Apply a nourishing body cream immediately after shaving, use a good amount and massage it into the skin. Maybe that will help. Or consider using a hair removal cream (depilatory cream).
HealthRe: Common Beard Myths Demystified by denisa15:
MyBeardGang:
Here's what we discussed...

He asked, “Hey, Bro! You've grown up to this age, why haven't you grown beards yet, what's the problem?

I answered, “that's something I don't really understand myself...

...what could be the trick behind growing beards? Is it that complicated? Well, I'll follow this up to that.”

He replied saying, “while someone is looking for the tricks for fast beard growth, that person can come across false and incorrect myths.”

*Clicks the pause button*

To proceed, let's disclose to you those myths you would always hear of in your quest to grow beards.

Note that, to demystify these myths, you have to opt-in for the right information about growing beards; else you would only wallow in ignorance despite being educated.

Let's look into some of these myths. Ready? Let's delve in.

1. Your Beards Will Itch Always

If you hear these words from anyone, refuse to believe it because it's false information. Yes, the beard may itch, but the itching does go beyond the early growth stages. Usually, the itching doesn't last for more than a month. After a month, you may still experience itchy beards, but this time caused by beards hair that's too coarse or dry skin.

With proper grooming, you can get rid of such itching. That's the reason why purchasing products such as beard oil or the beard cream is highly essential. Beard oil plays the role of supporting the skin's production of natural oil called sebum. It ensures that the skin and your whiskers are properly hydrated all the time.

A moisturized beard doesn't know what itching is all about. So, while you may observe itching in your beard, note that it doesn't always itch and will not itch if you properly care for it.

2. Shaving Your Beards Would Make it Much


It's a complete NO for this one. Have you been curious about growing beards? Then, you must have come across this particular myth that demands that you shave the whole of your beards for a thicker one to grow. In other words, start all over, and you'll see thicker beards grow.

But, the appropriate thing to say about is nothing but these three words, “forget about it.”

Dermatologists, doctors and beard gurus all have openly debunked this myth in many ways, and here is the real bottom line: shaving only ensures that your beard hair looks thicker. Why?

You should know that your beard follicles are naturally tampered right at the end. When you shave them, you are cutting the thin shaft and exposing the hair's thick part near the skin. All parts of your beards grow at the same rate.

3. You Won't Be Able To Get A Job

Having a beard doesn't disqualify you from getting a job. In today's work environment, there are quite a lot of bearded men, so that makes this one a myth, too. True, some jobs are more friendly for those with beards than for those without beards. Some corporate jobs may have strict guidelines as regards to facial hair.

But, above all, many companies look out for skills and not physical appearance. What speaks louder is your resume. Keep this in mind: before going for a job interview, ensure that your beards are professionally trimmed and shaped.

Make sure that you're looking sharp - from your clothes down to your shoes, and also your haircut.

4. You'll Have A Full Beards In A Week (Or Two)

Back to the growth-phase and that notion which depicts that the beard of every man grows at a completely different rate. Yes, you may think that's a myth, too — but it isn't really one of the myths. We all know of a person who grows beards in a short time — maybe, immediately after shaving. For most men, growing a complete beard takes about two to three months, at least one which is fully developed.

In growing beards, one of the things you should adopt — if you don't have it — is patience. And make sure you stay on course. Doing these will give you your desired result in a short time.

5. A Beard Makes You Look Unattractive

Saying beards look unattractive show that you've ignored the fact that many people actually do find beards a lot more attractive.

According to a study, women find security in guys with beards. They believe that guys with beards will be able to protect their children. And to add, they find guys with beards more attractive.

Now we've known about five of the myths you always hear, as long as getting the desired type of beards is concerned, let's move into telling you a few things you should do to help you demystify the myths listed above.

How to Demystify the Beard Myths

1. Stop Looking In The Mirror

With all the issue involved in growing beards, the more you stare at your beard in the mirror, the more you judge your goal around having a perfect beard. And hitting perfection with your beard is something that's out of your control. By always judging your beards, you're only discouraging and bringing yourself down. So, while you grow beards, don't look at the mirror.

2. Quit Picking At It

Yes, you have to pick at your beards for the morning grooming, and you can't control the urge to pick at your beards while being lost in deep thought or meditation — but you should still try your possible best to keep your hand away from your beards.

3. Clean It Up

It's said that a clean beard is also a fuller beard. Just like the hair on your head, if you keep it clean, it'll surely appear much fuller than if you allow it become wholly dried out or too oily. To achieve a decent beard, you can go for products such as a good beard wash and softener. They help to keep your beard clean without you torching it.

4. To speed up your beard growth, you need extra help

You may decide to speed up the rate at which your beard grows by either using a beard booster or a beard cream created specifically for fast growth.

Anything other than this, your beard would only grow at the expected rate which your body enables.

Nairaland GeneralRe: What Triggers The Quest For Dermal Filler Cost? by denisa15:
laserhairsaus:
The recent years have witnessed a hike in the popularity of dermal fillers for facial rejuvenation without the need for surgery or recovery time. This has increased the inquiry of dermal filler cost.

Dermatologists opine many people want a quick, painless, natural-looking refresher to perk up skin that has begun to succumb to age and gravity.
Waxing replaced shaving and tweezing. Today, even wax removals have paled before laser hair removal procedures, which is the newest innovative hair removal solution on the block. Clinics specializing in the best laser hair removal procedures are experiencing an increasing number of clients desiring to get the procedures done.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are designed to enhance natural beauty. Below are listed some of the benefits of dermal fillers –

Results from this treatment are subtle yet effective in giving a refreshed look. As people age, skin loses its collagen and fat. Fillers help counteract these effects, providing plumpness for that youthful glow and complexion.

It is rare for a treatment to have immediate results and limited disruptions to daily life. But with dermal fillers, consumers get both. Results from dermal fillers can be immediate with changes in appearance being noticed straight after the treatment.

Not only does this treatment stimulate more collagen growth in the body, but it also has the added benefits of hydrating and revitalizing skin. Dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid which is naturally found in the skin. This gives it the ability to moisturize skin, giving it a fresh look.

Dermal fillers can be carried out for various areas on the face, eyes, cheek, jaw, including lips. The procedures are good for increasing the volume and plumpness of the lips. This treatment also softens the look of wrinkles around the mouth.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a long-lasting form of hair removal that damages or destroys the hair follicle. However, the hair regrows if the follicle is damaged and not destroyed during the laser hair removal procedure. For this reason, many doctors now refer to laser hair removal as long-term hair removal rather than permanent hair removal.

Conclusion

Several dermatological clinics are embracing laser hair removal and dermal filler techniques. They deploy a team of experts backed by over a decade of experience in offering laser hair removal solutions.
Fillers really work for under eye wrinkles as well, which is the first part of the face where wrinkles start showing since the skin around our eyes is so thin. I totally agree, fillers with hyaluronic acid are expensive but wonderful. And they last for at least 6 months so you can get them once a year and it's still great for maintaining a smooth youthful-looking skin.

Demariz:
I do actually, doesn't make me less of a real man,

** about the sunscreen hardly you see one that doesn't leave white cast and make you look ashy and less expensive,maybe you have a recommendation?
It definitely doesn't make you less of a real man, it actually makes you an amazing man. I just wanted to say that the majority of men prefer to spend their time doing other things. It's actually fantastic that you take the time to care for yourself.

Regarding the sunscreen, you could try the Neutrogena Clear Face Liquid Lotion Sunscreen. It's one of the most affordable. For something so essential, you would think that someone would make it more affordable so that everyone can use sunscreen daily. Apply a bit and the massage it into the skin and then a bit more and massage it again, it should blend in better if it's applied in layers.
FashionRe: Six Effective Skincare Habits For Men by denisa15: 4:09pm On Mar 25, 2020
It's a great list but I don't see many men actually going through with all of it, especially the part about exfoliating 2-3 times a week. I don't know any man who actually does that.
FashionRe: How To Get Rid Of Ingrown Hairs And Shaving Bumps by denisa15:
Exfoliating daily with physical exfoliators, like body scrubs or exfoliating gloves, has helped me prevent ingrown hairs successfully and I didn't feel the need for chemical exfoliators, although they're very efficiency in removing ingrown hairs, no matter how deep they are hidden under the skin.
FashionRe: Body Scrub Brightening Treatments by denisa15: 12:45pm On Mar 25, 2020
I particularly love body scrubs with coffee and brown sugar, which anyone can also make at home if they can't buy them.
HealthRe: For What Reason Should You Shave Your Beard Regularly? by denisa15:
Shaving with the grain decreases the risk of razor bumps and irritation and the appearance of ingrown hairs. It's also important to soften the hairs with hot water before shaving and to moisturize after.
Here are some more shaving tips https://denisapicks.com/shaving-tips-for-women/ that can be followed even by men if you want to prevent razor bumps.

HealthRe: Gynaecologist Urges Women Not To Remove Their Pubic Hair by denisa15:
I'm not saying that the hair in our intimate area doesn't have a role but I believe that you can maintain that area in optimal health even if you remove all the hairs entirely. I've shaved, waxed, and for the last 10 years I've been using an epilator to remove all the hairs from the intimate area, front and back, what you would call a Brazilian. If you're brave enough, you can even do your own Brazilian waxing at home. I was very lucky because with neither of these 3 methods have I gotten ingrown hairs. It differs from person to person. It's definitely a highly personal choice. If you're comfortable with your natural state then, that's amazing. Truly is, I really admire those women.
HealthRe: How Can Someone Get Rid Of Shaving Irritations? by denisa15:
bluesky4:
try not to shave as it makes ur hair goes more thicker and as uve noticed, u get irritations

Im not sure where ur shaving, but if it is legs, the best method is an epilator. Ys it may hurt, but u get used to it. It actually removes the hair from the roots and hair grows finer and less.

If ur using it for ur kitten then i suggest waxing, as its less iritating the shaving, and u dont get stubbles or shaving spots.

Also, remember to exfoliate to remove dead skin cells and make ur skin feeling smooth!
I also use an epilator on my intimate area plus all the rest of my body. Indeed it hurts but going to a beauty salon once every 3 weeks is really expensive. Exfoliation is definitely crucial.

FashionRe: Ladies,get rid of those stubborn hair on your stomach fast. by denisa15:
I think we should leave those hairs alone, I'm in no hurry to remove them although they've become a bit more noticeable now that I'm older. I already use an epilator on most of my body and face, it's enough.
HealthRe: What Causes Excess Facial Hair In Women And How Is It Treated? by denisa15:
That was covered really well, it's an awful condition. Nowadays, there are special facial razors for women, like the Tinkle or the one from Schick.
Epilators are another solution. Laser hair removal works best on the combination of fair skin with dark hairs. Electrolysis is the only permanent hair removal method, it takes a long time but once it's done the hairs won't grow back anymore.
FashionRe: Facial Hair In Women by denisa15:
I use an epilator for facial hair removal, too. It's great, it hurts quite a bit but at least for 2 weeks I don't have to worry about having facial hair. I use a Braun Silk Epil 7 that's an epilator for body but it also has a facial cap.

Nairaland GeneralRe: Why Women Should Not Shave Their Private Part – Gynaecologist Issues Warning by denisa15: 2:49pm On Mar 20, 2020
Once you get used to having your intimate area completely hairless, it's hard to get accustomed to letting your hair grow back and not removing it at all. I don't think it has any impact on our health, I've been removing it since I was 14, as long as you wash your body daily and after sex, I don't see what could happen. It's a personal choice, one I made for myself, I definitely didn't have a partner when I was 14, I'm a hairy person and I like seeing all my body looking smooth and hair-free.
CelebritiesRe: Stop Shaving! See How You Should Remove Pubic Hair Permanently by denisa15:
The thing with the turmeric, gram flour and water/milk paste is that it does work but on peach fuzz, the tiny fine hairs on our face but it doesn't work on thick hair. It's not permanent, the hairs will grow back.
The only permanent hair removal is electrolysis, as recognized by the FDA, not even laser hair removal is considered a permanent hair removal method.
The sugaring paste (a paste made from water, sugar, lemon) works just like waxing so, the hairs will grow back in 3 weeks on average. You should also watch a video on YouTube to see exactly how the paste is made. The hairs are removed from their follicles, just like waxing does.
Science/TechnologyRe: Top 10 Israeli Inventions You Should Know About by denisa15:
