Razor burn is a minor irritation caused by shaving that can be easily treated with essential oil remedies. Essential oil remedies can be effective for both men and women, whether it's on the face or legs. Some of the best oils for healing and cooling razor burn include: lavender, spearmint, lemon, sandalwood, and tea tree.
Preventing Razor Burn through Exfoliation
Many people don't realize this, but if you exfoliating your skin helps prevent razor burn. The best way to do this is to use a facial/body scrub or loofah. We recommend our Thera-Skin Ultimate Exfoliating Scrub for the face and any of our sea salt body scrubs for the body.
Stay Sharp but Go Light
Always use sharp blades when shaving. A dull blade is one of the most common causes of razor burn. To help preserve your blades, dip your razor in alcohol after the final rinse. Rinse your blade often using cool water to remove residue.
