If you’re a girl who prefers the feel and look of being clean-shaven, you will know all too well the horrific pain of a shaving rash. Those tiny red bumps and seemingly endless bleeding when you jump out of the shower are the worst thing about shaving and are almost enough to make us quit altogether. But we always go back, so here are some handy hints to avoid hellish bumps after shaving.
Find a gentle exfoliating wash and/or a loofah to rub around the area you plan on removing hair. It’ll soften the hair and the skin, making it much easier to shave.
Once you get in the shower, shampoo and condition first before moving on to the task at hand. The steam will help out with softening and relaxing the area.
Men shave too, and lucky for us, they get extra gentle razors for their faces. Swap out your sensitive shavers for a four-bladed man’s one.
Like the razor, men’s products are intended for the face, and so are super sensitive. Try to give a gel or foam a try to help you when shaving.
Yep, sounds weird and not at all like something you would even think about doing, but it works. After you’re all hair-free and dry, wack on deodorant (an unscented stick). It stops chafing and therefore pesky bumps.
If you’ve left it a really long time (3 days is the best shout) between shaves, its recommended that you cut down the hairs first. More hair= duller razor, and dull razor= burning and irritation.
Stay away from tight clothing and stick to cotton underwear on the day that you shave to prevent chafing. Hey, is this an excuse for wearing joggers to work?
Taking shorter strokes mean you will be lighter on your skin, which is way better for any sensitive areas, plus, lengthy strokes mean picking up more hair- another risk for a dull blade.
