Skin care products are not just for girls. Men have faces too. The right shaving balm is essential for the perfect shave. When it comes to sensitive skin, finding the right shaving balm may be difficult, but there are some that will make shaving increasingly more comfortable. One cheap but highly effective shaving balm is Nivea. It is not full of fancy lavender smells and other essential oils, but it gets the job done. This balm is full of vitamin E, provitamin B5, and chamomile. Another great option is Lather &Wood After Shave Balm. The Manual states that it is a little different than most balms since it has more of a consistency like a body butter. However, the formula does not feel greasy at all and doesn’t feel heavy on the skin despite the consistency. It is also alcohol free which will prevent an sort of stinging. The Art of Shaving After- Shave Balm is created for men with sensitive skin. It contains shea butter, grapeseed oil, and other essential to keep the skin looking healthy.

If you are into buying more high end products, then the Cade from L’occitane is the route to go. This balm contains wonderful scents such as rosemary, juniper, and sandalwood. It is guaranteed to have your face smelling like a garden and feeling as soft as can be. The Lab Series 3-in-1 post-shave is also a great product, but requires some splurging. It will prevent any burns or bumps and allow a slower growth of facial hair. It even allows the new hair growing in to be much softer than before. This balm also contains palmento, which is an anti inflammatory. It is always important to take care of your skin, especially when it comes to men with sensitive skin. These products are sure to help to increase the shaving process immensely.
