1, the health benefits of men growing beards
1, beard is an umbrella on a man's face.
From a health point of view, the beard on a man's face can cope with the weather changes in spring, summer, autumn and winter all year round. In the cold winter, a thick beard can effectively keep warm and protect the face and skin from frostbite;
Then someone will say that it will be hotter to grow a beard in summer? In summer, the human body sweats a lot, and the pores at the root of the beard are much larger than ordinary pores, so the perspiration at the beard is more severe than other parts of the skin, emitting more heat and feeling cooler.
In addition, with the beard blocking, harmful ultraviolet rays in the sun will not leave black spots on the face, and men with beards are less likely to suffer from skin diseases.
Men with beards are stronger.
Perhaps no one knows that the more beards a person has, the stronger his body is. This is because the hair follicle contains a chemical called biotin, which is similar to androgen, and its content level is directly proportional to the density of male beard and the content of androgen.
The higher the biotin level in men, the more androgens there are. Physiologically, androgen is directly proportional to male muscle development and immunity. Therefore, men with beards are generally stronger.
Men with beards live longer.
In 20 12, a professor of physiology at the University of Massachusetts in the United States made such a study: the research object was 12 people, and six men with thick beards and six men with sparse beards were compared.
The contents of the comparison include all the physical injuries and bacterial and viral infections they suffered in their lives. After monitoring them for several months, it turns out that men with thick beards have much stronger wound healing ability, and the resistance of bearded men to bacteria and viruses is much higher than that of the other group. This may also be related to androgen levels.
Men with thick beards are more likely to be happy.
Studies abroad show that among the 1000 men who committed suicide due to stress in recent years, 95% of the suicides have sparse beards or no beards on their faces.
At present, although there is no accurate research result to explain this problem, researchers speculate that it may have a lot to do with biotin, which stimulates beard growth.
Biotin can also act on the human body to produce too much "happy hormone", which is actually a kind of serotonin, which specifically transmits the happiness produced by the nervous system.
2. Precautions for men to grow beards
1, not everyone is suitable for growing a beard. Beard depends on occupation. Teachers or white-collar workers are not suitable for growing beards, and many professional faces require not to grow beards.
2. In addition to occupation, growing a beard depends on the face. Not all faces are suitable for beards, and not all faces are suitable for the same beard. Pay special attention to the beard that complements the face. For example, a person with a pointed chin is not suitable for a goatee. A man with a round face is suitable for a goatee and can modify his face.
Men of different ages have different beards. Men who are younger, have sparse beards, are masculine and handsome, and have a stable center of gravity can choose to stay thick and look mature and attractive.
Don't grow a beard for boys until you are 20 years old. Growing a beard depends on whether age and temperament match. Beard is a sign that men are more attractive and mature.
Men with beards should pay special attention to the contrast between beards and hair color. If you dye your hair, you should dye your beard properly and try to match the color of your hair.
6. Pay special attention to the smoothness of the face when growing a beard. If there are scars or acne muscles on the face, it is recommended that such men do not grow beards, which makes people feel that their faces are messy and not delicate. And when shaving, you will accidentally scratch acne, causing inflammation and infection of the wound.
7. Men with beards should pay special attention to the trimming of beards. Generally, the beard grows very fast, about 1mm a day, so it should be trimmed every few days. Don't leave it too long. It looks sloppy and gives people a bad feeling.
8, in addition to pay attention to regular pruning beard, but also pay attention to the daily beard cleaning, to avoid the accumulation of dust. To clean the beard, use special cleaning liquid or shampoo.
Summary: In fact, sometimes a man's beard still has some charm, but it is not suitable for everyone. According to the knowledge of Bian Xiao introduced above, we must decide whether to stay or not according to factors such as face, age and occupation.
3. How to shave?
1. Before shaving, clean the skin oil with facial cleanser and warm water to soften the roots of Hu ... The beard is easier to shave off after soaking in water, and it is best to wet it with hot water for about three minutes.
2. Next, coating a layer of shaving foam on the beard can not only further soften the root of the beard, reduce the discomfort of scraping, but also allow you to distinguish where you have shaved and where you have not shaved.
When shaving, remember to shave gently along the direction of beard growth, starting from the easiest place to shave. Our suggested procedure is to shave cheeks, cheeks, neck, upper and lower lips and chin hair in turn.
4. After shaving, it is usually recommended to use aftershave water with skin calming effect to reduce the skin irritation caused by the knife after shaving; But if you have sensitive skin, you can use products such as cream or lotion to improve it.
