I'm not sure any of thing will clear them up by tomorrow, but as weird as these are, they work:

Take 2 uncoated aspirins and add a small amount of water to dissolve them and make a paste, Apply to your face and leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse off. This one is probably the most effective.

Witch hazel is very good for razor burn. It reduces redness, inflammation and the burning.

Apply cider vinegar to your face with a cotton ball.

Mash 2 strawberries and mix with a spoonful of sour cream. Apply this to your face for 10 minutes. Rinse off. This one is also very effective.

Aloe vera.

Using a shaving gel like Neutrogena is good for shaving. Gels are much better than creams at preventing razor burn.

I would also recommend using a shaving balm (or a least witch hazel) immediately after shaving to prevent future flareups.

Yogurt Razor-Bump Soother
Hotel Casa del Mar’s Murad Spa, Los Angeles

Grab:
1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 medium cucumber, peeled and chopped

Go:
Purée the yogurt and cucumber in a blender. Then put the mixture in a bowl. Sit on the bathroom floor on a towel (to avoid making a mess), and apply the yogurt-cucumber mixture to your bikini area. Grab a magazine (Health, preferably) and wait 15 minutes. Then rinse with cool water. Try using this recipe either after shaving or whenever you have a minor razor-bump breakout.

How it works:
The cucumber acts as an anti-inflammatory to calm shaving irritation, while the yogurt’s lactic acid gently exfoliates your skin to help prevent future ingrowns.

Apply a cool compress & then sooth your skin w/ aloe vera gel or an alcohol free witch hazel toner.

You can also apply a soothing yogurt mask.
1/4 - 1/3 cup whole milk yogurt, 1 tblsp. honey & 2 tblsp. or so of ground oatmeal to make a paste. Apply a thin layer & let it sit for 10 minutes. Rinse off w/ cool water.

Yogurt & oatmeal will help sooth the skin. Honey is a humectant & has antibacterial properties.
