Ouch! I don't know what to tell you, you've really tried everything.

The only thing I can say is make sure you aren't having allergic reactions to any of your shaving creams or lotions, as that may be the base of your problem.

Good luck!

Eat foods with omega 3(or something like that) it helps but i forgot how... and also before you shave let your pores open up with steamy water and use nut oil soap it reduces bumps and irritation.

Well your shaver could be it, try using a fresh blade often. And i know it sounds silly but Nair, has changed its formula, and I use it for my legs/underarms/bikini area. It still smells awful but it works, even on short hair. However for your face, just using a better quality razor is my only suggestion.

Good luck

well, what I would do, is shave in the shower, with any shave cream. rinse off really well, and do not put on any lotions. if you get an irritation, try putting on some calendula gel, which can be purchased at any grocery store, or health food store, and will make your skin heal. (also make sure to use a fresh razor each time, do not use more than twice or three times, this can irritate your skin too)

They do sell creams for ingrown hairs, but I don't know what the names are. You can ask any pharmacist...they'll know.

Other than that...here are some tips (I have sensitive skin too):

-Don't wait too long to shave...do it every 2-3 days. The hair growing back is what causes the bumps.

-lotion is a girls best friend.....use it frequently

-buy an expensive razor, or a guy's razor. I know...it sucks....but a SHARP razor with 3-4 razors is going to get you a lot smoother than a cheap-o one, and that will help with the bumps. I like Gillette Mach3, once I started using them, the bumps went away. Just make sure to switch it out every couple of weeks so it doesn't get dull.

-Buy shaving cream for sensitive skin. It doesn't come in pretty vanilla scents, but it helps.

-NEVER use the razors that have the soap around them. They'll only hurt you further.

-Shave carefully. Do it fairly quickly so the razor doesn't linger on a spot. I don't know why...but it seems to help.

-If your legs have bumps on them, wait to shave until they heal. Just wear pants for a week...it'll suck, but it'll help. a lot.

Hope that helps! I know how annoying the bumps can be.

You could use Electrolysis for the removal of unwanted hair. It is fast, and done professionally, it does not grow back--the hair-- for amonth or more. Good Luck!

Think you need to try exfoliation %26amp; moisturizing.

Waxing, shaving and veet may caused your skin dry %26amp; red bumps, so moisturising with a body lotion after that is vital. And try not to leave veet on your skin for too long.

As for plucking, if you are not careful it usually caused ingrowns and so you will need to use some exfoliation. Get some body scrubs from drug stores or use a body brush when shower helps.

you could try those hiar remover creams. the only thing would be to make sure your skin is not too sensitive to the cream. if you still have to shave try shaving with water that is just as hot as you can stand it in he shower. also to reduce these bumbs and ingron hairs try shaving with the grain instead of agaist the grain. you will have to shave more but it will reduce red bumps. good luck with that.

tips..

*make sure to let your hair grow out enough before shaving again (at least a few days of growth)

*exfoliate your skin before shaving (use a luffa or brush (like the kind they use on your fingers at a nail place) and scrub your legs or wherever with soap). this will help the hairs that are still under the surface pop up so you can cut them instead of them growing under the surface. it will also get rid of dead skin that can cause ingrown hairs or skin irritation.

*use a body scrub ever-so-often on the areas you shave as well. it will brighten up the skin and keep it hydrated while removing the dead and dry skin.

*use a shave gel/lotion ALWAYS (the two best ones i have found are the gillette shave gel in sensitive skin or the aveeno shave gel that prevents razor burn (it has oatmeal in it)).

*get a good razor.. my favorite is the regular venus.

*never put lotion on your legs right after you have shaved them. never! it will sting and cause red bumps and ingrown hairs to occur.

*make sure you do not have or get goosebumps while shaving.

*shave last in your shower... the heat and steam will help your legs be in a better condition for shaving. (bath is good too!)

*always make sure your legs are wet enough when shaving.. if too dry it can cause irritation and/or cuts

*do not shave the same day you go to the beach.. the salt water will sting and cause ingrown hairs.

these tips and products work! i used to have bad ingrown hairs all the time and my legs would always have irritated parts on them...

and NO aftershave cream or lotion or liquid! not for girls! that stuff burns!! it would kill your legs and other areas!
