Pale, dull skin post shaving?

**newbie24** · 03-24-2009, 03:44 PM

Hey, in need of some advice. After shaving, I don't have a problem with razor burn, it's just that my face is always looks very dull. It takes a while for my skin to regain normal color and not look quite so pale/dead. Any suggestions?

Thanks...

What do you do to your skin after the shave: water, balm, splash?

+1 this is likely the key to resolving your issue. We need more info to assist you.

Ah, sorry. Cold water, then balm (generally Neutrogena, which tends to get good review around here, or occasionally Kiehls aftershave lotion).

You likely have dry skin

I have dry skin, and even though I use good alcohol-free balms, I have to follow up with a good moisturizer

+1, I suspect dry skin as well.

that could make sense...i guess i'll ramp up the moisturizing and see if that helps

MWF or TOBS Avocado FTW! Seriously though, a more moisturizing lather will help with that, followed by a good AS regimen. Maybe a scrub every couple of days to get the dead and dull skin off of your face as well.

Is there anything you are not telling us? Are you, in actuality, dead? Are there zombie issues? That would account for the dull skin problem.

Hmmmm....that's a pretty good idea too. I have fairly sensitive skin so I've always been kind of weary about using a scrub, but maybe I should give it a shot...
