Remedies on razor burn

Razor burn is not associated with wrinkles, as they are caused by improper shaving. Skin irritation is seen to occur. It is more common in the sensitive areas, such as bikni line. Rashes are the initial symptoms, though they are removed in a few days. A warm wet cloth is placed on the face. This helps in softening the hair. Your fear of wrinkles is eliminated by avoiding razor burns. Avoidance is better than dealing with the after effect. This is possible by using a neat blade and a proper lubricant. Shave with little pressure. Avoid shaving on the opposite direction of hair growth. A dirty or infected blade causes problems. Clean the razor with alcohol, as it has a bacteriostatic action. Skin elasticity is not affected by razor type. Aloe vera gel is an effective remedy. A cream is applied topically, after half an hour of bath. This helps in closure of the pores, thereby decreasing irritation. Avoid shaving, in case of razor burns.

I have answered a similar query on remedies for razor burn along bikni line.
