Head Shaving & Anti-Aging Skincare

Sun spots, discolorations, a leathery texture and fine lines are tell-tale signs of an unhealthy bald head. The good news is with a proper shaving and skincare regimen any man can have a healthier bald dome. The main culprits of visible damage are exposure to harmful environmental elements such as UV rays, pollution and the use of irritating grooming products. Anti-aging skincare is the practice of using gentle, multi-functional grooming preparations that reduce and prevent the signs of aging. Embracing the following types of ingredients in your head shaving routine will have you on your way to a healthy bald dome.

Antioxidants are ingredients that neutralize damage caused from environmental factors such as UV rays, smog and smoke. Some antioxidants can stimulate collagen production, help skin generate healthier skin cells and fade discolorations. Antioxidants can also boost collagen production and strengthen the support structure of the skin, softening the appearance of fine lines.

Embrace: Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Niacinamide, Alpha Lipoic Acid & Coenzyme q10.

Anti-irritants are ingredients that reduce skin irritation and inflammation. Irritation can be caused by shaving, using irritating ingredients or simply from having sensitive skin. Skin irritation is problematic because it breaks down collagen, destructs the skins natural barrier, can cause the skin to become even more sensitive and can even trigger oil production. Anti-irritants can quickly calm skin and reduce inflammation which balances skin improving its overall health.

Embrace: Allantoin, Aloe Vera Extract, Centella Asiatica, Green Tea Extract & Willow Herb Extract.

Exfoliants work by removing dead and thickened surface layers of the skin and some exfoliate inside the pores. As skin ages,  so does the process of shedding skin cells. Exfoliating removes these thickened layers revealing a more vibrant and evenly-toned bald head. Exfoliation inside the pores can treat and prevent ingrown hairs. Regular exfoliation can also reduce discolorations.

Embrace: Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid & Sugar.

Sunscreen protects skin from photoaging from damaging UVA & UVB rays. Exposure to the sun is the quickest way to damage the scalp and cause premature aging such has wrinkles, discolorations and a rough texture. Applying SPF daily, even on cloudy days, will keep a bald head healthy for the long-term.

Embrace: An SPF product labeled "broad spectrum" will provide UVA & UVB protection. Sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher is best. Don't forget to reapply! 

Embrace: When spending an extended time in the sun and at times when the sun is most intense (typically 10 am to 2 pm) take protection a step further and wear a cap.
