If you've used an older razor, have sensitive skin or haven't cleaned your razor properly before using it - you've probably experienced razor rash or bumps. Razor bumps are most often caused by a freshly shaven hair that has been cut at an angle, which makes it more sharp. The hair curls back against the skin, penetrating the skin and causing the body react by treating it like an infection causing painful swelling and the tell-tale red bumps. Below are a few natural cures to sooth your skin
Aloe: A leaf cut open and the goo applied straight to the rash works wonders
Asprin Tablets: Crush 2 or 3 tablets in to a little water just enough to make a paste. Rub paste on the effected area
Tea Tree Oil: Mixed with water in a spritzer bottle -- spray on your skin a few minutes after shaving
Deodorant: (see my posting from last week on how to make it) keep a separate stick for your bikini area apply it right after shaving.
Rubbing Alcohol: For your razor not on your face! Rinsing your razor before and after use with a little rubbing alcohol will help keep it clean.
