Needless to say, it is important to maintain good hygiene habits. Habits that must be present in every aspect of our body, teeth, intimate area, feet, hair and what brings us together today, the beard. Believe that the beard is not very prone to acquiring infections, so as a man, we should take care of it very well. Keep in mind that the beard is present on our face, so its carelessness directly affects your attractiveness or beauty. That is why today we are going to share some tips and advice to take care of the beard and avoid infections.

And since I’ve commented on infections, let’s talk about the beautiful incarnates, the number one enemy of beards. This is a condition that many men have gone through or are suffering from, and its causes are varied. The beautiful incarnate produce certain pimples or pimples that usually generate irritation and itching, especially when we just shave. This obviously affects us in many ways, not only because of the pain, but because of the aesthetic part. An infection of this type looks quite unpleasant and grotesque, so it should be avoided at all costs.

Knowing that we invite you to stay until the end, because not only will I tell you what the beautiful incarnates cause, but I will provide some tips to prevent and solve it.

Main causes of infections in the beard

I will begin by explaining what are the main causes or origins of infections in the beard (or beautiful incarnate). So that from the moment you read them, you stop committing it:

Shave your beard dry.

Either in a hurry, because we ran out of shaving foam, or because we simply think we are barbaric. Dry shaving is fatal to the health of our beard. Not only because doing so our skin becomes much more sensitive (because it is more susceptible and hurts more to direct contact with the leaf) but it becomes even dangerous if we make a bad cut.

The most obvious recommendation and solution for these cases is always to shave with shaving foam, and previously wash our face with some hot water (Not boiling, for obvious reasons). In fact, if you can shave after taking a shower, better, since your skin will be clean and free of impurities.

Do not sterilize the razor blade.

This point must be seen from two perspectives. The first is that if you are one of those who shaves with disposable leaves, keep in mind that the maximum use that you can give to these shavers is only once. We know that by wanting to save a few euros we get to use up to twice the same disposable shaver, when doing this is extremely harmful to the health of our chin. Well, this type of shavers after the first pass usually accumulate some bacteria, more if they are then stored. Therefore, the solution to this is to become aware and only use the disposable shavers 1 time.

The second perspective is if you are a user of razors. We know how practical they are to do their job. However, I ask you a question… Do you sterilize the leaves before and after each shave? If the answer is no, there you have the problem. The blades of these machines are disassemble able, so you must remove and sterilize it with hot water and alcohol before and after use. In this way you guarantee that it is always clean and does not acquire any undesirable bacteria. Since if the latter happens, when shaving that can generate an infection.

What to do if you already have the infection in your beard?

Up to this point we have only commented on how you can prevent an infection in the beard, however we have not explained what to do if the evil is already done. If this is your case, take note of the following…

To relieve the pain caused by irritation, it is advisable to smear on your chin some moisturizer with aloe vera (aloe). Or if you prefer, directly smear the aloe vera on the infected area. For the latter, if you have the plant in your house, just cut a piece of it and then extract that transparent sage from its interior. That’s what you’re going to smear on your skin.

The other thing you should do is go to a dermatologist and request a skin cleanse. To remove the bacteria that is already lodged under the pores of your skin. Also within this process it is possible that the dermatologist will recommend you to do other procedures depending on the severity of the infection.
