Many men [and women] suffer from ingrown hair and razor bumps, both on the face, as well as other areas of the body. Natural regimens have been proven to alleviate these conditions and bring a balance back to the skin. Knowing which skin type you have is the first step.

A. Oily

B. Dry

C. Combination

D. T-zone

If you answered yes to any of these choices, you'll be happy to know that when you use a natural or organic product, like those with an herbal infused witch hazel base, you are helping your skin heal itself. When a product contains too much alcohol, it has a tendency to overdry and damage the skin. Contrary to popular belief, overdrying is not good for oily or combo / t-zone skin types. Overuse of alcohol is harsh on sensitive facial skin and puts your skin in overdrive. The cells are being attacked and they are trying to breathe.

A witch hazel solution [even with a small percentage of alcohol]made up of natural healing herbals will help tone and strengthen your skin, without damaging. Natural astringents and healing agents found in herbal plants like rosemary and chamomile can work wonders on righting the wrongs of stress and the environment. When going for a professionsl shave, make sure to use a reputable barber who is highly rated and practices impeccable sanitary care with his/ her tools and supplies.

Anissei Naturals makes one of the few organic aftershaves that works. It contains a finely tuned formula with active amounts of green tea, rosemary, eucalyptus, chamomile, tea tree, and peppermint infused in witch hazel and triple purified water. This aftershave is both natural and organic, using no chemical preservatives. It is made fresh to order and refrigerated until shipped. Though this formula can be left out in room temperature for extended time, Anissei recommends refrigeration to extend freshness and potency.

Make time for a skin care regimen that includes gentle cleansing, natural exfoliation, an aftershave or toner, a daily spf moisturizer, and an active collagen night moisturizer. If you care for your skin, one day, that distinguished look you get as you grow older - will only make you more handsome.
