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!

Hey yesterday I noticed bumps under my eyebrowas almost like freckles today people kept pointing them out to me . I might go see a dermatologist if it doesn't go away but do you think you know what it is and how I can make them go away




Hey babe!

It could be blackheads/clogged pores or ingrown hairs.  I think your best bet is to take a trip to the dermatologist though.

I have this weird bruise on my leg. Its been there a long time now. Are there any tricks on how to remove it??


 Hey dramagurl2222, cocoa butter and neosporin may help in lessing the appearance of it. Also try hitting up the aisles in Rite-Aid and CVS for some scar ointment that helps with getting rid of bruises. Hope this helps! Xoxo

Hi! i have stretch marks on my hips, and when i was trying on my bikini, i noticed that my bottoms don't cover them up. does cocoa butter work for this? what should i use?



Hey babe!

Yes, cocoa butter should help diminish them over time.  If it does not, you can always try a Vitamin E treatment by using either Vitamin E oil or A&E cremes.

Mod! Mod ! Mod! I'm go g to great wolf lodge for spring break. I was wondering what binkini to wear to flatter my hourglass/ruler figure. P.S. i need so Todd workouts and diets to get a good binkini body by spring break thanks so much

 

Hey Haileygab, bikinis, cut-out one pieces, high waist bottoms and halter swim tops would look great on you. Be sure you're jogging, doing jumping jacks, bicycling, trying sit ups and push ups to shed pounds. Eating fruits, veggies, and drinking water will help too. Check out our Health&Fitness page for more tips. Good luck girl! Xoxo
