Get Mavericks Skin Care

Bryan Holt

Advancements in shaving cream, gel, and face wash have been stagnant over the last decade, but that is all about to change due to a new skin care startup, Mavericks skin care. The Silicon Valley based company has utilized the prowess of science in their brand new line of products for men. Created by former software engineer, Brad Yim, these products were inspired by Yim’s ambition to make taking care of your face as simple and easy as possible.

A lot of men may find shaving to be a chore, including myself sometimes. Is this why beards have become so popular nowadays? Definitely not, but it sure makes the decision sound more enticing.

Shaving can be time consuming when you take pre-lathering and applying aftershave into account. Using low-quality, or even many of the so-called high-quality products, that are not suited for you can lead to skin irritation and increase your chances of getting ingrown hairs. Mavericks skin care tackles irritated and damaged skin with two products: FACE KIT and SHAVE.

The two can be bought separately, but it’s highly recommended to be used in tandem in order to achieve the full effect. Both products emphasize efficiency with beneficial vitamins and are free of controversial ingredients such as parabens, synthetic dyes, and fragrances.

The Mavericks FACE KIT includes a face wash, protective cream, and nighttime moisturizer which will work together to protect and repair skin after a day of enduring the outside elements. With this one minute routine, you can maximize results when face-to-face with the blade without thinking twice.

Now, let’s delve into the simple routine that will keep you looking, and feeling, fresh.

Step one is a face wash, or the skin’s oxygen tank, which has a healing minty scent and smooth finish. Mavericks’ face wash is specifically made to loosen dead skin cells and expedite the exfoliation process.

Next is the Protect face lotion that provides a dose hyaluronic acid (which can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water) to keep your skin hydrated throughout the day and also protect against heavy UV exposure with a boost of SPF 30.

The last step in the face wash trifecta is the rebuilding phase. Mavericks skin care’s Rebuild cream acts as a body building supplement for your face by fighting inflammation and increasing the blood flow in your skin. This will allow your skin to renew itself and grow stronger, just like the rest of your body does while you sleep.

Check out their FACE KIT video below to see the process in practice.

Now on to SHAVE, or Mavericks skin care’s deal maker. With 70 shaves in each tube, the $25 cream will go a long way, especially because it’s a moisturizer, shaving cream and aftershave all in one. It’s designed to condition stubble and soften skin in order for the razor blade to cut as close to the skin as possible, allowing for less irritation and a fresher finish.

They also have a demo for SHAVE you can check out below.

One of the coolest aspects about Mavericks is that they manufacture all of their products right here in the U.S. and they never test any of their products on animals.

The FACE KIT and SHAVE cannot be found in stores, so you must head over to getmavericks.com to place an order. Mine is already in the mail.

Does beard growth oil work? What you should know
Man putting beard oil on his beard.

Growing the perfect beard is a lifelong quest for some, and though there are plenty of tips to help you grow a beard, sometimes you can benefit from a little outside intervention. You might have seen adverts for beard growth oil and wondered if that would help you grow a thicker and more lustrous beard, along with various other oils for softening or brushes and other tools to help maintain your skin.

There's a lot of options when it comes to the world of facial hair grooming, because for your beard to look full and well groomed, you need to not only trim it to the right shape but also make sure that both the hair and the skin of your face are well looked after and in good condition. You might also just need to be patient, as it can take some time for facial hair to grow in to the length that you want. The basic advice for growing in a beard that looks great are to give it time and make sure you're taking care of your health -- like getting enough sleep, eating a health diet, and taking exercise. But we all know we're supposed to do those things anyway, and there are some products that can help give your beard a nudge along the way.

How often should you change your razor blades?

It's a hassle and an annoyance, but when it comes to your daily shaving ritual something that you absolutely don't want to skip is changing out your razor blade. Trying to shave with a dull razor is bad for your skin and can cause razor bumps, plus creating a higher likelihood of problems like infections, and it will do a poor job of removing hair, resulting in a patchy shave. If you're not up for trying out a straight razor, then you'll need to get into the habit of regularly swapping out the replaceable blades on your razor or using fresh disposable razors instead. Knowing when to swap out your old blades for new ones will help keep your skin happy and your face looking its best, so our guide can help you work out how often you need to change your razor blades.

How often you should change your razor blades
According to the American Academy of Dermatologists, you should change your razor blades or throw away disposable razors after every five to seven shaves. High-quality razor blades should last five to seven shaves if you take care of them properly and keep them clean. However, cheaper disposable razors may wear out sooner.
Signs it’s time to change your razor blades include skin irritation after shaving, a less close shave, patchy areas or spots missed, skin that still feels rough after, dullness of the blades, feeling hairs are getting pulled instead of cut, and excessive friction of the blades across your skin that it feels like you have to drag it over your skin.
Moreover, a razor that has an accumulation of gunk that can’t be rinsed away should be immediately discarded, as this causes nicks and infections by dragging unevenly across your skin and introducing harbored bacteria into your pores.
