Get Rid Razor Bumps in Bikini Area
Are you familiar with this drill? Wake up, wash your face, take a close look in the mirror to see if you really need to shave, take another, just to make sure you really have to. Then squeeze out some shaving cream and shave away. You would probably hope to see a nice, clean shaven face by the end of this, which is often a mission impossible. Most of the times, it could be because of razor bumps (you know the tiny hair that grows into your skin). They often appear red and easily blotch up a freshly shaven face. Razor bumps aren’t just subject to your face, thus can appear all over your body (hands, legs, bikini area) too. You don’t have to succumb to this any longer, not with our list of home remedies.
How to Get Rid of Razor Bumps? Natural Home Remedies
1. Oatmeal
All you have to do is mix some grounded oatmeal with equal portion of yogurt, along with a teaspoon of honey. Apply this mixture to your face and leave it on for about half an hour. Wash it off with warm water for razor bump free skin. Repeat this twice daily until results are attained.
2. Cornstarch
In the case of lack of time or sheer laziness, you could just apply the corn starch directly to the affected area, if you’re okay with cornstarch flour that is. The other more civil option would be to mix in some water with the cornstarch into a paste. Apply it for about 20 minutes or so and rinse off with warm water.
3. Aloe Vera
You don’t have to be a genius to figure this one out. In fact, you probably had this in your mind way before you bumped into our article. Simply apply some fresh aloe vera to the affected area. Not only does this help to moisturize your skin, but also aids healing process. Thanks to it’s anti-inflammatory properties, you can now bid goodbye to the burning sensation that comes with razor bumps as well.
4. Apple Cider Vinegar
If you experience puffed up inflammation alongside excessive itching caused by razor bumps, give this remedy a try. Dab some apple cider vinegar to the affected area with the help of a cotton ball. Wash off with warm water. For best results, apply thrice a day. If you have a sensitive skin, dilute the vinegar with equal parts of water first. The last thing you want is burning to top that itching off!
5. Cold Compress
Want instant relief? Nothing says it better than ice. It softens your skin and cools it down at the same time, removing the burning sensations and inflammation that come with these razor bumps. You just have to make an ice pack, you probably already know how to make it. But we’ll tell you anyway. Take some ice cubes, wrap them in a cloth or towel and voila! Ice pack ready. Place on the affected area.
6. Honey
If you’re up for some sticky madness, then give honey a try. Honey has antibacterial properties that reduces the swelling and redness caused by razor bumps. For this remedy, grab a soft brush and dip it into the honey. Apply it on the affected area. There’s a good chance that it gets very sticky, it is honey after all. If this annoys you, you may opt for the other remedies. Once you’re 20 minutes past this little exercise, wash it off with some cold water. Follow it up three times a day.
7. Yogurt
Yogurt combines all the elements we’ve been yacking about since then! It’s cold, thus helps with inflammation and itching. It’s also antibacterial, which makes it a great remedy to reduce redness as well. Mix a tablespoon of plain yogurt with one and a half teaspoon of honey. Apply this mixture on the affected area. Leave it on for around 15 minutes before washing it off with warm water. Repeat the drill for about four times a day. This remedy is also ideal for razor bumps on legs.
8. Cucumber
You might have noticed that most of the remedies we have listed by far have cooling properties. Which also means that cucumber isn’t too far behind! Its anti-inflammatory and hydrating properties make it ideal for razor bumps treatment. What’s more, it’s rich in Vitamin K and C which effectively aid the healing process. Cut a few slices of cucumber and place it over the affected area while rubbing it gently in circular motion. Do this for about 10 minutes, three times a day. Before you know it, you’ll wake up to soft, smoother skin.
9. Coconut Oil Sugar Scrub
Mix about four tablespoons of coconut oil, one tablespoon of honey and two tablespoons of brown and white sugar. Apply it over the affected area and let it stay for about ten minutes. Wash off with warm water. For smooth, silky skin with a hint of that distinct coconut smell, do not miss out on this one! It works better when you use this as scrub.
10. Olive Oil
Smoothing off those rough patches of skin is often quite a task. However, thanks to olive oil, smooth skin is now easily attainable. Mix one tablespoon of olive oil with five drops of tea tree oil in a bowl. Gently apply over the affected area with a cotton swab or ball. Let it stay for 15 minutes and rinse off with warm water. The anti-inflammatory property of olive oil helps in making the skin smooth and supple.
So that’s our take on ways you could combat razor bumps. They aren’t time consuming and neither are they expensive. If relief from these horrid razor bumps is what you’re looking for, then our list is bound to do what it says it will!
