Question

After I shave, the skin on my face turns dark green in the shaved area. Barbers say my beard is really tough. What can I do about this? I'm looking for some advice.

The dark green discoloration after shaving, known as pseudofolliculitis barbae or razor burn, can be caused by coarse or curly hair, ingrown hairs, or razor burn; to alleviate this issue, try using a sharp razor, shaving in the direction of hair growth, applying a soothing aftershave balm, exfoliating your skin regularly, and considering alternative hair removal methods like trimming or depilatory creams.
