How can you prevent razor and burn bumps from coming up on your legs after shaving?

Question

I already use shaving cream and lotion. Is there a lotion for razor burn and bumps?

Answer 1

Your best bet is to prevent it from happening to begin with. How? Use a new razor (used ones laying around rust and carry bacteria) It's best to shave in the shower after your skin has been softened and pores opened from warm water. Use a shaving cream, not soap. Shave down with your hair, not up against it. Also exfoliating your legs with a good body scrub, removes dead skin giving you a closer shave. Use a lotion with aloe or camomille in it for soothing.

Answer 2

Try shaving in the bath, soak legs for about 3-5 minutes and then shave and put back in the water. If that doesn't work for you then you can get bump stop products in the black hair care section of the beauty supply.

Answer 3

exfoliate your legs well b4 shaving and let the cream/lotion sit on your legs a few mins b4 u begin shaving and make 100% sure the blade is super sharp. this will more than likely cure your problems with shaving.
good luck
