Once you shave, apply a THIN layer of neosporin over the area you just shaved. Do this each and everytime. This will help the razor burns and in time the ingrown hairs. Also, for the ingrown hairs exfoliate 2-3times per week. You should notice a big difference within 7-10 days or so...

My husband has the worst problems with shaving- a tough beard, and what he refers to as "tissue paper skin" equals razor bumps galore! We've tried many products, and have found that That Art of Shaving company makes a fab ingrown hair lotion, which was featured in the January 2007 Marie Claire as being a great product, that works very well. It reduces inflammation and improves the skin's texture. It's a bit pricey ($40 for 1.7 oz.), but you don't need to use loads each time, so it lasts a while. Buy yourself a very good razor, even if it cost more than disposables, because it will make all the difference. My husband has been shaving with a light hair conditioner for years, as it really softens the hairs before he shaves. Also, if you can get away with shaving every other day, it'll give your skin a much needed break.

Shave with a sharp, high quality razor every time. Don't use the same razor more than a few times, as they dull fast on a coarse beard. Try shaving after showering and at night. This softens the skin and hair follicles. Your skin can "recover" while you sleep. This should lessen irritation due to daily activities, including sweating and irritation due to clothing. It is also important to shave every day, as this keeps the stubble short and easier to remove. Razor bumps are small infections, like a "superficial pimple". A topical or oral antibiotic might be helpful. I would see a dermatologist for the best one.

Bath & Body Works has a product called "Over The Bump" from their True Blue Spa collection that targets ingrown hair and razor bumps. It can be used on face,underarms,legs, or bikini areas. All you do is roll it on the targeted area. It is simple and inexpensive. ($15.00 for 2.7 fl oz) I use it every day and have not had a problem since I started using it.

i found that the best way to do it is to let you facial hair grow in for about a month or so or until you notice the bumps disappear (if you have a professional job,trim your beard with an electric razor).when you have reached your desired skin condition, smear cold cream on your beard and through the underlying skin.wait 5 minutes and shave.use and astringent afterwards then moisturize.it always works.my skin is flawless now
