    Quoting from the 1st website below:

    * Splash cold water or run an ice cube over your freshly shaven skin to close up your pores. Ice works just as well as alcohol and will not dry out your skin.

    * Apply an aloe vera or tea tree oil balm to moisturize, soothe and cool your skin.

    websites here:

    Still Quoting:

    Since razor burn usually results in scabbing and raised skin, the best way to get rid of it is to allow it to heal before shaving again. There are of course, additional steps you can take to speed up the healing process:

    Do:

    * Use a mild exfoliant that contains salicylic acid daily. This will slough off old, dead surface skin that otherwise could clog up your pores and limit oxygen to the effected areas. Do not scrub razor-burned skin. (ow!)

    * Use aloe vera or tea tree oil creams and sprays. They will speed up your recovery and soothe that raw feeling that accompanies razor burn.

    * Shave carefully until it heals, switch to a razor with a single-blade or wire guard for a while. The shave won't be close, but you won't be slicing your skin up before it can heal either. (Learn how to get rid of razor bumps)

    * If you continue shaving, combine these steps with the preventative steps in the next section.

    Do not:

    * Use any products containing alcohol - it will dry out your skin and increase irritation.

    * Scrub or scratch razor burned skin. It will increase irritation and the risk of infection.

    * Apply colognes or perfumes to razor burned skin.

    The websites also give you suggestions has to how to shave without getting razor burn in first place.

    hope it all helps

    Lotion would not reason razor burn. you at the instant are not utilising the the suitable option product or utilising it remarkable once you shave. try an aloe-based shaving lotion and use plenty. Lather it up earlier you shave. Rinse super-properly and practice a therapeutic lotion whilst your legs are nevertheless damp. Use one that has fewer or no perfumes. you have gentle epidermis and could seem in to products that are made for persons with "allergic epidermis".

    Use the best quality moisturizing lotion you can.

    For the future,

    quit using a dull blade.

    lotion may just irritate it, you may want to wash it off. then run cold water over your legs for 5 mins. it helps the redness.
