The 5 Steps To Clearing Up Razor Bumps

With summer quickly approaching, more people will be shedding

their winter clothes in favor of clothes that expose more skin.

What better time to start clearing up those skin problems than

now.

For black men and women, razor bumps is probably one the most

unsightly skin problems that exist. Razor bumps can be

embarrassing in a job interview by drawing attention to your skin

rather than your credentials.

Also, women who suffer from razor bumps are often embarrassed by

wearing bathing suits in public.

It is estimated that 60% of the black men in America suffer from

razor bumps. Yet, despite the prevalence of this skin condition,

it is easily treatable.

Here are five simple steps that will help clear up your razor

bumps and prepare your skin for the summer:

Step 1 - Read The Labels Of What You Are Putting On Your Skin

Most men who shave with a razor and women as well, use shaving

foams that contain some form of alcohol. Products that contain

alcohol will dry out your skin. Dry skin is the main culprit of

causing black people to get razor bumps. Consider using oil based

shaving oils or creams.

Step 2 - Wash The Area You Are Planning To Shave

Resist the urge to immediately shave your face, legs, or pubic

area without first washing the area. You never know what could be

on your skin after being at work all day or sleeping on your bed

all night. Use a gentle cleaner so as not to dry out your skin,

but rinse away any bacteria or fungus.

Step 3 - Learn How To Shave The Right Way

When using a razor, use cold water to rinse in between strokes.

Hot water will warp your blade which can bump up your skin faster

than you can say ouch! Men should shave with the grain of the

hairs and not against the grain. Since the neck hair grows in a

different direction, change direction of the strokes when you

shave your neck.

Step 4 - Skip The After Shave

If you were Bond or Magnum P.I., I would recommend using

the alcohol based after shave products. However , if your skin is

more like Denzel Washington or Sidney Poitier, you will need to

play to it’s strengths. I recommend using a daily moisturizer

that will also prevent break outs and is alcohol free.

Step 5 - Stop Plucking Out Those Ingrown Hair

Plucking out ingrown hairs will cause your skin to bruise and

look even worse. As your skin heals, the ingrown hairs will

become exposed. This will allow you to gently remove the tip that

has poked back into your skin, thus healing the razor bumps.

It will take time to heal your skin. However, if you use the

above steps you will begin to treat your skin better and with

time your skin will look great for any season!
