Many girls probably have this confusion: their boyfriends have just shaved, but why do they still look untidy? Usually, there are two reasons for this:One is that the razor blade is blunt, so you just need to buy him a new one; the other is that he doesn't use the right Shaving Gel.

Boys can use Shaving Gel before shaving to make their beards fluffy, soft, and easy to shave, and it can also reduce the friction between the skin and the blade. Some shaving lubricants containing antibacterial ingredients can also promote skin repair after shaving, and are very useful. After years of development, there are many types of Shaving Gel on the market. Let's analyze how to choose!

Shaving soap: softens beards and moisturizes skin. Shaving soap is the earliest shaving lubricant product. Its main ingredients are similar to soap and perfumed soap, but on this basis, it adds ingredients that can soften beards and moisturize skin. Its main function is lubrication and can also play a partial moisturizing effect.

Shaving cream: relieves rough skin and enlarged pores. Shaving cream is mainly composed of oil, water, surfactants and moisturizers, which can make the beard swell and soften, easy to shave, and relieve local skin roughness and enlarged pores after shaving, relieve mechanical stimulation during shaving, and make the skin feel comfortable.

Shaving Gel: easy to use, non-greasy, and moisturizing. Shaving Gel has similar ingredients to shaving cream, but because shaving foam is stored in high-pressure aluminum cans, preservatives and propellants are also added to shaving foam for easy storage and use. Preservatives are usually propylene glycol, and propellants are mainly propane and butane. When shaving, the oil-water ratio of the skin is balanced, making the skin non-greasy and replenishing moisture.

We can choose the Shaving Gel suitable for boys according to their skin type. If he has oily skin: Men with oily skin have plumper skin, and thick foam can better adhere to the beard, so you can choose a shaving soap or shaving foam with rich foam, which can not only better remove the stubble, but also make the skin more refreshing after use.

If he has dry skin: Men with dry skin have relatively sensitive skin, so it is recommended to use Shaving Gel with moisturizing function, which can reduce irritation to the skin and reduce the tightness of the skin after use. In addition, since the preservatives and propellants in shaving foam are highly irritating, they are very unfriendly to dry skin, so try to avoid using them.

If his stubble is hard: you can consider using a shaving gel with a fine texture, which will have a higher lubricity than other products, can effectively reduce the stagnation during shaving, and prevent being scratched by the blade.

Girls, next time your boyfriend pokes you with his chin stubble, you know what to do!

In March 2025, the US Food and Drug Administration reported the rejection of 53 batches of imported cosmetics. Among them, "other cosmetics" were the most frequently rejected category, especially aerosol products, due to their unique formulation and ingredient characteristics, which make them more prone to regulatory challenges in testing stability during transportation and in proving ingredient traceability. The quantity is 14 batches. In addition, the product types include moisturizers, makeup, oral hygiene products, and hair care products.

Currently, there is no unified definition of cosmetics internationally, resulting in some products being classified differently for regulation in different sales locations. For example, products for removing freckles and whitening, and acne removal are classified as cosmetics in China but as medicines in the United States. On the other hand, for example, cleaning wipes are not considered cosmetics in China but are considered cosmetics in the United States.

According to the US law, cosmetics are items used by spraying, spraying, or other methods to clean, beautify, enhance charm, or improve appearance. This definition includes any component of such items, but does not include soap. In 2022, the United States revised some parts of the FD&C Act, where it was proposed that cosmetics are a finished product, a formulation made from a fixed and quantified composition of cosmetic ingredients.

Based on the latest revisions of the US FD&C Act, aerosol products must meet dual compliance standards: first, their usage method (spray application) must meet the functional definition of "cleaning, beautifying, and improving appearance"; second, the propellant and active ingredients in the formula must meet the requirements for quantified finished products. For example, acne spray containing salicylic acid is classified as a cosmetic in China, but in the US, it needs to be declared as an OTC drug, which raises higher requirements for raw material suppliers. Therefore, Wilson established a three-dimensional compliance framework: 1) Ingredient traceability to ensure quantified preparation can be verified, 2) Multi-national data dynamic matching for target markets, 3) Shipping simulation to predict the stability risk of aerosol cans. By integrating the concept of "finished formulations" from the FDA into the research and development phase, it can effectively avoid the risk of returns due to regulatory differences, opening up international markets for innovative aerosol cosmetics such as whitening sprays and sunscreen mousses.

Cleansing gel and facial cleanser both seem to be used for cleaning the face, but there are significant differences between them Here are the main features of both:

1. physical properties

Facial cleanser usually contains oil, which can effectively clean and dissolve fat-soluble dirt. Cleansing gel is a water-based product, usually more suitable for oily or combination skin, and also easier to wash off.

2. Low irritability

Facial cleansers usually include mild ingredients in their formula to reduce skin irritation. Since the cleansing gel is water-based, it usually doesn't contain oil, so it has very little skin irritation.

3. Cleaning effect

The cleansing gel deeply cleanses, effectively removing dirt and oil from the pores. Facial cleanser focuses more on restoring oil balance and keeping the skin hydrated.

To choose the right facial cleanser, it's best to first understand your skin type. People with oily skin can prioritize choosing a cleansing gel, as using a cleansing milk might make the skin feel greasier. For dry and sensitive skin individuals, using a facial cleanser is suitable to avoid discomfort or dryness caused by excessive cleansing.

Let me take you through what is under aerosol? Aerosols are a very common form of cosmetic product, they are products that contain a propellant, when you press a button, the pressure of the propellant pushes the contents to release in the intended form. Because of this release method, aerosols are useful in many situations. For example, they are used in places where there is a lot of air circulation.

Aerosols are a common form of cosmetic products, they are usually packaged in icon/aluminum cans and are divided into two types: aerosol can and bag-on-valve (BOV) aerosols.Aerosol can do not have an inner bag and require explosion-proof workshops for production, while BOV aerosols have an inner bag and are able to withstand higher temperatures, resulting in better product safety and purer raw materials. Aerosols are not only used in cosmetics, but also widely used in portable gas, insecticides and other fields. In the field of cosmetics, aerosol products are very common, such as hydrating sprays, sunscreen sprays, cleansing mousses, dry hair sprays, depilatory creams, and foaming shower gels.
