\"How<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/span>How to get rid of razor bumps Fast<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

We already know that preventing razor bumps is the easiest and cheapest way to stay bumps-free. However, if you already have bumps after shaving, there are various proven techniques that can make you feel okay in a few days. Here are some methods you can try for instant relief.<\/p>\n

<\/span>1.\u00a0 Aloe vera application<\/span><\/h3>\n

For hundreds of years, aloe vera has been used for different medical issues. Besides constipation, toothache, burns treatment, and skin protection, aloe vera can be used to soothe razor bumps.<\/p>\n

This happens because it moisturizes your skin and helps in reducing inflammation and bumps. If you are already suffering from razor burns, aloe vera\u00a0is a quick fix, and in fact, it only involves application three times in a day.<\/p>\n

First, get aloe vera\u00a0gel and apply on your razor burn or bumps. Allow for some time to dry up before washing it out. If you do this for at least\u00a0three times daily for about a week duration, you will start seeing results.<\/p>\n

<\/span>2.\u00a0 Hot compress<\/span><\/h3>\n

Skin burns after shaving come with itching and pain. This can make you uncomfortable. If you feel this way after shaving, a hot compress can help heal your burns, and it works by freeing up trapped hair in your hair follicles.<\/p>\n

Caution<\/strong>: it’s important you do not hurt yourself by applying boiling water to your already inflamed skin. Get warm water, then soak a towel in it, after which you can now apply on the bumps area for at least 5 minutes<\/p>\n

<\/span>3.\u00a0 Cold compress<\/span><\/h3>\n

Just like warm compress, you can also fix razor burns and bumps with a cold compress. This is an easy way to \u00a0let up that itching and inflammation after your shave.<\/p>\n

To feel okay, apply cold compress by wrapping up ice and use in the affected area.<\/p>\n

<\/span>4.\u00a0 Use baking soda<\/span><\/h3>\n

Just like aloe vera, baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) can be used for many problems. If you worried about those inflammatory bumps, you could try baking soda.<\/p>\n

First you will need to mix baking soda (as much as a tablespoon will hold) with a glass of water; Next, gently apply to the affected burns area 3 time daily for a week.<\/p>\n

<\/span>5.\u00a0 Use Tea tree oil<\/span><\/h3>\n

Another simple method to remove razor bumps is through tea tree oil. This oil (also called Melaleuca oil<\/a>) is generally used to treat different kinds of skin problems (dandruff, acne, scabies and minor insect bites), including bacterial and fungi skin infections.<\/p>\n

To quickly fix your razor burns, get tea tree oil and mix with water. Next, apply on the affected body area for at least 10 minutes, after which, you can rinse off with warm water.<\/p>\n

<\/span>6.\u00a0 Honey use<\/span><\/h3>\n

Apart from a natural source of energy, honey, when applied to your razor bumps, can do wonders. This is possible because honey naturally fights bacteria, and if used on your bumps area will prevent infections.<\/p>\n

Use of honey for bumps is quite easy. It involves raw honey on the affected skin and allowing it to dry before washing out.<\/p>\n

<\/span>7.\u00a0 Use Apple cider vinegar<\/span><\/h3>\n

There are many uses of apple cider vinegar (see here<\/a>), and razor bumps treatment is one of them. Apple cider vinegar quickly gets you off that itching and pain associated with razor bumps<\/p>\n

To apply, get a cup and add apple cider vinegar into it; Next, get cotton and soak in the mixture. After this, apply to your skin lasting at least 5 – 10 minutes, three times every day for a week.<\/p>\n

<\/span>8.\u00a0 Apply 1% hydrocortisone cream for razor bumps<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you’ve had skin allergic reactions, psoriasis, or eczema in the past, you may have previously used hydrocortisone cream.<\/p>\n

Hydrocortisone cream is a topical steroid\u00a0that can significantly reduce the redness and itching you get from bumps. This is because of its anti-inflammatory properties.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/span>How long does razor bumps last?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Most razor bumps last about a week unless they are picked or irritated, which can last for l\u043eng\u0435r. R\u0430z\u043er bumps are \u0435\u0430\u0455\u0456l\u0443 infected b\u0435\u0441\u0430u\u0455\u0435 they \u0430r\u0435 already \u0456rr\u0456t\u0430t\u0435d, better left in peace and allow them to cure naturally. The natural healing process usually takes about a week, like pimples, bits begin to disappear on their own. Gently peeling and treating with a chemical such as salicylic acid can accelerate the process.<\/p>\n
