What is the best way to get rid of razor burn?

I am starting to get razor burn really bad, and im not sure what to do about it, its really embrassing. If anyone has any ideas, please help me! :)thankss!|||Do:





Use a mild exfoliant that contains salicylic acid daily. This will slough off old, dead surface skin that otherwise could clog up your pores and limit oxygen to the effected areas. Do not scrub razor-burned skin. (ow!)


Use aloe vera or tea tree oil creams and sprays. They will speed up your recovery and soothe that raw feeling that accompanies razor burn.


Shave carefully until it heals, switch to a razor with a single-blade or wire guard for a while. The shave won鈥檛 be close, but you won鈥檛 be slicing your skin up before it can heal either.


If you continue shaving, combine these steps with the preventative steps in the next section.


Do not:





Use any products containing alcohol - it will dry out your skin and increase irritation.


Scrub or scratch razor burned skin. It will increase irritation and the risk of infection.


Apply colognes or perfumes to razor burned skin.|||change your blade|||Lots of lotion!|||Same here, i just use rubbing alcohol and in like ten minutes my bumps are gone! I hope it works for you!|||Use a new blade each time, use a very moisturizing shaving cream (I like Edge and have used it for decades!!!), and if you still have such delicate skin that you get a rash, have some 98% pure aloe vera gel handy to put on it. Aloe works on any type of "burn" including carpet burns, sun burn, skinned knees, and razor burn.





** peace **





PS Don't use the kind of aloe that has ingredients in it for "sunburn relief". Use the pure kind. You can get it at Walgreen's, Whole Foods, etc.
