Blisters that often form around the cheek and chin after shaving beards is a problem that bothers many men. Men who shave beards are mostly affected by thse pimples, and they tend to try all sorts of different things which they think can do away with the pimples.
These pimples are normally caused by various factors which can possibly be prevented by a number of things. These pimples mostly occur as a result of the invasion of bacteria which tend to block the facial hair follicles causing acne.

Another thing that can cause these blisters is the production of too much natural oils (sebum) by the skin. When the hair are shaved, the skin has a way of protecting itself from invasion of bacteria and other germs by producing sebum which blocks the hair follicles thus preventing the entry of pathogenic microorganisms.
To add to that, pimples on the beards may also develop if the shaved area is scratched excessively with the shaving machine. Some people have the tendency of scratching the chin several times as they try to clear all the hair. Doing so results in more dead skin cells on that shaved area which in turn causes blockage of the hair follicles after a while.
To prevent development of these blisters from the chin and cheeks after Shaving, you need to ensure that you apply enough alcohol spirit on the area after being shaved to keep bacteria and other pathogens at bay. You can as well keep the shaved area clean by washing it regularly.
These blisters can also be prevented by applying an oil-free spray to avoid excessive secretion of sebum. Oil-free spray protects the skin from invasion of microorganisms but does not block the hair follicles.
