When hair begins to grow back into the skin rather than up and out, it causes ingrown hairs. The hair may curl and turn inward after being shaved, waxed, or pluck. The hair becomes entrapped as new skin cells grow over it, resulting in a bump.
Razor bumps can appear wherever a person shaves or removes hair, including the pubic region, armpits, face, and head. Razor burns and ingrown hairs are unsightly and uncomfortable conditions that can, thankfully, be avoided. They frequently occur because of poor shaving habits, such as shaving too close to the skin or with a dull razor.
Applying topical salicylic acid, retinoids, or antibiotics, avoiding shaving or trying a new hair removal method, and taking preventative measures before, during, and after shaving are all ways to treat razor bumps.
Razor Bumps Treatment-
Calendula Cream-Calendula cream promotes the production of collagen, an essential protein for glowing skin, which in turn soothes your skin. This also helps to keep skin hydrated and soothed.
Almond Oil, Coconut Oil and Tea Tree Oil-Almond oil is extremely calming, making it an excellent moisturizer for softening your skin, while coconut oil has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. Tea tree oil, on the other hand, can heal minor wounds and soothe burns and has an anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial effect.
Witch Hazel-Witch hazel contains tannin, which has anti-inflammatory properties. Witch hazel is frequently utilized as an astringent. It can treat minor skin irritations, ease pain, and soothe burns.
Exfoliate-Ingrown hairs can cause razor bumps. These are hairs that are growing out but then curl back into the skin and penetrate it, causing bumps that look like pimples, inflammation, itchiness, and irritation. Before shaving, exfoliate your skin to get rid of dead skin and prevent ingrown hairs. Additionally, exfoliating can aid in the removal of embedded ingrown hairs.
Aloe Vera-Aloe vera contains enzymes that help to reduce inflammation. Aloe vera is used in a lot of medical creams for burns, cuts, and scrapes. This makes it a good treatment for razor bumps and other minor injuries.
Other Natural Oils- The skin can be softened and hydrated with a variety of natural oils, which can lessen the sensations of burning, tenderness, and itching. Dry skin can also be treated with other emollients like unscented lotions, aftershaves, and moisturizers.
