What is a good shaving cream for sensitive skin?

Hi, I'm a 14 year old teenager and I started shaving my neck and face for awhile now. However, I like to get as close as possible and go against the grain. I do use aftershave but my skin usually gets irritated and i get acne? oddly enough, or these weird bumps due to the shaving. what kind of shaving cream should I use?What is a good shaving cream for sensitive skin?
Nivea has always been good to me, and I have sensitive skin.





Try they're men's line, for shaving and use they're anti-irritation shaving gel and moisturizer as well.








also look for parabens (anything ending in -paraben) in the ingredients list in the products that you use, those aren't very good for ppl with sensitive skin. I find that If a product doesn't have them, then I'm usually good to go.What is a good shaving cream for sensitive skin?

bumps=ingrown hairs from shaving. try a nice gel and shaving withthe grain.
My boyfriend has extremely sensitive skin and we have tired several different kinds of shaving creams and face washes to help control his acne and irritation. First of I recommended washing for face at least once a day. We found that Neutrogena works really well for him. He has an exfoliating face wash that can be used daily (and he uses it daily, in the shower) it is actually found in the ';woman's'; area of Health and Beauty products with all the face washes and astringents near the make up. He uses Neutrogena for Men Skin Clearing Shave Cream. It is a cream, not a gel so it doesn't foam and you only apply a thin layer to where you want to shave. It helps to reduce these razor bumps and minimized ingrown hairs. He really likes how ti works and his complection has cleared up greatly. You can find this in the shaving section of the Health and Beauty parts of your local Wal-Mart. They have several different kinds of creams and not just those gels that are commercialized stuff that will be for sensitive skin, and stuff for controlling break outs and so much more.





Note this, he's 20 so he has suffered with this since he was about 13 and we finally found what works for him. Read the back of all the different kinds of shave creams and face washes and try to figure out what YOU need. What kind of acne do you have? (There are more than one kind) and what do you need to stop that, then go for the irritation and ingrown hairs. You might need to change shavers as well, buying cheap shavers means cheap results.





Don't be afraid to try the ';woman's'; stuff because us women worry about it more so we have more of a variety. It will work for a man just as well. It just might have a fruity smell to it. Which is worse smelling of fresh flowers and having an apricot scrub on your face? Or having red bumps all over your face.





Good luck!
