Can't seem to grow a beard, so are you constantly shaving? The work is not being done, instead the skin is getting acne. Many people have the idea that by repeatedly shaving the beard will grow a thick beard. A thick beard means that the person is handsome, as a result, the value will increase slightly among friends or acquaintances. From such a concept, young men often start shaving their beards frequently. As a result, stubble can be seen across the cheeks.

How reasonable is this idea of ​​repeatedly shaving? Dermatologists say there is no real basis for such claims. When shaving, only the part of the hair that protrudes from the skin is cut. The hair root or follicle, from which hair growth is controlled, remains within the skin and is not affected by shaving.

Rather, despite not growing a beard, repeatedly using a razor on the cheek can cause swelling of the skin and the formation of 'razor bumps'. Not only does it look unsightly, but the cheeks become painful.

So why does the hair look thick after shaving? From this question the myth was born. Normally the tip of a hair is slightly tapered. Cutting it with a razor blunts the tip. These short, blunt-tipped hairs can feel harder and coarser on the skin.

Dermatologists say, no matter how many cosmetics are used to make the beard thicker, or whether supplements are taken, it mainly depends on genetics. Instead of trying to grow a manly beard, men can focus on skincare. Watch out for 'razor bumps' on the skin. Men with smooth and glowing skin will catch people's attention.

Clean your face with face wash before shaving. Do not run a dry razor directly on the skin. Using a shaving cream or gel reduces friction and protects the skin. Shave in the direction the hair grows. Do not shave the same area repeatedly. A light, unscented moisturizer can be used after shaving. It helps reduce discomfort especially on sensitive skin.
