After shaving my legs and genital area the skin become irritant and comes up in red bumps. This causes unsmooth skin and i can shave less as it hurts. Does anyone know how I could get rid of this? natural or quite cheap would be helpful but any advice given is considered.
i know this sounds strange but it works for me instead of using shaving gel try try using conditioner make sure you have soaked in the bath for a few mins so the hair folicals (excuse spelling blame the drink!!) are open then cover in conditioner and make sure you use a new razor or blade.
i have that problem too, its ingrowing hairs as they start to grow back and irriation from the razor. I find shaving in the direction of hair growth (in pubic area in particularly) for a while until the sensitive skin becomes used to the razor, then starting to shave against the grain becomes alot easier. exfoliate your legs before you shave them, that helps prevent ingrowing hairs afterwards, always use fresh razors and i find tea tree really soothes irritation
you could use hair removal cream down there without any problems. it always feels a lot smoother for longer.if you need a hand just let me know, i am more than willing to help. tom.
Why not try waxing? Much longer results and it really doesnt hurt much. I use Nads' (no pun intended!! thats really the name of the wax!!) and its great it doesnt rip a layer of skin off like all those cheap wax strips.
I used to get nicks & soreness ANYWHERE I shaved. It did not matter which gel/shaving creme I used. I then started using INTUITION razor. No more problems at all ANYWHERE.
