    I usually use Cetaphil,a dermatologist-recommended moisturizing lotion for sensitive skin, after I finish shaving. It helps prevent my skin from becoming irritated and stops razor bumps in their tracks. Hope this helps :-D

    To start off, use a thick shaving cream. Let the shaving cream sit on your skin for about two minutes before you shave to soften the hair and make it easier to shave. Wait a couple of minutes before shaving your legs if you have goosebumps. If you run your razor over goosebumps it just shaves off your skin. Make sure your razor isn't too dull because it could cut your skin more easily. After you shave, put on a good lotion. Rub it in your skin in the direction your hair grows otherwise it will get into your pores and really irritate your freshly shaved skin.

    prepare an exceptionally large moisturizing lotion throughout your razorburn each couple hours and it is going to soothe it. you additionally can attempt some neosporin with soreness reliever. That has a calming result on any sort of burns. If those dont paintings then rubbing aloe vera gel on the razorburn will help plenty too.

    I swear by diaper rash ointment--seriously! Desitin or Balmex. Apply it after shaving, and you can keep applying it everyday you have razorburn. Warning--it's greasy/sticky and white so I only use it on my bikini area--it doesn't stain panties.

    try anti-biotic oinment. After all, it's really just a cut or abrasion

    Also use a better razor (mens razors work better) and shaving gel with aloe in it.
