Ever since I started shaving again in the past year i've noticed that I get more frequent clogged and/or infected pores. This reminds me why i stopped shaving about a decade ago or so. I get more blemishes when i shave. I've noticed these tiny little white heads that show up around the edge of my lip (no, i don't get cold sores). I also get pimples/cloggerd pores/whatever mostly in the area within in a inch or two of my mouth.
I've developed a routine of using a salicylic acid face wash around 12 hours after i shave, followed by a gently exfoliation with a wash cloth another 12 hours after that. I'm not sure if this helps but i think it might.
Anyone have any products or other recomendations for preventing these kinds of blemishes? I've never been one to have bad acne. I get the occasional pimple but that's about it. It's just that shaving increases the frequency and the worst part is that when i get these belmishes I have to stop shaving for a few days if i really want it to heal.
