Can the time a man shaves affect his health or even his life expectancy? I believe that many people must have scoffed at this question. The reason is that we also know that many factors determine the length of life, such as heredity, environment, personal constitution, habits, diseases, accidents and so on. Then, why there are rumours about the relationship between the frequency of shaving and life expectancy, and how is this?
Shaving is part of a man's daily care routine, but the timing of shaving can affect health and longevity. Here are two times when it's best for men not to shave. First, before taking a shower. Shaving before taking a shower may irritate the skin because the hair follicles of a freshly shaved beard can be irritated by the outside world, creating an itchy sensation. If men shave before taking a shower, then in the process of taking a shower, the follicles of the freshly shaved beard will be stimulated by hot water and soap, which may produce a feeling of itching and pain. Once this feeling arises, it is a torment for men and may even affect their work efficiency and quality of life. Often a man's beard grows fast, it also represents that his endocrine is better, especially androgen secretion is vigorous, so that often manly! Therefore, androgen secretion is strong, the beard grows fast, so the frequency of shaving will be higher. And vice versa, then androgen secretion is fewer people, beard growth is slow, so the shaving frequency will be less. At first glance, this seems to be the case, however, for those men who do not grow a beard, what to do? Of course, there are genetic factors that influence whether you grow a beard or not.
Shaving is also a study, of two time periods best not to shave, lest their "handsome" face leave indelible "war traces". First of all, the shower before shaving to be cautious. Steaming steam and soap, soap double attack, will make just shaved beard as the wild horses on the prairie running wild. They will create a wonderful "itchy dance" on your face, so you can not stop, can not laugh, can only dry your eyes there, waiting for the end of this "itchy dance". And be even more careful with your pre-workout shave. You may think that your beard will look more rugged and powerful when you're sweating profusely after exercise, but in reality, the sweat and oil produced during exercise can irritate freshly shaved skin, like a pack of hungry wolves pounding on an innocent lamb. It can become red, swollen and itchy, or become infected and inflamed. You may find that your beard is not too hard but too "active" to shave.
Having said that, some men may be a little puzzled, does the frequency of shaving affect life expectancy? This argument is not reliable. Although the male hormone secretion of people with beard growth rate will be faster and need to shave more often, this does not mean that their life expectancy is necessarily short. On the other hand, some male friends who don't grow beards don't have to feel inferior, your life expectancy can be just as long.
So when is the best time to shave? The answer is half an hour after waking up in the morning. After a night's rest, the body's various functions are in a state of vigour, and the beard also grows rapidly like bamboo shoots in spring. Shaving at this time can not only keep your face clean but also make the newly grown beard softer and smoother. Additionally, studies have shown that the longer the beard and the longer you keep it, the more likely you are to go bald. This is because the hair that grows over the mouth (beard) absorbs nutrients from the body, leaving less for the scalp. In other words, a good beard means that the top of your head may be starting to go bald. So if you don't want to be the face of the Mediterranean, you should always pay attention to your beard growth!
Lastly, I would like to remind you that shaving, although seemingly simple, is also a technical job. If you do not have confidence in your skills or a fear of pain, you may wish to spend some money to go to a beauty salon to let professionals help you shave. They will not only help you choose the most suitable shaving products and techniques for you but also teach you how to shave correctly so that you can remain handsome and healthy at the same time.
