Guys: Using the wrong shaving products?

Posted on Sep 22nd 2007 6:29PM by Rigel Celeste
Men have been shaving for thousands of years and here's an interesting statistic for you: the average man spends 9,000 hours of his life shaving.

That's a lot of shaving. And a lot of chances for razor burn and nicks.

But what if all those products you use to make the process easier (and to avoid the razor burn and nicks) are actually causing you more harm than good? Do you really need all that to get a good shave? Some doctors believe the increased incidence of skin and respiratory conditions like dermatitis, rashes, and even photosensitivity are a direct result of too many artificial ingredients and chemicals found in shaving products.

Consider looking for products that have natural ingredients you know (and can pronounce) like aloe vera, honey, and witch hazel, and avoid chemicals with obnoxiously long chemical names whenever you can. And remember this is something you use every day -- it's worth the effort to make sure you're getting the healthiest choice!
