      Well-known British cosmetics brand healthy Experts recently reminded everyone not to rush into shaving when you get up in the morning. It is best to wait for a while before cleaning.
      
      Do health experts have a point?
      
      A reporter from 99 Health Network interviewed the Guang’anmen of China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital skin Professor Ke Li Bojian.

      Professor Li explained that you should not rush to shave when you get up in the morning, otherwise, new stubble may grow in the afternoon. It is best to shave 20 minutes after getting up to keep your face clean throughout the day. This is mainly because when you first get up, after a night's rest, your reproductive function is strong and your beard grows quickly. After 20 minutes to half an hour of consumption, male The male hormones in the body are no longer so strong, and the growth rate of beards has slowed down. If you shave at this time, it will not grow back quickly.
      
      Professor Li also reminded everyone that before shaving, you should wash your face with neutral soap. If there is dirt and dust on the face and beard, once the razor irritates the skin or slightly bruises the skin, the dirt will cause skin infection. After washing your face, apply a hot towel to your beard or apply a soft beard balm to soften your beard. After a while, apply shaving cream or soap to facilitate the cutting of the beard with the blade and reduce irritation to the skin. When shaving, the skin should be tightened to reduce the resistance of the razor running on the skin and prevent it from breaking the skin. Especially for older or thin people, the skin is prone to wrinkles and should be tightened to maintain elasticity and a certain amount of support. The order of shaving is: from left to right, from top to bottom, first along the pores, and then against the pores. After shaving, wipe off the foam with a hot towel or wash it off with warm water, and then check to see if there is any stubble.
      
      In addition, Professor Li reminded that you should avoid shaving before and after exercise, because your body will sweat a lot at this time, which will irritate the newly shaved skin and cause a burning sensation.
