My husband's skin continually gets irritated from shaving, but I cannot convince him that he'd benefit from an aftershave.

Redness and razor irritation to the face and neck are common post-shave side effects for men with more sensitive skin and can contribute to unwanted, painful ingrown hairs. To help combat these issues and help calm and condition skin from the stresses associated with shaving, we suggest using DHC After Shave Lotion [Men]. Formulated with soothing properties, including cooling aloe and relaxing chamomile, it's a refreshing after-care solution he'll want to use every day.

My husband gets razor burn and ingrown hairs from shaving. What do you recommend?

To help prevent razor burn, I always suggest shaving in the shower. The heat and moisture will help soften his skin and facial hair. Also have him exfoliate regularly with AP Scrub [Men]. Fine granules of apricot seed polish away dead skin cells to help unclog pores and allow the hairs to stand up, enabling a closer shave. Equally important are replacing razor blades frequently and using an emollient shaving cream—water alone is not sufficient. Did you know that DHC Cleansing Foam makes a wonderful shaving cream? Once he's clean-shaven, all he needs is a splash of After Shave Lotion [Men] to calm his complexion and a dab of nourishing Face Cream [Men] to moisturize and soothe.
