Green Skin (shaving facial hair)

Hey,

well i been shaving my facial hair for a while now, mainly sideburns and 'gotee' area. And basically the places i have shaven, now have a greenish colour skin tone, i now men get it as they contnue to shave.

The thing is im only nearly 16, and i dont want to have loadsa green skin really soon. Is there any creams or that one can take, in order to slow down or clear up the green skin??

i was thinking that...
Green - wanna post a pic? Are you sure it's not just weird light combined with stubble? I would just moisturise it after shaving. What sort of shaver do you use?

Maybe change your razor?

not goblin green, but light green,

as i dont have too thick facial hair, i basically put a bit of gillete shaving cream, and use a simple orange shaving stick. Dont really aplly any creams or moisturisers afterwards.
I would do the following:

Buy yourself a Mach 3 (or similar)
Get some decent shaving foam/gel.
Wash your face before shaving.
Rinse afterwards with warm water.
Put on some moisturiser.
Also aftershave might work, it gives me a bit of colour anyway.

It's just the stubble shadow with light skin looks green. If you have dark hair.
