10 Natural Remedies for Irritation After Shaving
According to Statistic Brain, 58% of women prefer shaving as a hair removal method and 75% of men shave their face daily. This means that millions of people have to deal with shaving-related problems like irritation and razor burn on a daily basis.
Clamotion has decided to help you get smooth and silky skin as a part of your shaving routine. Here’s our list of useful tips on how to get rid of irritation and rash after you’ve used your razor.
10. Cornstarch or baby powder
Directions: You can actually use one of the over-the-counter baby powders, but if you don’t have that, try mixing some cornstarch with water to make a paste and apply it to the affected areas for 10 minutes. Wash off with water. If you decide to try this method, make sure you don’t have any skin infections.
9. Honey
Directions: Apply raw (organic) honey to the affected area and leave on for 10-15 minutes. Rinse with warm water.
8. Oils (olive oil, tea tree oil, vitamin E oil)
Directions: Choose a type of oil you like (scent, consistency, etc.) and apply to razor burns twice a day using cotton pads. Note that natural plant oils (olive oil, for example) can be used directly on irritated skin, while essential oils (lavender oil, tea tree oil) need to be mixed with water: 4-5 drops of essential oil + 2 tbsp water.
