We all get them. We all hate them. But, do we all know how to stop them? Razor bumps. Ouch. Just thinking of those tiny, little, itchy bumps that insidiously appear after a shower that includes shaving makes me wince. Razor too dull? Shaving cream not working? Ingrown hairs? Irritation? Just plain carelessness?
Regardless of what’s causing those undesirable bumps, we have the solutions for you. Say goodbye to razor bumps and hello to smooth, soft, beautiful skin!
First, the razor you use should always be sharp and in tiptop condition. If your razor is sporting rust marks get rid of it fast – don’t use it again! Always start with a razor that is easy to grip and has a new blade. The next important issue for a smooth, close shave is to have a lubricant between the skin and razor that provides for easy gliding of the razor across the skin. The goal is for the sharp blade of the razor to easily cut the hair at the base without nicking the skin at all.
There are literally thousands of shaving creams out there, but don’t be fooled – they are not created equal. If it’s a smooth, razor bump-free shave you’re looking for then Dermalogica Professional Shave is the cream you’ll need. This professional shaving cream is made with organic silicone and essential oils that guarantees a close and nick-proof shave. The micro-thin cushion formed between the razor and skin eliminates the potential for redness, irritation and cuts while the antiseptic camphor further adds to a beautiful finished shave.
Dermalogica Professional Shave can be used by both women and men, on all skin types and for all areas that require shaving. No need to worry if you are notorious for sensitive skin, you’ll love this easy to use cream without fear of irritation or redness.
Ok, so you’ve made it through the shaving part with no cuts, nicks or razor bumps. But, now your skin is dry! Not a problem, there are a wide variety of products meant to nourish and moisturize skin that has lost its natural oils in the shower or bath.
For smooth skin that feels refreshed and pampered reach for Dr. Brandt “C” After Shave. Made specifically for newly shaved skin this after shave can be used on faces, legs, underarms and bikini lines to leave the skin silky soft and smooth to the touch. This after shave is chockfull of yummy and skin nourishing ingredients like green tea leaf extract, aloe vera, willow bark and rosemary leaf. The results? Skin that not only looks pampered but feels luxurious as well.
If you are ready to tackle your bikini line this summer don’t forget to head to the shower with your bag of Bikini Zone products. The Bikini Zone AntiBump Shave Gel will virtually eliminate the potential for painful little bumps that can drive you crazy trying not to itch them in public. After shaving, immediately use the Bikini Zone Gel or Bikini Zone Medicated Cream which will stop any razor bumps in their tracks before forming! Finally, there’s a way to remove that unwanted hair without gaining unwanted red bumps. This summer be sure that you aren’t the one caught walking funny while trying to itch the bumps without being noticed!
In the winter months many of us can get away with shaving every few days. In the summer though a more regular shaving routine is in order and the potential for razor bumps is greatly increased. Ingrown hairs become a worrisome problem on top of the already troubling razor bumps, the dry, chalky skin and the hair stubble. But, don’t worry. If you have this one little item around you’ll be just fine. Bliss Ingrown Hair Eliminating Peeling Pads are a great product to carry with you while on the go and make sure you have an extra box handy for home. You’ll use them often! These little pads will magically get rid of intrafollicular lumps and bumps (or razor bumps and ingrown hairs in general terminology). Simply swipe the pads across the problem regions and viola! smooth, silky, healthy skin is back. The pads are soaked in hydroxy acids made to reduce irritation and inflammation.
This summer don’t let the fear of razor bumps keep you from donning that cute little mini skirt or those daisy duke shorts. No, not this year! Armed with information on how to obtain a great, close and smooth shave plus the products you need to deliver beautiful skin after every shave you’ll be the envy of the beach!
