Is Shaving Making Your Skin Appear Darker?
A close shave can reveal more than just a smooth face and defined jawline—it can also uncover the less desirable effect of skin darkening. If you've noticed darker patches on your face post-shave, rest assured, it's not just your imagination. This phenomenon, known as "hyper-pigmentation," can indeed result from your shaving routine.
Understanding the Cause:
The root cause of this discoloration often lies in...
Alcohol as a drink. But, definitely not on your face.
Did you know that hikers apply rubbing alcohol to their feet and guitar players to their fingers, to harden their skin? What a great idea if it makes hiking and guitar playing easier!
I’m not convinced; however, that the benefits have the same value when applied to the face. Sure, as a last resort it can disinfect a cut, but there are so many less painful options… right?
Effects of alcohol on the face can include:
- Painful burning
- Darkened skin
