Your skin needs immediate attention after a shave, when it's most susceptible to burn and infection. Help it rebound pain free with this soothing aloe-packed Instant Relief After Shave lotion ($25.00) from Brickell. I have personally used this product and found it to make my skin feel smooth and soft without the burn of other after shaves. It uses coconut oil to nourish and rehydrate the skin, as well as hyaluronic acid to help retain this moisture and restore elasticity. After shaving, splash the face with cold water to tighten pores. Then, apply a nickel-sized amount of product to the freshly shaved skin.
A bar of soap isn't going to fix cellular turnover and hydration isn't going to happen. To improve the look of your skin, use Clary Collection Face Serum ($48).

It's finished with both red raspberry and carrot seed oils for natural protection from the sun.
