I find that a bit of tee tree oil mixed with watter in a spray bottle keeps me from getting razor burn, and I got it EVERY time I shaved. Just spritz on after drying off and then moisturize well.

Apply creamy peanut butter to the affected area for 10 -15 minutes. wipe clean and follow by rubbing lemons or lemon juice and sprinkle salt on it. immediately rinse and pat dry. let skin breathe for awhile and it should feel and look 10 times better.

Dissolve two uncoated aspirins with some warm water to make a thin runny paste. Put onto skin after shaving, leave on for 30 seconds.

I usually shave my arms in the shower, but had failed to do so today. Therefore, I made the dumb decision to do so after. Upon arrival at work, I noticed my arms were red & bumpy from razor burn & of course I don't have on long sleeves! I put lotion on, which made it burn worse, so I let warm water run over them for a minute and used aloe soap. Then, I immediately searched my purse and found Hydrocortizone Cream to apply. It didn't work immediately lol so my impatience led me to also apply Triple antibiotic Pain Relief Ointment on top of that. I decided to take advil since I know it helps with inflammation. Within 30 min I was pleasantly surprised that my concoction worked! Woo hoo no more redness! Good luck :)

First apply either conditioner or thick lotion to the area you are shaving, and let it sit for 1-2 minutes. Shave. Towel dry, and then put distilled vinegar on a cotton ball and pat the area (this will burn for about 30 seconds). Take 600mg of ibuprofen. Let the area breathe, then apply A&D ointment or neosporin. I also used hydro cortisone cream about an hour after I applied the ointment. Works perfectly!!But remember, beauty is pain.

Simply put aloe vera on the effected area. This also helps with razor bumps.

Razor burn is a medical condition in which the razor leaves tiny microscopic cuts on the area, that get infected. A painless way to get rid of the infection quicker, is to soak the affected area in a wark bathtub saturated with epsom salts, available at any walmart or rite aid. It draws out the infection. It will not cause you any pain. Try doing so for 20 minutes each treatment, till it goes away. Thanks. Hope I helped!

Before you shave, soak the area you are going to shave in warm water. Use shaving cream or soap when you shave. After shaving, apply lotion to the area.
