Razor Burn?

Everytime I shave my bikini line, I get razor burn. I don't know anything else to try- I make sure to put lotion on after shaving, I shave with the growth direction of the hair as to not irritate the skin, I even don't wear underwear to prevent chafing. Does anyone have any other suggestions to avoid razor burn?

Razor Burn?
I have the same problem, however, I recently figured out what works best for me. I use this wash that is just for "sensitive female areas" I can't remember what it's called, but it's at Wal-Mart. I put it on really thick and let it sit for a bit and then shave in the direction of the hair growth. I also think that you just have to shave down there on a regular basis to sort of...strengthen the skin...so-to-speak. Don't use cheap razors, either, for me I feel like I have to push harder and maybe that's the case with you. I hope this works, if all else fails I've heard that waxing is good for that.

Reply:make sure to soak the area for about 5 min. in warm water and wash the area. then exfoliate (there are a ton of them now) the area. use a shaving cream for sensitive skin as it will provide you with more protection. also when you shave, pull your skin taunt. then exfoliate the area again. they make aftershave now for women that work ok. there is also a product called bikini zone that is supposed to help reduce/eliminate razor burn.





if those suggests don't work, you can try waxing or plucking. it hurts but it will last much longer than shaving. your doctor might also have some prescription medications/razors that you can try to get rid of it so you may want to discuss this with him/her.
Reply:The easiest way I have ever found (and I use this on my legs as well since I have sensitive skin) is to spray it with body spray after. I noticed my husband shaves his face everyday and doesn't get razor burn, so I asked him why. He said it's because he uses aftershave, which has alcohol. Body spray also has alcohol and if you use a good kind such as Bath and Body works, it has moisturizers in it as well. I've been doing this for about three weeks, and all is good now. You can buy that Bikini zone stuff, but it has the same ingrediants. Also, you have to make sure you shave it everyday because razor burn occurs when the hair starts to grow back in, so don't let it grow back in!
Reply:There's also stuff you can buy off the internet. I forget the website, but its for skin care products. Its an oil like stuff that is for the red bumps you get from shaving your bikini line.
