Shaving Cream With Menthol
Shaving cream with menthol is an excellent choice for people with sensitive skin. The menthol works to lessen irritation caused by shaving and creates a pleasantly fresh, cool sensation.
What Are the Benefits of Menthol in Shaving Cream?
Menthol is a compound derived from mint oils. When applied to the skin, it has cooling properties because it tricks the body's nerve receptors into feeling the sensation of cold, somewhat similar to the way that chili peppers trick nerve receptors into feeling the sensation of heat.
Menthol also has soothing properties and works as a low-level anesthetic, which makes it useful in helping to reduce the skin irritation some people feel after a close shave.
Due to menthol's soothing properties, some home remedies suggest the use of shaving cream with menthol for sunburns, but the products aren't designed with that in mind. If you're looking for sunburn relief, doctors and dermatologists suggest more focused itch and rash treatments, such as hydrocortisone cream, and skin moisturizers made with aloe vera.
Which Shaving Creams Have Menthol?
CVS sells a wide variety of shaving creams that include menthol for its cooling and soothing effects. Two top-rated options are:
Pure by Gillette Soothing shaving cream. This shaving cream with menthol can be an excellent choice for men with particularly sensitive skin or specific allergies, as it contains no alcohol, dyes or parabens.
Cremo Cooling concentrated shave cream. This shave cream includes a mix of menthol, peppermint and tea tree oil and creates a thin, slick layer rather than a thick lather when applied.
You can also find options, such as Would shaving cream, that provide cooling effects but aren't made with menthol. These are ideal for people with mint-related allergies or sensitivities.
How Do I Use Menthol Shaving Cream?
Use foam shaving cream with menthol just like you'd use any other crema para afeitar. It's best to shave during or immediately following a hot bath or shower and to let the shaving cream remain on your face for a couple of minutes before beginning to shave. Doing so helps soften your facial hair and make it easier to remove.
Rinse your razor regularly during the shave. The sharper its blades, the less often you'll need to go over the same areas of your face, and the less skin irritation you're likely to experience. Washing your face with cold water after you're done shaving can also help cut down on skin irritation.
