Get Rid of Razor Bumps Easily and Forever

Get rid of razor bumps with an easy and simple shaving technique. After shaving many people of color or with curly hair suffer from razor bumps and ingrown hairs. Razor bumps occur after shaving when your shave is done improperly.

You can find any number of products online or offline that do work to get rid of razor bumps. However these products need to be used in combination with the right shaving regimen. If you already have ingrown hairs then it’s certainly a good idea to use one of these products to try to lessen the irritation. If you treat the bumps you do have before shaving there will be less of a chance of the problem becoming worse after you shave.

You should also use a needle nosed tweezer to pull out any hairs that may be embedded underneath the top layers of your skin. Don’t pull the hair all the way out from the root, just take it from underneath your skin. Pulling the hair out from the root could cause an infection.

The best way to get rid of razor bumps is to prevent them in the first place. In order to prevent them you need to change the way you shave from now on.

If you follow the steps I’m about to outline you should see a noticeable difference in your razor bumps in a couple of weeks.

* Get a gentle face scrub and use it to wash your face anytime you are going to shave. The scrub will gently remove layers of skin and this in turn will help you get a closer shave.

* Shaving is best done after showering and not before. Therefore, once you use the face scrub take a hot shower and let the heat open your pores and soften your hair for an easier shave. If you choose to you can heat a towel and// use this to wrap around your face.

* Before starting to shave use a shave oil.

* I use a pre-shaving oil along with a shaving gel when I shave. I’ve stopped using the foaming shaving creams and stick to a non-foaming gel or cream. The combo of pre-shave oil and gel or cream lead to easier shaving.

* Never use an old razor to shave. Using an old razor will only lead to more ingrown hairs and razor bumps.

* Stroke your face with the razor in the same direction that your hair grows. For me I shave in a downward slant on my cheeks and straight down on my chin. Avoid shaving in the opposite direction of your hair growth.

When I’m done shaving I use cold water to rinse with. Rinsing with cold water closes the pores.

* To avoid infection after shaving use a razor bump post shave solution or an astringent such as witch hazel.

* Keep your face moisturized after shaving. Try using a face moisturizer that contains SPF as well. This helps with keeping off razor burn.

It’s often said that the more you shave the more razor bumps you’ll get. In my opinion I think it’s better to shave every other day. I find that when I let my hair grow out I get more bumps.

If you take time to follow these steps every time you shave your bumps will clear in no time.
