Shaving

[LMNOP]

I started shaving my face 6 months ago will shaving cause acne or pimples?

[bill]

i dont know but probably not, thats usualy caused by not washing your face or puberty

[Neverender]

No. Shaving shouldnt cause acne.

It can cause skin irritation if you dont use shaving cream, you shave too much/hard or your skin doesnt like the compounds in the shaving cream.

But when shaving over acne, be careful as the blade could nick a pimple and make it bleed.

This is my 3100th post!

i doubt it. if that's the case, all adult males would have that problem. check how u hold the phone (sometimes ppl that use it on one side tend to break out in areas where the phone touches their face) or how u sit and hold/touch ur face too

Just don't do a dry shave, always use some from of shaving foam or soap.

If you do a dry shave its more likely to be itchy after....you could always put post-shave balm on after instead of using foam.

In most cases, it will not.

yeah dont do dry shave... tbh i think water would work if u cant get shaving cream...

yeah thats a question.... could you yuse water instead of shaving cream? i generally do...

When I shave I don't use a cream of anysort I just get the blades wet and it seems to work just fine. I also put a dab of lotion on my face after words to avoid iritation and I havn't had a problem yet.

What you mean by shaving causing acne, the shaving's probably causing irritation. It would be rather unusual if shaving would lead to acne, as in any case, shaving would probably open up pores, not constrict or clog them. Acne, along with blackheads, is caused by bodily oils that clog up pores, so shaving has little to do with it.

Nope, shaving doesn't cause acne. It certainly might irritate the acne that you already have, but no, acne is caused by other factors already listed.
