There are many different ways to avoid the risk of getting razor burn, follow these steps...

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Clean Razor
  1. Step 1

    Pick the right razor just for you. Make sure you go after the razor of your sex, meaning if you're female, get a razor designed especially for females and vice versa. Also change up every month or two, don't keep using the same razor over and over or it will irritate your skin.

  2. Step 2

    Apply lotions or aftershave at least 20 minutes after you get thru shaving.

  3. Step 3

    Use shaving creams or lotions that have aloe Vera in them. The aloe vera will not only soothe the skin but will also repair it if it's damaged due to existing or new forming bumps.

  4. Step 4

    Using hydrocortisone cream will also aid in helping relieve the pain and itching of razor bumps.
