Usually when I get a razor burn, I put some vaseline cream on it so it doesn't irritate me so much. You can also use any other lotion that'll keep the pain away. An ingrown hair is when you shave in a certain area too often. For example, if you shave your legs more often then they should be shaved, you will get a little bump. It's a hair inside of your leg. But it cannot grow out due to the swelling of your skin. It'll look like a pimple on your skin kind of. I've gotten those before. All you do is just leave them. Don't try to burst it or whatever. Because that will make it worse. It'll only swell more. It's only temporary. If it ends up itching, but some gold bond cream or powder on it and try not to scratch. Good luck..

Make sure the razor is new and you are frequently changing blades. Use a rich body wash or shaving cream. I like to use hydrocortizone cream or acne cream, since ingrown hairs are really pimples with hairs inside. They are caused by the hair curling under the skin instead of growing out.

How do you get rid of razor burn? What are ingrown hairs?

Ingrown hair is the result of hair getting cut or broken below skin level and then growing into the side of the hair follicle instead of out. This results in painful red bumps that usually turn into pustules. The curlier the hair, the higher the risk.

Razorburn (aka razor bumps) is the result of shaving off puckered hair follicles and irregular skin. It is often accompanied by ingrown hairs and is caused by inadequate shaving preparation and poor technique.

Do:

Use a mild exfoliant that contains salicylic acid daily. This will slough off old, dead surface skin that otherwise could clog up your pores and limit oxygen to the effected areas. Do not scrub razor-burned skin. (ow!)

Use aloe vera or tea tree oil creams and sprays. They will speed up your recovery and soothe that raw feeling that accompanies razor burn.

Shave carefully until it heals, switch to a razor with a single-blade or wire guard for a while. The shave won閳ユ獩 be close, but you won閳ユ獩 be slicing your skin up before it can heal either.

Do not:

Use any products containing alcohol - it will dry out your skin and increase irritation.

Scrub or scratch razor burned skin. It will increase irritation and the risk of infection.

Apply colognes or perfumes to razor burned skin.

Bathe and exfoliate first. You can use a loofah, shower puff, or a chemical exfoliant that contains salicylic acid to remove dirt, oil and dead skin so the razor will glide smoothly and evenly.

Cover the area to be shaved with conditioner or skin lotion and let it sit for a few minutes prior to shaving - don閳ユ獩 rub it into the skin. This will soften the hair and make the shave much easier. Don閳ユ獩 let it sit longer than five minutes either as your skin will start to absorb the moisture and puff up, keeping you from getting a close shave. Alternatively, you can soak some wash cloths with the hot, steamy water and apply them to your skin for a few minutes.

Make sure your blade is clean and sharp.

Shave in slow, small strokes tapping the razor under hot water to clean it between each stroke. A blade full of hair won閳ユ獩 sit evenly against the skin.

Loose skin should be held taut - but not stretched.

Apply only as much pressure as is needed.

Shave with the grain as much as is possible to achieve the closeness you desire.

If you must double back over an area, apply more lubricant (soap or cream) first.

Splash cold water or run an ice cube over your freshly shaven skin to close up your pores. Ice works just as well as alcohol and will not dry out your skin.

Apply an aloe vera or tea tree oil balm to moisturize, soothe and cool your skin.

hope this helped =)
