SHAVE YOUR UNDEARMS WITHOUT BUMPS

If you are prone to getting shaving bumps or razor rash, just follow this simple step-by-step guide to shaving your underarms. You will have smooth skin and no rashes!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • shaving cream
  • a razor, preferably with a new blade.
  • warm to hot water
  1. Step 1
     

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

  2. Step 2
     

    Shave your underarms WITH the grain. This step is vital. Shaving with the grain means to shave going the SAME direction as the hair's natural growth. This will prevent the ingrown hairs, or bumps.

  3. Step 3
     

    After you are finished, dry off and moisturize with a natural lotion or aloe vera gel. Only do this after your skin has dried completely.
