Not using shaving cream? My skin around the Chin to Jaw area is really dry.?

I'm not sure if it's the acne product I'm using but that's the only place it's dry, so Im thinking It could probably be shaving because I don't use shaving cream, Is that bad? I only use water.

use shaving cream you idiot
Reply:Well yeah you dont have anything to lube up the skin! It isn't just for decoration...
Reply:Probably, shaving cream has built in moisturizers so that your skin will not get dry.
Reply:You have to use something to shave your face with!!!! Just water will cause dryness and razor burn! Use shaving gel or even hair conditioner, but please use something!!!!





No acne products they contain harsh chemicals and will dry your face out more.
Reply:not that much but should really use it


It feels good.
Reply:yes, since you aren't using shaving creme, then you skin can get very dry. The acne medicine you are using can dry out the skin as well. Shaving opens up your pores, and using just water actually dries out your skin more, therefore causing itching, flaky skin and dark spots.





Shave with a shaving LOTION, not creme. The shaving lotion will help repair the dry skin and introduce the best type of moisture. My bf uses gelette shaving lotion and it helps him a lot with his dry facial skin.
Reply:you definitely want to use shaving cream or gel. The Edge gel I use makes my face feel cool and no burning after I shave.





i'm curious why you don't
Reply:Yes, it sounds like the shaving cream. Dry a different company or ask your dermatologist.
Reply:not using shaving cream will irritate the skin. use both shaving cream as well as a good lotion for after shave.
Reply:I think sense your not shaving with something to protect your skin from being scrapped against and making it all chapped. That's probably the reason why its happening.If your start with something, maybe use something with out alcohol in it.so it doesn't agitate your acne medicine.?It also could be the weather too! hot to cold so fast?


?? I am surprised you haven't cut your chin-


when I shave my legs I manage to cut myself at lease once. lol


But hope this helps.
Reply:You really should use a mild soap or a shaving cream. If acne is making it hard to shave you might better invest in an electric shaver. It's pretty expensive (especially compared to a disposable razor, like $35-$95 or more), but it's much easier on your face. And you only have to pay once.





I don't know if it will interfere with your acne treatment, but I like Gillette Gel as an aftershave. The tiniest dab is all you need. A bottle should last a year and it really softens your skin. And the scent is pretty mild.
