Post Shave: Lotion, alcohol, and the rest
Hey all,
Trying to fix my shaving routine, since I have sensitive skin I noticed lotion/moisturizer is the better option. But I'm still not clear on a few things:
1. Should I use a specialized FACIAL lotion or can I use a regular lotion that you can use on your hands?
2. I have a tendency to get whiteheads. Should I use Alcohol aftershave to close the pores and then lotion, or should I just go straight to lotion?
My routine was something like this:
Wet face then wrap with HOT towel for 2 min.
Apply lather
Shave, rinse, lather, Shave
rinse with COLD water
Apply OLD SPICE, then immediatly with a cold towel
Finish with Talc Powder
This gave me a smooth shave that wasn't uncomfortable, but after a day or two I'd get a bunch of whiteheads. Should I not use the Old Spice or Talc?
Any advice would be great. Thanks
