TMI but I've always gotten really bad razor burn like this.... Do any over you have this problem and found something to help it?

Question

Answer

My razor burn got worse while pregnant... so now I just shave when I absolutely have to! And I go with the hair not against.

Answer

I did. Try using conditioner or I found and amazing shave lotion called rid, they sell it at walgreens... Also I switched to a man's 5 blade razor with little to no moisture strips on them. Shave using really hot steamy water and while still in shower use baby oil over all shaved areas.

Answer

Hydrocortisone will clear it up, and i use veet all over my body, its like nair but not as strong & it says for body use

Answer

Only shave every few days & I use coconut oil instead of shave gel

Answer

I wax for this very reason 😕 guess we just have sensitive skin. I do second the opinion on coconut oil though, that did make an improvement!

Answer

I've had days like this where the razor burn just flares up.

What helps is to exfoliate the crap out of your skin before you shave and s few times after to help open those pores and shed the skin and oil that may cause them to get clogged. Also try to do it in as few passes as possible with a very sharp new blade. Make sure you are doing it in a warm shower or bath. You want your pores to be steamed open for a smoother shave. 
They also have a razor burn preventor like bump patrol that they sell in the men's shaving isle. I put that on right after I shave and it does burn for a couple of seconds! Lastly I put on either talc free body powder to reduce friction and keep doing that for the next two days.

I've always been prone to razor burn like that but following this method has helped minimize the damage. Also try cool witch hazel for your skin is really aggravated like that. Witch hazel soothes the burn and helps dry out the clogged pores.

Answer

Uhg mine does. It wasn't as bad when I was younger or maybe I just ignored it. But I swear it's gotten worse. I was gonna wax but my hair is course. Not thick just course. So it didn't work well. Uhg. I wish I could find a relief so it would be pretty all the time haha

Answer

Make sure you're only shaving with the grain not against the grain. The opposite of how you'd do your legs

Answer

I did until I used conditioner to get a close shave and used a new razor after like the second time using it. Also, I put a little coconut oil on my legs after to prevent the bumps from coming and Aloe Vera for razor burns.

Answer

Tea tree oil after you shave is good.
