How do you get rid of razorburn?

Answer 1

Moisturizer and time. You might even try a bit of olive oil as it tends to soak into skin and help heal it faster.

The best solution, though, is to avoid it in the first place. Razor burn is caused by a variety of things... usually it's pressing too hard with the razor and removing a layer of skin rather than just the hair, a dull or dirty razor, or inadequate preparation for shaving.

To avoid razor burn, take your time. Do it in the shower or after a bath: the longer you soak the area, the softer the hair will be. After 5 or so minutes in the shower, you should be ok. Then apply shaving cream or gel and let it sit for a while... this softens the hair further and makes it easier for the razor to cut.

When you start with the razor, use as little pressure as you can. Let the razor do the work. The goal is to avoid irritating the skin. Use longer strokes where you can rather than short jerks. Clean out the razor often to keep hair from clogging it. Go with the grain or from the side as much as you can. Going against it tends to cause more ingrown hairs and infections if you're not careful - both of these cause bumps and raw skin. If you have to do another pass, feel free - just make sure you're not pushing the razor. After you're done, use an astringent (witch hazel or Listerine) and then apply moisturizer. This should prevent bumps in most cases. As your skin and hair dries, the stubble should dip slightly below the surface and leave your skin feeling extra smooth.

I've also heard that exfoliating before shaving can make it easier as the skin is smoother, but I can't verify this. Until then, just use a good moisturizer.

Answer 2

I have tried to figure that one out myself! I read somewhere that if you apply deodorant to the shaved area after shaving that you won't get razorburn. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Answer 3

prepare a very super moisturizing lotion throughout your razorburn each couple hours and it is going to appease it. you additionally can attempt some neosporin with soreness reliever. That has a relaxing result on any variety of burns. If those dont paintings then rubbing aloe vera gel on the razorburn will help lots too.

Aloe Vera Gel! you can get it at most beauty store! I am assuming that it is for a common razor burn. (read the label)
