If you remove hair regularly, anywhere or anyhow, you’ve probably experienced shaving bumps. These appear as the odd pimple or pop up as a whole rash of little red bumps. Not only do they get in the way of beautifully smooth skin, they can also be irritating and painful.
The best way to prevent razor bumps in the long term is to know the right preparation, tools and methods for a skin-friendly shave. Read on for our top five tips to avoid shaving bumps and look forward to smooth, spotless skin!
During shaving, the blade of your razor can chafe on your skin and lead to inflammation in the hair roots, thus creating shaving pimples. Despite the name, other hair removal methods can cause shaving pimples – for example, when hair roots are only partially removed during waxing.
All skin types can suffer from shaving bumps. Dry and sensitive skin is especially vulnerable, because the skin’s natural protective barrier is weaker. For oily or combination skin on the other hand, excess sebum can clog pores which also leads to inflammation. So, if no one is immune, what’s the best way to get rid of razor bumps?
Shaving pimples and ingrown hair bumps will usually disappear on their own, and as with other skin blemishes, picking at them or giving them too much attention will only make them worse. You can soothe painful shaving spots with a calming aloe vera lotion or by applying a warm compress to ingrown hair bumps to encourage the hair to work its way out faster. But ultimately, the best way to get rid of razor bumps is to leave them alone to recover.
Instead of wondering how to get rid of razor bumps, the best approach is to know how to prevent shaving bumps in the first place. Read on for some top tips to avoid shaving bumps and enjoy smooth, calm skin from now on.
