Have you ever wondered what you did wrong after shaving / hair removal? You know, it's not that difficult! Fortunately, with a little tweaking of your routine, you can become an expert in this regard in just a few days. Let's start with step 1 below!

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Total treatment

Try exfoliating. What's bothering you are ingrown hair clusters. On the surface they look like acne, but they are not. To alleviate this, you should try exfoliating first. An exfoliating process removes the top layer of the skin and can release trapped hairs in the skin.
- Make sure you are dealing with lumpy skin after using a razor. If they are pink or red (or dark if you can see the hair) and itchy, then they are likely razor nodules. They may also look like whiteheads if there is pus on the head. Th-Ẹ-P real!
If that doesn't work, use salicylic acid or glycolic acid. So, since we're dealing with ingrown hairs, all you have to do here is remove the top layer of skin. Salicylic and glycolic acids take care of this.
- These two products promote the circulation of dead skin cells - meaning that the dead skin layers will peel off more quickly when you apply this to your skin. While they don't expose the ingrown hairs, they can speed the process.
If method above also ineffective, you can use a needle and tweezers or a medical instrument to remove the hair that has sunk into the skin. But remember that the needle must be clean! Sterilize the needle with medical alcohol if you do not have a new needle. Insert the needle into the tip of the nodule (blood or pus may drain), then switch to tweezers. Carefully open the hair like a splinter - if you pull it out hard, the next hair may grow backwards as well.
- This should be done very carefully. If not, you could damage the skin, and in the worst case, scarring. Just as bad as the nodules!
Do not scrape irritated skin. Hope you find this plausible. Your skin is rough due to the razor, hence the shave more will only make the situation worse. You should avoid doing this if possible. And if your school or workplace regulations are not to have beard, you can go to your doctor to get a certificate so you don't get fined.
Avoid alcoholic products. This only causes dry, irritated, burned and damaged skin. And if your skin is rough after shaving, alcohol will be the thing that brings disaster and pain! If your lotion contains alcohol then it's wise to throw it away.
- The only time you should use alcohol is to disinfect your skin before using a needle, but only alcohol medical Come on.
Use products containing lidocaine and bacitracin. Many skin care products after shaving contain lidocaine. These are ingredients that are effective against itching and irritation. Bacitracin is also an ingredient in products like Neosporin and has a bactericidal effect. Perhaps without explanation, you know why these two are so useful!
- These products can be applied to rough skin and on healthy skin. They are medicine, at the same time also has a preventive effect.
Don't scratch! The razor bumps can become infected if scratched. When you scratch, you will only spread bacteria and the dirt on your hands will get on your face (even if your hands appear clean). In general, it's best not to touch your face! advertisement

Method 2 of 4: facials

Wash your face twice a day with a facial cleanser or brush dedicated to brushing nodules. Keeping your face clean is an important part of the battle with rough skin after shaving. You need to prevent bacteria and keep the top layer of skin clean.
- If there is shaving…. (which you shouldn't do on a raised skin), use warm water to soften hair and expand pores. Cold water tightens the skin and does not help you.
Apply anti-bumping cream after shaving. Do this every day in the morning and at night. There are many products like these on the market to choose from, and often their quality is comparable. You just go to the pharmacy and ask the seller to buy what you need.
- If you just want to find something readily available at home, a hydrocortisone cream or antibacterial cream can also help reduce inflammation and redness. Retin-A cream is also very effective.
Shave in the direction of the hair growth. The shave line may appear closer when you shave the opposite direction, but shaving in the direction of hair growth will help keep the hair in line. When aligned, the hair is less likely to be twisted and ingrown.
Choose the right skin care product after shaving. Avoid using chemicals such as alcohol or products containing alcohol on the skin you just shaved. Your skin will be extremely sensitive at this point, so it's best to use the non-alcoholic and fragrance-free ones. Read the product label if you are unsure.
- Find a "super moisturizer". Look for lotions that are free of oils, alcohol, and perfumes to make sure your skin doesn't get irritated. According to the dermatology department of the Langone Medical Center, products containing salicylic acid or glycolic acid are most effective in treating razor-induced rough skin. These ingredients unclog pores, moisturize and fight infection.
Consider laser or electrolytic therapy. If the situation has reached the point where a strong solution is needed, you must find a long-term solution. Ask an experienced dermatologist to inquire about this.
- Depending on the type and amount of hair to remove, laser hair removal may not be as expensive as you might think. The cost for a neck hair removal can only cost 3 million. Perhaps well worth your consideration!

Method 3 of 4: Treat the bikini area

Always exfoliate. Exfoliate first and After shaving should be part of the shaving process.The pre-shave cleansing will straighten the hairs, remove dead skin cells and make the shave smoother, more evenly; After shaving, it will wipe away any bacteria that accumulate and unclog pores.
- So if the skin is rough after shaving, exfoliating will remove the dead cells in the top layer of skin and reveal the curl underneath. The more you exfoliate, the shorter this process will be.
Use creams and lotions to combat redness and itching. Every time you shave, complete the procedure with a moisturizer. Aloe, baby oil, or fragrance-free, fragrance-free lotions all work. However, you should consider using a cream specifically designed for rough skin after shaving or another anti-inflammatory cream to treat rough skin.
- Hydrocortisone creams, retin-A creams, and products like Neosporin will help reduce redness and itching. Products containing salicylic acid or glycolic acid (in post-shave lotions) remove the top layer of skin to treat ingrown hair.
Switch to waxing (or don't shave!Some people have very sensitive skin, especially in the bikini area. To remove hair without shaving, switch to waxing. Be aware, however, that waxing can also lead to allergic reactions and ingrown hairs - so be careful with this method as well.
- Another option is to not shave. Yeah, right, you can't help but shave, right? But can you withstand the rough nodules and ingrown hairs? Well, now is the time to choose one of two options. If you often shave, try stretching for a few days between shaves. You'll be OK!
Wear loose-fitting underwear. Avoid irritating factors when your skin is rough after shaving, and tight clothing is at the top of the list. Tight clothing makes your skin "breathless" and as a result, clogged pores, bacteria build up, and the situation gets worse. Oh no!
- Wear loose-fitting clothing, if possible, as well. Tight jeans or tight leggings will not benefit the lumpy skin around the thighs. If someone asks why you are wearing sweatpants, just let them go! But you can also say that you are doing a wikiHow experiment, and that you are unsure of the results but will let them know later.
Use home remedies. If your mother's medicine cabinet runs out of ice cream and you are going to buy it and the car runs out of gas, look for alternative ingredients in the kitchen. Lumpy skin after shaving is not new, and many therapies have proven effective.
- Make a “mask” using ground cucumber and milk (1 part cucumber, 2 parts milk). Apply the mixture to the skin for 10-20 minutes, then rinse. The skin will be less reddened.
- Sprinkle cornstarch on the rough skin and let it sit for 20 minutes, then rinse. Corn starch will help reduce redness and flattening nodules.

Method 4 of 4: Skin care regime for rough skin after shaving

This is a 3-step procedure I used to treat rough skin nodules and ingrown hairs. Products used in this phase are mentioned in the steps. I applied exactly each step, and in less than a week the nodules were gone. This result inspired me to share my experiences. Hopefully it will help those who are looking for a way to get rid of rough skin after shaving. Note: This is a re-post that I am allowed to share on wikiHow.

Open pores: This first step is perhaps the most important and is often overlooked. The pore opening will allow the special ingredients in Alpha Mane cleanser and anti-nodule cream to be effective. So how to open pores? Place a warm washcloth on the problem area, let it sit for 3-4 minutes or until it cools. Repeat this again, but this time only apply for about 1 minute.
Skin cleansing: Once the pores have opened, you can gently rub the Alpha Mane Green Tea cleanser with a circular and upward motion. Massage your skin for 1-2 minutes. Let stand for 1 minute and rinse thoroughly with warm water. Pat the wet skin with a soft cloth until dry.
Apply a cream to treat rough skin after shaving: Gently apply Alpha Mane Razor Bump cream over the rough skin. Be sure to apply the cream so that it is completely absorbed into the skin. That is done Do this in the morning (after showering) and at night before bed.
Crush a few aspirin tablets with a little water to relieve itching and swelling in the burning areas after shaving. Asprin is effective because it contains a small amount of salicylic acid. advertisement
