Killer case of razor burn

  • Just shaved my legs, but I'm still seeing roots!
Whenever I shave my legs after I get out of the shower my legs burn—even if I moisturize! What should I do?

 

It sounds as though you’ve got a case of either razor burn or razor bumps.

 

If you notice more burning than itching, you may have razor burn. First, make sure that the shaving gel or cream you are using is not irritating your skin. Slather it on a test spot and let it soak in for a few minutes before rinsing. If your skin is red or irritated, stop using it. Next, check to ensure that your razor blade is clean and sharp. Dull and dirty blades can irritate your skin. Replace your blade frequently for the closest, comfiest shave. Still feelin’ the burn? Try soothing irritation with a li’l aloe vera.

 

If you find that your legs itch more than they burn, you may have some razor bumps. Razor bumps are caused by ingrown hairs, which are hairs that dig back into the skin instead of growing outwards. You can help prevent them by regularly exfoliating your skin in the shower using a body scrub. While multi-blade razors are the most effective for a smooth shave, if you are consistently seeing the bumps, you may want to switch to a single-blade razor, which is more effective at preventing ingrown hairs.  At bedtime, use a moisturizing lotion to reduce itching. You may want to opt for a fragrance-free lotion to avoid any irritation.

 

Good luck, girlie!

mod mod mod OK i just shaved today should i put lotion on my under arms right after i get outof the shower or what ? oh and i only shave my under arms that is what my comment was meaning the one before this one so read this one also
~thank you Smile

Hey girl, this post says not to put lotion on immediately after shaving because it can irritate your skin.  Hope this helps!

Hey girl, shaving is different for every girl.  You have to decide when you want to shave and how often.  Best of luck finding your own routine!

To girls who want to shave: When you're at the store with your mom and you pass by razors try and build up the courage to ask her if you could try shaving. Or ask when SHE's buying a razor for herself. That's how I started shaving. And if you don't know how to shave when you get your razor then just ask her about it. If she doesn't tell you much or something, I bet there's things online that can tell you how. GL probably has an article about great shaving tips!

MOD MOD MOD MOD!!!!
This is so embarrassing... I always have white-ish bumps on my leg that look like zits. Sometimes when I pick at them a piece of skin oozes out. What I want to know is, what they are and how I can break my bad habit. And, I picked again earlier. Without buying any products , can I make them go away by Sunday?
Thanks! I find this the best site for advice!!! Smile

 

Hey! the only way to really feel reassured is to talk to your doctor about all of these questions Smile To be honest, that's what we mods just have to tell you guys when you come to us with any health concerns. You may very well be fine, but since we're not doctors and we can't even see you face to face, it's not for us to tell you what's fine and what isn't. You know your body. Trust your instincts and talk to your doc!
