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,first thanks because now I know why my legs itch or stings so much,too. But my question is this, i have lines on my underarms like marks. and I want to get rid of them as I'm gonna spend summer on Disney and ofcourse I want to go to the water parks.Please,do you have some advice on how can I get rid off them? thanks... Smile



Start exfoliating once a week with a drugstore scrub, like the ones by Clean and Clear.  By doing this, you're getting rid of all of the dead skin cells and helping your body show of the new, eventually fading your marks over time hopefully. Jordan S.

1. Say your name 10 times.
2. Say your mom's name 5 times.
3. Say your crush's name 3 times.
4. Paste this to 4 other quizzes. If you do this, your crush will kiss you on the nearest Friday, but if you read this and do not paste this, then you will have very bad luck! SEND THIS TO 5 QUIZZES IN 143 MINUTES. WHEN YOU'RE DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR CRUSH'S NAME WILL APPEAR IN BIG LETTERS ON THE SCREEN. THIS IS SO FREAKY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS

Which is better: electric or reusable razor?




Personally, I love reusable (also known as disposable) razors. It's a personal choice and I know my mom used an electric razor for a long time so it works well, but I prefer disposables!

MOD MOD MOD thx about answering my question I have 1 more I ask everybody they said wait waitwait so I'm coming to u my period will be the same time in July that I'm going on vacation what do you where in the water like a pool and ocean I am not allowed to wear tampons and I love to swim I dont wanna miss out what should I do

Hey girl,

Try talking to your mom about the situation -- maybe she'll let you wear tampons since it's a special occasion. If not, hopefully you'll be lucky and your period won't last the whole trip!

hiya! thanks so much for answering my question last time ! ok so my new question is im going to stay at a hotel with my dad lil sis n bro tommorow n were going swimming tommorow i wanna radiate confidence ima wear a tankini but i look fiiineee lol Smile but anyways i wanna radiate confidence and its kinda weird cuz im on my period so ima have to use tampons and well its gonna be awkward anyways cuz its gonna be around my dad like wearing a swimsuit and i look goood in it :/ and what if theres guys! ok well my plan is to just play with my lil sis and brother making them happy n thts nice but i look like really good in my swimsuit and my dads gonna be there so how do i not be self concious bout that and whht do i do if theres guys and i wanna flirt wihout my dad killing me / them or possibly him not even seeing




Hey babe,

The best way to get this off your mind? Enjoy yourself enough that you don't even have time to think about it! Dad could probably see you in a sweatshirt/jeans and think you're showing too much skin haha - you're his little girl, so he's going to be protective. But that doesn't mean you aren't growing up. It's a fact! Try to embrace it and don't feel awkward. You're wearing a tankini, not a bikini, so that's some extra coverage that should make you feel better. And you know not to flaunt your body - that would be super awkward and uncomfy, plus kinda disrespectful to your fam. Avoid that and just have a playful convo if you see any cuties near ya. But mostly, focus on your sibs and have a great time!!!! <3

Flavor: A minty gloss that tastes and smells just as scrumptious as the original cookies.

Fab Fact: This yummy collaboration was cooked up in 2011.

A person should change their shampoo every six months because the hair will get used to it and does not get clean.
