Question 1

How do I get rid of razor bumps?

Accepted Answer

Razor bumps (pseudofolliculitis barbae) are caused by curved hairs re-entering the skin after shaving. The most effective treatments are switching to a single-blade safety razor, shaving with the grain only, using a salicylic acid post-shave treatment, and allowing the skin to recover between shaves. SKINR provides a free personalised protocol based on your specific beard type and skin.

Question 2

What is the best razor for Black men with curly hair?

Accepted Answer

Men with coarse curly hair are most prone to pseudofolliculitis barbae. A single-blade safety razor with a mild blade gap — such as the Merkur 34C or Henson AL13 — reduces the lift-and-cut mechanism that causes ingrown hairs. Electric shavers like the Braun Series 9 are also effective for severe cases. SKINR recommends the exact blade based on your beard characteristics and problem severity.

Question 3

What skincare routine should men with combination skin follow?

Accepted Answer

Combination skin requires balancing oil control in the T-zone with hydration on the cheeks. Morning routine: gentle gel cleanser, niacinamide serum (4-5%), lightweight oil-free moisturiser, SPF 30+. Evening routine: same cleanser, retinol (0.025% to start), ceramide moisturiser. Avoid heavy oils and alcohol-based toners. SKINR generates a free personalised routine with exact products for your budget.
