💈 How to Prevent Razor Bumps and Irritation
✨ Keep tools clean:
Always make sure your barber or grooming tools are properly disinfected. Clippers and razors should be cleaned with 70% alcohol or Barbicide to prevent bacteria buildup.
✂️ Skip ultra-close shaves:
Leave a tiny bit of length by using a trimmer guard. This helps avoid micro-cuts that can lead to ingrown hairs or infection.
🧼 Cleanse immediately after shaving:
Wash the skin or scalp right after with a gentle antibacterial or antifungal cleanser — look for ingredients like zinc pyrithione, benzoyl peroxide, or ketoconazole.
💧 Moisturize wisely:
Choose a lightweight, non-comedogenic, fragrance-free moisturizer to soothe and calm your skin without clogging pores.
🧴 Exfoliate weekly:
Use a mild exfoliant with salicylic acid once or twice a week to help unclog pores and reduce ingrown hairs.
