If your skin is constantly irritated and bumpy from shaving, you might want to try these post-shave creams, toners and more.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing a dull or old razor blade can increase the likelihood of razor burn as it may pull on the hair rather than cutting it cleanly,\u201d Arora<\/a><\/span><\/strong> said, adding that improper shaving techniques like applying too much pressure, shaving against the natural growth of the hair and not using creams or gels while shaving can all make matters worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also said that aside from the discomfort, razor burn left unattended can lead to infection and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in more severe cases. Let\u2019s say even after doing everything right during the shaving process, you\u2019re still dealing with irritation. Arora<\/a><\/span><\/strong> and other experts shared the best products and ingredients to use in your care routine, whether you\u2019re shaving your bikini line, face or underarms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An alcohol-free witch hazel toner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We picked this non-drying alcohol-free witch hazel solution by Thayers because it’s been formulated to maintain skin’s moisture barrier and also contains aloe vera, an ingredient also recommended by Arora<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. It can help razor burned skin feel more calmed, smoother and more hydrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An aloe-infused hydrocortisone cream<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Arora<\/a><\/span><\/strong> suggested using a hydrocortisone cream, preferably one in a 1% concentration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream can help alleviate itching and inflammation associated with razor burn,” Arora<\/a><\/span><\/strong> said. “Use it sparingly and as directed, as prolonged use can have side effects.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We found this popular and maximum strength cream that claims to provide lasting relief from itch and irritation. It also contains aloe vera, a known soother that you’ll see highlighted multiple times on this list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 100% aloe vera gel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to Arora<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, classic aloe vera gel has anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, and just like it will calm your sunburn, it can also reduce redness and irritation from your razor burn. This particular gel is made from freshly cut aloe leaves grown organically in Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
