What are the benefits of regular shaving

Bearded men should not be

The beard should be shaved in time, the purpose is to help health. Medical experts have found that the beard has the property of adsorbing harmful substances. First of all, when people breathe, can discharge a variety of harmful chemicals, can have a certain amount of residue in the beard. Secondly, the atmosphere contains a variety of heavy metal particles, especially in the busy streets, automobile exhaust emissions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, lead, etc. will also be adsorbed by the beard. As for smokers, smoke in the benzopyrene and other carcinogens, will also be stagnant in the beard. In addition, long beard on the epidermis more oil secretion, usually wash your face with water and often more difficult to wash away, and grease has a sticky accumulation of dust and microbial properties, aggravating the pollution of the beard.

Do not underestimate this pollution, medical experts will scrape down the beard by gas chromatography analysis, found that the harmful substances up to dozens of kinds of more, such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, benzo(a)pyrene and lead and other heavy metal elements. If the beard is placed under the microscope to observe, can also see a large number of microorganisms. These residual harmful substances on the beard, may be with the human respiration, be sucked back to the respiratory tract, endangering health. Therefore, we advise people not to keep a beard, the bearded man really can not be.

It is not difficult to understand that some fathers or other men love to use their beards to tie (kiss) children to show their love, although the original intention is good, but the consequences are serious, may be harmful substances and germs transferred to the tender children's face skin or into the mouth, become a channel to spread disease, can not be done.

Shaving is about sex

Men shaving has always been regarded as the behavior of the instrument, how suddenly it is related to sex? You may not believe it, but experts have their reasons.

A study by Prof. Ibrahim of the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom found that people who do not shave every day, compared with those who shave every day, have a low frequency of sexual intercourse, have fewer orgasms, and are 70 percent more likely to suffer from heart disease and stroke. For nearly 20 years, researchers have tracked 2,500 middle-aged men in Wales, and the results show that blue-collar workers predominate among those who don't shave every day, and they generally have lower rates of marriage, fewer orgasms, and, in some cases, angina as a result. The explanation is that people who don't shave regularly also have low testosterone levels, reflecting their lack of stable marriages and low number of sexual encounters. In other words, the simple act of shaving and shaving is linked to sex hormones in the body, which in turn positively affects sexual matters and health.

However, some experts are not convinced that there is a direct link between shaving or not, shaving more or less, and sex. A man who shaves has a higher quality of sex life, which may be more related to his positive attitude towards life. But then again, diligent shaving is at least a good habit of hygiene, will be included in the scope of self-care, surely only a hundred advantages and no harm, why not do it?

Mustache should be scraped and not pulled

A man in his 30s had to go to the hospital to see the emergency room because his lips were red and swollen, and the right half of his face was swollen. The root of the problem is due to the pulling of the beard. Originally, the man usually nothing like to use small tweezers to pull out the beard, used to be fine, did not expect this time to pull out the beard the next day after the lips began to red and swollen. The doctor explained that this is due to pulling the beard caused by sebaceous gland bacterial infection, clinically such cases are often seen, mostly for boys around 20 years old. Clinical some of the lips folliculitis, boils, cellulitis male patients, inquiring about the medical history, almost all have the bad habit of pulling the beard.

In fact, beard growth is a manifestation of male characteristics, is a normal phenomenon of physical development. Some young people feel that the sparse growth of the beard does not look good, always love to use the hand or tweezers to pull out the beard one by one, in fact, this is a big unnecessary and impossible. Because the beard pull off, the hair follicle is still there, the beard will grow out again, the so-called "wildfire, spring breeze blowing again" is also. Beard is a kind of hair, under which there are hair follicles, sebaceous glands and other skin appendages, in the skin of the hair root end of the hair papillae containing rich nerve endings and blood vessels, so pulling out the beard when people will have a painful feeling. Because pulling the beard can only pull off the hair shaft, hair roots, but not pull off the hair bulb, hair papillae and hair follicles, the beard can still grow out later. If the skin, hair follicles or sebaceous glands are damaged while pulling out the beard, the bacteria attached to the skin surface on the hands or face will take advantage of the situation and cause folliculitis, sebaceous gland inflammation, boils, or even lead to swelling of the lips or even the face.

More seriously, there is a rich network of blood vessels around the nose and lips, and with the intracranial blood vessels and mutual transportation, medical this part is known as the "danger triangle". If you pull out the beard at will, the skin around the lips and its follicles and sebaceous glands of bacterial infection, it is easy to spread to the cavernous sinuses in the cranial cavity, may cause meningitis or septic sepsis, and then life-threatening. In addition, even if the skin infection can be cured, it may leave scars, hard knots or hyperpigmentation on the surface because of the excessive damage, and the result is that the love of beauty does not work but becomes more ugly. Therefore, male readers should establish such a sense: the beard should only scrape and never pull.

Shaving to have a sense of disease prevention

Men's beards grow every day, diligent shaving is imperative. However, shaving should also be scientific, such as the establishment of disease prevention awareness is very important.

We all know, China is a "hepatitis country", epidemiological data show that nearly 1/10 of the country's people infected with hepatitis B virus, and shaving may be a hepatitis B can not be ignored transmission pathway. In addition, AIDS can not be prevented. In order to avoid this scourge, male soil shaving best at home, do not easily into the barbershop, in order to prevent cross-infection caused by shaving tools. At the same time, shaving tools should be sterilized regularly. There is another point, shaving action to be gentle, to avoid skin injury on the face of the elevated parts of the skin. If there are pustules, redness and other diseases on the face skin, you should first cure the disease and then shave the face, so as to avoid the spread of the disease.
