How to PREVENT SHAVING BUMPS!

Nobody likes those little red itchy bumps you get after shaving, especially in the bikini zone! Here is an easy way to prevent shaving bumps and to have smooth skin that is rash and bump-free.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• shaving cream
• razor, preferably with a new blade.
• soft dry towel
• warm to hot water

1. 

   Soak your skin by sitting in a warm to hot bath or shower for a few minutes. Lather up your shaving area with some shaving cream, being careful not to get the shaving cream in places that may get irritated.

2. 

   Taking your razor, shave the area using longer strokes going WITH THE GRAIN. This means that you should not shave the opposite direction that your hair is coming out. Shaving against the grain may give your a super smooth feel, but it REALLY causes you to have shaving bumps. This is particularly true for the bikini zone.

3. 

   After all the areas are shaved, ally some Aloe Vera gel or a good lotion that is free of chemicals or perfumes. This is an important step and will make your shaved areas smooth and hair free without the painful shaving rash or bumps!

Tips & Warnings

• Do not shave against the grain, go WITH the grain to prevent bumps.
• Always apply lotion after you shave.
• Keep razors and shaving creams out of reach of children at all times.
