When it comes to a shaving having good techniques, products and post shaving skin care will all help you get a great look and feeling shave.
Having a good close shave followed by the right facial wash and after shave moisturizer go’s a long way to achieve health looking skin.

Here are some tips to help you on your way.

1) Making sure you beard is ready.
When it comes to shaving you need to make sure that your beard is ready, make sure your beard is thoroughly wet which will give you a closer shave with out any skin rashes or irritation.
Your facial hair absorbs moisture up to about 30% of its volume, when the hair is swollen with water it will become very weak which makes it easier to cut.
A good way to get you beard properly moistened is to have a shower or bath as the steam and heat from these will prepare your beard for you, if you do not have time for these you can always rinse your face then apply a warm wet towel to your face for a couple of minutes (your will find these is a technique that your barber will use).
You should never shave your beard cold or add your shaving products to a dry face.

2) Making sure you use a quality shaving cream.
When it comes to pick your shaving cream you need to get one that has a high concentration of lubricants and moisturizers.
You will find that the best shaving creams create a rich creamy lather but they don’t foam up like the cheaper store brands, the less foam in the shaving cream the better.
Having less resistance, less irritation and fewer nicks also mean that your blade will last longer! While the main reason of the shaving cream is to lubricate your face so that your razor will glide smoothly and effortlessly across the surface of your beard, it also helps to lock the moisture into your beard keeping it soft and upright, making it easier for you to cut.
Once you have applied your shaving cream you should leave it on your face for at least a minute before you begin shaving, this will soften and wet the beard.

3) Using a shaving brush.
When it comes to shaving one of the best tools you can use is a shaving brush.
Using a shaving brush can help you have a better shave in a couple of way 1st it help lift the hair of your beard for a closer shave 2nd it helps give a creamy rich lather with your shaving cream 3rd it also help to tack way dead skin cell which help reduce blemishes, razor burn and also will make your skin feel and look softer.
When buying a shaving brush always look for one with bristles that have the right balance between softness and resistance to raise the beard.

When apply your shaving cream using the brush in a circular motion which ends in an upward stroke this will help lift the beard up and away from the face which will give you a closer shave.

4) Making sure you use a Quality Razor and Change the Blades.
When shaving always use a good quality sharp razor blade, making sure the blade is sharp is good as your not just cutting off hair because every time you shave you scraping off up to two layers of surface skin as well.
Using a blunt blade is vary traumatic to the skin as it will make your face feel scratchy and look blotchy.
When it comes to changing your blade it depends on the toughness of your beard on how often you do it, it is best to change it between every 3 to every 10 shaves if you like to shave everyday.
If your blade is blunt make sure you ditch it.

Rinse your blade under hot water before you begin to have a shave and after every few swipes helps to removes the shaving cream, whiskers, and dead skin that have collected up.

To get a really close shave remoisten the section you just shaved, you can do this by spreading a thin layer of shaving lather from another area of your face, and then shave that area again. Always make sure you keep everything moist.
Use hot water also helps lubricate the skin and it has nothing to do with killing bacteria.

5) Making sure you use your razor properly.
When shaving it is always a good idea to shave in the direction of the growth of your beard.
Always start at the sides, and then do your moustaches areas then the chin last. You will find that your chin hair is the toughest so leaving it to last gives it more time to soften.

Shaving against the direction of the hair growth will give you a closer shave, but you will find it has drawbacks:

1st it’s a good way to donate bleeding
2nd You are also at high risk of cutting off the beard hair below skin level, this can causing an ingrown of the beard hair (in growing hairs) – this is when the whisker grows into the surrounding tissue instead of out of the pore, resulting in it to inflame and possible get infected. To avoid any problems. Shave with the grain (this means, in the direction your hair grows).
Everybody’s facial hair has its own growth pattern. If you are unsure of the direction of your beard, you can find this out by let it grow for a day or two and you’ll see it.

6) What to do if you want a closer shave
If you want to get a closer shave what you need to do is add some more lather from you brush o the areas that you want to shave again.
This is one benefit you get out of using a brush, for most guys re shaving certain areas will do the job.
But always remember not to over shave as it will cause skin irritation and rashes.

7) How to cleanse and soothe after shaving
After have a shave your skin is at its most vulnerable, so rinse your face with warm water and then use a facial wash (that has a high strength of tea tree oil which is a natural antiseptic) which will help cleanse and protect you from spots and shaving rash.

Now you need to rinse your face with cool water and pat dry with a towel. Do not rub dry.

9) How to finish off
When shaving you can remove up to 2 layers of skin off, so it is important that you use a moisturizer after shaving every time you shave.
This will replace all the moisture and smooth the skin, when choosing a aftershave balm not go for the cheapest paying a bit more will help your face and skin feel better.

1) As you may know all the celebrities have shinny hair.
I know most people can not afford to have a professional pampering treatment daily like all the celebrities but yes they is away to cheat. What you can do is apply a deep conditioner (do not wash it out) then you need to wrap Clingfilm round your head, I like to leave this on for about 10–20 minutes doing this will warm up and open the cuticles which help to penetrate the conditioner deep into the hair.
But if you don’t have time to do this and you are in a rush you could all so try out so serums or a spray shine (for a example TIGI head rush).

2) make sure you keep your colour complementary; the best way you can do this is to find your self a good colourist.
Always talk to your colourist about the colour you want to achieve and they will tell you if it will work or not.
You will find that most celebrities have a simple natural looking base tone with added highlights or lowlights to enhance what they have already.
If you want to save money you can also use a home dye but just make sure you get a colour that complements your skin tone.

3) One thing you never see is celebrity hair being frizzy. The ways you can stop this happening is
A) Once you have washed your hair you should put lots of conditioner on, this will weight your hair down.
B) Carry a small tube of serum with you where ever you are and use a brush when ever you have time.
C) To fight humid days you will find a leaving conditioner will help.

4) One thing you will notice is that big and thick hair means that your hair is healthy and this is what you need for that A-list celebrity look.
So what you need to do to get big hair is buy your self some heated rollers, roll your hair in large sections this will create lots of body. Apply some serum on the finished look but do not flatten the shape that you have just created, if you have fine hair adding some backcombing to the curl will help add that extra body.

5) Most of the hair that we want that the celebrities have is long but you will be surprised that how many A-list celebrities have added length and volume with extensions.
You can do this your self easily just using clip in extensions at home the great thing with these is that you can where them when you want.
A good idea is to practice at home until you get it looking invisible then you can go out feeling and looking like a celebrity.

6) Having healthy hair always makes it look like you have paid out a lot of money, there is a cheap way you can achieve this using a good gentle shampoo and conditioner at least once a week and also have a healthy diet will make a big change.
When you have washed your hair avoid brushing it when it is still wet as this will make the hair break also try not to use heated appliances every day such as hairdryers, tongs and straighteners.

7) Always make sure you have everything you need for your hair with you as no one likes to be court out.
I would suggest having a hair kit in your hand bag at all time, this dose not mean you have to take your whole dressing table with you all you need are four simple things serum, hairspray, a brush and a dry shampoo.
So go out propped and worry free.

So come on girls and follow these 7 simple steps and become an A-list celebrity.

What is Ringworm?

Ringworm of the scalp is a fungal infection the medical term for ringworm is tinea capitis.

How is ringworm caught?

In most cases ringworm is transferred by contact with animals like cows, dogs, cats, hamsters and guinea pigs.
Most mammals have this skin fungus but do not have any symptoms but this can still be transferred to humans.
You can also get ringworm from another person that already has it via touching and sharing towels.
Fungi and their spores can live for long periods of time on brushes, unwashed towels and furniture.
There are some people that are carriers of fungi that means they have fungi on their skin and hair but it dose not invade into there skin this means they do not get infected and have no symptoms, so they will pass the fungi onto other people who will then get symptoms.
You will find scalp ringworm will mainly affect children and it is rare in adults, this is because of the normal skin oil (sebum) which increases on the scalp after puberty has properties that will make it resistant to fungi.

What symptoms will I have?

You may find one or more sections of the scalp will show hair loss or give a stubbly appearance.
You will find the skin will be slightly scaly with a little or no irritation.

You may fine the infection just looks like you have really bad dandruff on various places of your scalp; this can some times be mistaken as psoriasis.

You will alternatively get a 6 to 9cm wide lesion that may develop in to a large rash.

You may find a kerion will become inflamed and fill with pus or fluid, which will also be very painful.
This can cause permanent scarring and hair loss if not treated early enough.

If you find you have severe infection such as kerion or pustules you may find you develop a fever and the glands in your neck may swell in rare cases.

How do I get ringworm diagnosed?

It is best to go and see a doctor as there are many other skin diseases that have similar symptoms which require very different treatments.

Your doctor may take a scraping of the fungi so it can be microscopic checks and cultivation to identify it.
Once you have been diagnosed you will need to start your treatment straight away to avoid the ringworm infection spreading further and also to avoid infection of other people.

What is the treatment I will get?

The most common treatment is anti-fungal medicine which is taken by mouth.
If a large kerion have formed the antifungal treatment may be supplemented with corticosteroids for a short time.
