourishes the skin.

What NOT to Do:

Self-extracting. One false move, and you could end up with an infected cyst. If you're desperate and feel you have to take matters into your own hands, do it after a hot shower, when pores are soft and dilated. Apply gentle, even pressure around the pore using a comedone extractor - available at drugstores. But extractions are only a quick fix.

Dull, Dry, Brittle Hair Remedy

2007-04-16T16:30:00.000-05:00

There are some of us who fail in the basics of hair care. Thus ending up with dull, dry, brittle hair. In order to have sleek, shiny , beautiful hair you must be quite dedicated.
A shiny head of hair means that the scales of the cuticle, the protective covering of each hair strand, are smooth and flat against the hair shaft. Intact cuticle cells are flat,smooth and glossy. Shine is created when light is reflected across the cuticles. A smooth hair cuticle looks like a roof with all the shingles lying flat, however day-to-day styling, heat processing, and coloring cause those shingles to lift.
The best reflection occurs when the cuticles have a healthy coating of sebum, which is natural hair oil. Dull hair that doesn’t shine is usually lacking in the necessary moisture to reflect light. Hair that is deficient in moisture and natural oils will absorb the light rather than reflect it. Sebum can be damaged or completely striped from the hair due to a wide range of internal and external
factors including hormonal imbalances, harsh shampoo formulas, chemical processing, improper use of hot styling tools, weather and the environment.
A hidden shine stealer can also be located in your faucet. Mineral loaded hard water can build up on the unsuspecting cuticles. Hard water is a fact in 85% of American homes according to the U.S. Geological Survey. If you have tried everything to increase your shine with limited results, consider that your water may be causing your lifeless hair. When in doubt try using bottled water
for a few days for your final rinse. Let the results speak for themselves.
You should notice an improvement to your hair by following these basics of hair care tips:
1. Shampoo as often as necessary according to your hair type. Use a moisture enhancing shampoo that strives to maintain your hair’s natural oil mantle; Dr. FeelGood Silk Protein Shampoo.
2. Condition often. Do it every time you shampoo. Choose nutrient-rich conditioner which moisturizes and fill in tiny cracks in the hair shaft; Dr. FeelGood Conditioner .
3. Gently pat hair dry, never pull or rub with coarse towels. Wet hair is fragile, and any friction will rough up the cuticle.
4. Get glossy. Make sure that your shine serum is water soluble--look for cyclomethicone on the label; Dr. FeelGood Hair Polish. Glossiers help restore shine and balance hair.
If done regularly these hair care tips will help condition, moisten the hair along with providing a remarkable shine.

How To Prevent Razor Bumps

2007-03-08T00:45:00.000-05:00

Description:
Razor bumps, also known as PFB (Pseudofolliculitis barbae) refers to a persistent inflammation caused by shaving. Razor bumps are small, irritated bumps on the skin that develop after shaving when strands of hair curl back on themselves and grow into the skin.

Prevention & Treatment:
To reduce your chance of suffering from razor bumps you may want to take a look at the following steps to prevent razor bumps: - Ensure to get your hair very wet before shaving - Really work the shaving cream into your skin or scalp for at least 2 minutes and save areas that tend to develop razor bumps for last, so that the shaving cream has longer to soften the hair.

Shave with the grain, not against it - Replace your blade regularly - Don't stretch out your skin while shaving - Use moisturizer after shaving. More Shaving Techniques.

Do you have dry, itchy, flaky scalp?

2007-02-14T20:03:00.000-05:00

Definition:
Dandruff is an itchy, annoying persistent skin disorder of the scalp. Dandruff is the common name for a mild form of seborrheic dermatitis. It is a harmless scalp condition in which the shedding of dead skin cells occurs at an unusually fast rate.

Signs and Symptons:
Common signs and symptoms of dandruff include an unmistakable white, oily looking flakes of dead skin that dot your hair and shoulders and an itchy, scaling scalping scalp. Your scalp can be either excessively dry or oily. Seborrheic dermatitis is a disease that causes flaking of the skin. It usually affects the scalp. In adolescents and adults, it is commonly called "dandruff." In babies, it is known as "cradle cap." It may strike the eyebrow and hairline areas, the sides of the nose, the ears, and the central chest. Seborrheic dermatitis usually causes the skin to look a little greasy and scaly or flaky.

Cause:
The exact cause isn't known. Today most skin specialists agree that dandruff is associated with a tiny fungus called pityrosporum ovale, or P.ovale. This fungus lives on our bodies and scalp all the time, usually without causing a problem. However for some people it can get out of control, leading to dandruff. The skin normally renews itself by shedding every tweny-four days, allowing new, healthy cells to emerge. However, sometimes the process accelerates, causing more cells to shed faster as flakes. For reasons that are as yet unclear, the fungus grows out of control, causing irritation that actually speeds up cell turnover on the scalp. As a result, the normal process of cell turnover, which usually takes a month, may take less than two weeks. When out-of-control the fungus irritates the scalp. Many dead cells are shed at the same time. When they mix with the oil from the hair follicles, they tend to form greasy clumps big enough to be clearly visible to the naked eye.

Treatment/Solution:
Although there is no known cure for dandruff. Dandruff is a chronic condition that can almost always be controlled. In general, mild cases can often be helped by daily cleansing with a shampoo that reduce oiliness and cell buildup. Use an antidandruff shampoo with zinc pyrithione, Imperial Touch Medicated Dandruff Shampoo. Zinc Pyrithione contains an antibacterial and antifungal agent which has been shown to slow the creation of new skin cells on the scalp and/or chloroxine to help kill microorganisms, that causes dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. Anti-Dandruff products containing salicylic acid. (Dr. FeelGood Skin & Scalp Antiseptic) Salicylic Acid acts as a "scalp scrub" eliminating scaling. However it may leave your scalp dry, leading to more flaking. Use a conditioner, Dr. FeelGood Moisturizing Conditioner, after shampooing to help counter dryness. Try using shampoo daily until your dandruff is controlled. Then cut back to two or three times a week. Be sure to leave the shampoo on for at least five minutes; this allows the ingredients time to work.

Must Have Skin Care Products

2007-02-13T18:08:00.000-05:00

Many times, perception is taken from a mere glance at one's face. It's an extension of our personality. A well looked after face not only attracts attention, it fosters admiration and confidence in a person. A daily regimen that consists of cleansing, exfoliating, toning and moisturizing is a must. The following is a list of essential skin care products everyone should have:

Facial Cleanser: Choose a facial cleaning product for your specific skin type; dry, oily, combination or normal (Imperial Touch Facial Cleanser)

Facial Exfoliator: Gently scrub off all dead skin cells, allowing maximum skin moisturizing (Imperial Touch Stimulating Facial Scrub). Exfoliating also helps smooth any rough areas of the skin.

Toner/Astringent: A good anti-acne astringent with Salicylic Acid (Dr. FeelGood Skin & Scalp Antiseptic) will help tighten skin and remove any remaining dirt or cleanser residue.

Moisturizer: Moisturizers keep skin from getting dry. If you have oily skin, you do not have to moisturize everyday. Instead try to moisturize three times a week.

How To Properly Wash Your Face

2007-02-07T15:16:00.000-05:00

Learning how to properly wash your face is not just for pre-schoolers. If not done correctly, it can cause great damage to skin. Before getting started - understand you cannot wash away acne or razor bumps with hot water and a rough washcloth. Washing only removes oils from the skin’s surface, not from within the plugged ducts. And scrubbing your face may actually make things worse causing irritation to skin and pores. Wash face with hands, as gently as possible. Be mindful of over washing. Over washing your face will stimulate sebaceous glands to produce more sebum.

Cleaning Face Properly:
Thouroughly Wash Hands - Washing hands reduces the likelihood of spreading bacteria to the face.

Wet Face - Splash warm water to face with hands.

Apply Cleanser/Facial Scrub - Use Imperial Touch Facial Cleanser or Imperial Touch Stimulating Facial Scrub . Follow label instructions. Apply recommended amount of cleanser to face. Using fingertips, gently work cleanser into skin using a circular motion; paying particular attention to hairline and neck (acne zones).

Rinse Well - Splash with warm water until there is no redidue left on skin.

Dry Face - Use a clean towel. Gently blot face. Never rub, as you could irritate skin. After blotting with towel, allow skin to air dry at least 15-30 minutes.

To maximize these skin care benefits, wash face twice a day (morning/night).

How To Properly Shave

2006-01-13T16:06:00.000-05:00

Many people shave against the grain, thinking they will get a closer shave. While this may be true, this also causes razor burns. Shave in the same direction your hair grows, (going with the grain). The objective is to angle the razor at 90 degrees. This shaving technique cuts the hair in an effortless fashion nipping the hairs at the grain and not against it. Shaving in the same direction, will also result in less pull on the hairs and less tendency to cut them too short. Hairs cut too short are at risk of curling into the skin causing razor bumps and ingrown hairs.

The Reason for Ingrown Hairs or Razor Bumps

2006-01-11T23:48:00.000-05:00

1. Razor Bumps occur when the hair follicle becomes injured by shaving or waxing. These methods cause razor bumps by damaging the opening of the follicle, so there is no clear opening for the hair to grow.
2. Razor Bumps can also occur when the hair follicle becomes obstructed. Excess oil produced by the Sebaceous Gland can form a plug forcing hair to grow in or out to the sides.
3. People with curlier hair are more likely to produce razor bumps because the hair is less likely to grow straight.

Reasons and Preventions of Razor Bumps

2006-01-10T14:01:00.000-05:00

Our Imperial Touch Razor Bump Solution is a post-shaving product f ormulated to treat razor bumps, ingrown hairs and irritated skin. You will see visible results within 48 hours because of an active ingredient in our razor bump solution. Razor bumps are common to to men who shave. You get razor bumps by shaving too close to the skin. To prevent razor bumps, you can either allow your hair to grow well above the skin surface.

Shaving Tips

2006-01-02T12:37:00.000-05:00

Pre-Shaving Techniques:
Many people experience razor burn or other forms of shaving discomfort simply because they don’t take the time to properly soften the hairs before shaving. You need two or three minutes of soaking the hairs before you actually start shaving. Wet hair in the area to be shaved with a hot towel for 15 seconds before shaving or at the end of a shower. With the use of a good razor blade, hair that is wet through and through cuts smoothly and effortlessly. Hair that is not completely wet, however, can be as strong as reinforced concrete.

Cutting through such tough hair often causes hairs to be pulled up from their follicles as they are being cut. These hairs then retract below the flush surface to skin where they are at risk for curving back into the skin as they grow rather than out through the follicle. The forces required to cut such hair also can translate into more friction on the skin that can promote razor bump, ingrown hair, or razor burn. The key is to not dry your skin. While your skin is still wet, apply a shaving gel, Imperial Touch Medicated Shaving Gel. Wait a minute or two and then shave.

Shaving Direction:
Many people shave against the grain, thinking they will get a closer shave. While this may be true, this also causes razor burns. Shave in the same direction your hair grows, (going with the grain). The objective is to angle the razor at 90 degrees. This shaving technique cuts the hair in an effortless fashion nipping the hairs at the grain and not against it. Shaving in the same direction, will also result in less pull on the hairs and less tendency to cut them too short. Hairs cut too short are at risk of curling into the skin causing razor bumps and ingrown hairs.

Minimize repeat shaving strokes
Going over and over the same area may result in hairs cut too short. Repeated shaving strokes increase the risk of razor bumps, ingrown hairs, or razor burns. It is best to shave with just enough overlap to avoid skipping areas. Use short strokes. With long strokes, you tend to press down harder. This causes friction resulting in razor burns.

Skin Position:
Shave with the skin in a neutral relaxed position. This is the best way to shave hair close but not too close. Sometimes the skin must be stretched very slightly to allow the razor to pass smoothly without nicking. Excessive tightening of the skin when shaving, however, tends to result in hairs being shaved below the resting surface of the skin. This occurs because as the skin is stretched tight the hairs actually protrude out a bit farther than when the skin is relaxed. Shaving over stretched skin may cut the hairs below the flush surface of resting skin, increasing the risk of ingrown hairs and also increasing the risk of skin irritation.

Shaving Gel:
Shaving gels are important in the treatment of razor bumps, ingrown hairs and razor burns. A good shaving gel will minimize the friction associated with shaving and reduce the likelihood of ingrown hairs and skin irritations. In addition, avoid using double or triple-edge razors when possible.

Prevent Razor Bumps, Ingrown Hairs, Razor Burns

2006-01-02T12:33:00.000-05:00

One of the best forms of prevention is allowing hairs to grow well above the skin surface. The follicle opening may prevent the hair tip from growing into the skin. However, not many people are willing or able to grow their hairs long enough to prevent their ingrowing. The following are essential key points that will help minimize these shaving problems:

Washing the skin before shaving is helpful in exfoliating. Exfoliating (removing the upper layers of dead skin) your skin is indispensable when trying to prevent razor bumps, ingrown hairs or razor burn. Daily use of a liquid cleanser before shaving not only unclogs pores, it lifts the hair away from the follicle while softening the hair.

Shave with downward strokes (going with the grain). Shaving too close is one of the triggers for razor bump, ingrown hair, and razor burn. The hair stubs are cut too close, get trapped inside the hair follicle and dig inward or sideways.

Use a post-shaving product that contains beta hydroxy acid: Acetylsalicylic acid, the main ingredient in the Imperial Touch Razor Bump Solution. This dermatological-grade ingredient is the active substance producing immediate; visible improvements for razor bumps, ingrown hairs, and razor burns. It disinfects, mildly exfoliates surface skin cells, which keeps hair follicles and adjacent areas of the skin clean and unobstructed.

What Are Razor Bumps

2006-01-02T12:29:00.000-05:00

Razor bumps and ingrown hairs on the bearded skin are medically referred to as pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB). Razor Bumps are caused by the end of the hair shaft being cut in such a way, as the hair continues to grow it curls into another nearby hair follicle. This introduction of the sharpened end of a hair follicle into another causes an inflammatory response in the skin and leads to a pimple or bump.

Women Can Get Razor Bumps

2005-12-29T00:15:00.000-05:00

Women can get razor bumps. However, these shaving problems are most common among men, in particular or in people with curly hair. Razor bumps appear when hair curls and grows back into the skin. Women who shave their bikini area, underarm and eyebrows can experience razor bumps.

The body's immune system recognizes the hair as an intruder and attacks it, creating red, inflamed areas. Treating razor bumps involves letting the hair grow without shaving for 3 - 4 weeks. You can also use our Imperial Touch Razor Bump Solution to treat razor bumps. Our Imperial Solution has an active substance that produces immediate and visible improvements on razor bumps.
