| Because
shaving is a daily gesture, it can be harmful. The
daily act of shaving irritates the upper layers
of your skin and accelerates skin dehydration. This
causes redness and tugging. three steps are necessary
to avoid these troubles: clean, shave and soothe.
|
| Trois étapes
sont indispensables pour éviter ces désagréments
: nettoyer, raser, apaiser. |
| everyday, you must
clean the epidermis with facial gel or a soap then
rinse and dry. |
Electric
shaving must be done on a previously cleaned dry
skin.
You can use a lotion to prepare and protect skin
before before shaving. For some people, electric
shaving can favour ingrown hairs. In that case,
it is better to choose manual shaving using a special
foam for "difficult beards". Never shave
against the grain of the beard and always apply
an after shave and antiseptic lotion. |
| For
men used to mechanic shaving : |
Damp your face with lukewarm water.
Apply a foam on skin, a shaving gel or a shaving
cream to ease razor sliding on skin and for a closer
cut always shave following the grain of the beard.
Rince skin with cold water.
Pat dry your skin to avoid irritation. |
|
Soothe :
|
| To avoid discomfort
(redness, irritation) after shaving, it is necessary
to use a balm, a gel, or a lotion applying it on
skin in order to limit shaving irritation. |
|
| How
to choose your toothbrush ? : |
|
| |
| The
hair : |
Prefer
synthetic and full (nylon) bristles more hygienic
than silk. The extremities of the bristles must
be rounded.
Brushing effeciency does not depend on bristles
hardness. A hard brush may scratch teeth (all the
more so since if it is used with an abrasive toothpaste)
and damage gums. |
|
For
fragile gums use a soft brush.
|
| The
head : |
| The head
must be small enough to reach teeth. The head support
must be short and rounded to avoid wounding. |
| The
handle : |
|
Volume: big enough
to enable a good grip.
Lenght: 17 to 18 cm for adults.
13 to 14 cm for children. It must be large and
thick for your child to hold it well.
|
|
The
best toothbrush must have a relatively small head
and synthetic supple or medium bristles and a
straight handle large enough for a good handiness.

| Dental
plaque accumulation favours dental caries and mouth
infections. |
|
Their development
is reduced by food regime (less sweets, lowly
mineralised food...) and by regular teeth hygiene:
|
- By brushing
teeth after each meal during two to three minutes.
- By regularly changing your toothbrush (every two
to three months).
- By using a high level fluor toothpaste. |
|
What
is the use of the fluor ?
|
|
It has a preventive
effect because it reduces deminerelization and
activates mineralization at the surface of tooth
enamel. It also reduces dental plaque formation.
