How to Shave Your Underarms Without Bumps

Protect your underarms from shaving bumps.

Shaving bumps and razor rash mar the silky smooth look your skin has right after shaving. Prepare your sensitive skin before shaving to minimize the risk of creating bumps. Use a sharp razor, don't press hard and choose a rich shaving cream or gel to help protect your skin.

Things You'll Need

• Shaving cream
• Moisturizing lotion

Instructions

1. Relax in a warm to hot tub or shower for about 15 to 20 minutes to soften the skin. Then lather your underarms with the shaving cream.

2. Shave your underarms in the same direction as the hair's natural growth. This helps prevent ingrown hairs and bumps.

3. Dry off and moisturize with a natural lotion or aloe vera gel. Only do this after your skin has dried completely.
