A Shave A Day Keeps The Wrinkles Away

Have you ever heard the rumor that a man's face ages better than a woman's? Well, there may actually be some truth to it.

The act of shaving does several things to the skin. First off, it cuts stubble to leave you smooth as a baby's bottom. But what you may not realize is that at the same time, shaving also helps exfoliate the skin. Besides removing hair, the razor also takes off dead cells from the surface of the skin.

When dead cells build up on the skin, it can appear uneven and dull. Removing the dead skin layer reveals the newer cells beneath and can help restore skin luster. Regular exfoliation helps keep the skin youthful, unclog pores, and eliminate roughness and irregularities. Plus over time, it can reduce the appearance of some fine lines and can help prevent the development of pimples.

While you may be able to notice a difference in the texture of your skin immediately after shaving, the true benefit of exfoliating your skin regularly is best seen over long periods of time. This may be why the cheeks of men may appear smoother than the cheeks of women who are the same age.

So now you know that by shaving you really can keep your face both smooth and young!
