Breakouts can be unsightly
and really damage your confidence at a young age, but scarring
can also leave lasting damage
that stays with you into your later
years. Treating acne with targeted
skincare is possible, but cheaper
high street products that claim to
deal with the problem can be very
harsh on your skin and not give the
desired results.

3.
From a young age it’s important to find the
shaving method that works for you – whether it’s electric, wet shaving or stubble control. Do your research,
get recommendations from father, brothers, cousins
and always attempt to use top quality shaving tools like
those below, because the sooner you do, your skin will
thank you for it.

Laying the foundations of a high quality, consistent grooming routine in your
formative years will set you in good stead for preserving your youthful appearance as
the years go by adapting and evolving as your skin needs change.
