Razor bumps are a common complication from shaving that can take days to weeks to go away. Here are some tips and products that can help soothe razor bumps:

Prevention:

• Use a moisturizing cream or shaving gel, and also moisturize right after you shave. Try using a moisturizer with salicylic acid or glycolic acid to gently exfoliate the skin.
• Avoid a close shave. Instead, leave the hair 0.5–3 millimeters long. Use a single-blade razor or an electric razor with a variable setting to allow for a longer cut. Shave slowly, following the direction of hair growth.
• Avoid skin care products that contain irritating ingredients, which could make inflammation worse.

Treatment:

• Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid that unclogs pores, sloughs off dead skin cells, and treats inflammation, allowing razor bumps to heal. Apply topical salicylic acid to the affected area.
• Tea tree oil has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that can help heal razor bumps. Dilute it with a carrier oil, like coconut or jojoba oil, and apply it to the affected area. Aloe vera can also reduce inflammation and soothe the skin.
• Apply a warm washcloth to the affected area to help loosen up the hair. Exfoliation also is a great way to treat and prevent razor bumps. Use alpha and beta hydroxy acids to exfoliate the skin.
• Cortisone cream can help with itchy, irritated skin. Apply a thin layer of cortisone cream to the affected area.

Products:

• Yes to Coconut Polishing Body Scrub: Exfoliating regularly can help prevent razor bumps. This scrub contains coconut oil and coconut fruit extract to hydrate and nourish the skin.
• Paulas Choice Resist Retinol Skin-Smoothing Body Lotion Treatment: This lotion contains adapalene, which is a retinoid that helps to increase cell turnover and reduce dead skin cells on the surface, a common cause of razor bumps.
• Aquaphor Healing Ointment: This ointment can help soothe irritated skin and reduce redness and irritation.
• Witch hazel: This has anti-inflammatory properties and can help soothe the skin. Apply it directly to the affected area using a cotton ball.

Its important to note that if you experience severe or persistent razor bumps, it is recommended to seek advice from a healthcare professional.
