It is advisable to use an antiseptic after shave gel or lotion after shaving. Little cuts are always bacteria prone so one needs to be extra careful of what one is doing. Using Electric Razors instead of normal ones may be a good idea in this case.

Also, instead of using moisturizers, drinking water will actually help make the skin look better naturally. Those of you who enjoy drinking tea should try to drink organic tea. Drinking Peppermint or Dandelion tea is also a good idea. It will refresh you and make your skin glow!
