Shaving Irritation: How to Prevent It

By: Joseph Chanbrawati

One of the most frustrating grooming tasks for both men and women is shaving. Men who shave daily may suffer from uneasiness and scars. Same is the case with woman. They may not shave as often as men but cover a greater surface area. However, all is not lost. There are many products and techniques available in the market to prevent shaving irritation, razor burns, bumps and ingrown hairs.

Among the products for men there are special face washes, after-shave lotions and special creams that promise to prevent any shaving irritation or problem. However, you should be careful while choosing and avoid any lotions, creams, or gels that can potentially irritate your skin.

It is always best to consult your dermatologist before you choose a shaving product that will work with your skin type and prevent shaving irritation. You will need the prescription from your skin specialist to be able to buy certain products to clear up the skin. In addition, your dermatologist will help you understand your particular problem and show you some techniques that can prevent shaving irritations.

Though aftershaves are used by many men they can be quite harmful in the sense they use alcohol which dries up the skin and causes further irritation. So, you should look for aftershaves that contain natural ingredients like Aloe Vera and have a minimum alcohol content to prevent your skin from becoming dry and fragile. Also, you can go in for lotions instead of aftershaves.

Women too are no different. They also face shaving related problems. This can vary from razor burn, painful bumps to ingrown hairs depending on the woman. All these problems can be solved by the use of proper techniques and products. A specific case is razor burn. It occurs when the skin is shaved dry without using any lubricating stuff like soap, shaving cream, or shaving gel. Proper lubrication using gels or creams can save you from razor burn as well as nicks and cuts. Few women prefer soap for lubrication. However, it ends up drying your skin and may cause more irritation.

Women must think of waxing in certain areas to prevent bumps or ingrown hairs, which are frequently around the bikini area that can be both painful and embarrassing. Waxing helps to remove the entire shaft of hair from the root and prevents tiny stubble from growing underneath the top layer of skin. However, if you prefer shaving, you must use a lotion containing a slight analgesic to prevent ingrown hairs.

Laser hair removal is another option for women and men who are sick of constantly shaving and experiencing painful irritation. It zaps the hair follicle and stops any hair production. However, not everyone can afford this expensive treatment. Plus, it takes quite a few visits to the clinic for the procedure to be effective.

Finally, it’s important to stick to the method you use for preventing irritation from shaving to protect your skin and make sure your skin is healthy and properly hydrated.
