Shaving and Acne

Anonymous
DS consistently has acne on his upper lip and chin, nowhere else. It occurred to me that it could be from shaving. He uses Neutrogena men’s sensitive skin shave cream and the Gillette Fusion 5 razor. What does your teen use or do when shaving to minimize acne?

Just have him use basic face soap/shampoo instead of shaving cream. After he shaves 4-5 min of cold water compress to close pores. After about 15-20 min very light astringent.

My sons used an electric razor during the teen years.

Tendskin Solution. Total magic.

They could be ingrown hairs. I second the tendskin recommendation…or something that exfoliates. OG stridex pads are great too

Could the razor blade be getting dull, so he just needs to swap it for a new one?
