Reasons for razor burn

Razor burn is an unsightly skin irritation caused by regular shaving, which can appear in the form of small injuries or irritated skin. Often, ingrown hairs are the cause of razor burn. This happens when hairs are not thoroughly shaved off and continue to grow under the skin. Especially with blunt razor blades, there is a risk of damaging the skin and not achieving the desired effect of smooth skin. If you suffer from razor burn, consider changing your shaving method to help protect your skin. A close shave won't cause any damage to your skin and will leave your skin feeling soft and smooth.

The following areas are particularly prone to razor burn because the skin is very sensitive there:

  • On the face (chin and cheeks)
  • On the neck
  • On the legs
  • In the genital area

Prevention tips

There's no need for razor burn. To avoid this, the choice of shaving method used is essential. You know your skin's needs best and should pay attention to the right care during and after shaving. If you have had bad experiences with razor blades, we recommend another method. With a skin-friendly depilatory foam or spray, you are doing something good for your skin and at the same time preventing annoying razor burn. We recommend the high-quality shaving foam from Belle Body, which makes your skin glow. If you use a foam, you can do without sharp blades: you simply apply the foam to the desired skin areas, let it work and then wipe it off with a cloth – done! To make sure you can tolerate the shaving foam or spray, you can test it on a small area of skin beforehand. If your skin tolerates the product well, you can use it without hesitation. The products contain a vegan, cruelty-free formula and gentle ingredients to avoid skin irritation.

Do you already have razor burn?

If you've already got annoying redness from your last shave, it's important to give your skin a chance to recover and be cared for. Is the razor burn still quite fresh? Then it helps to cool the affected area of skin. Give your irritated skin time to calm down before you shave again. A soothing cream or wound ointment can also help to speed up the healing process.

Suitable alternatives to razor blades to prevent razor burn

There are plenty of alternatives to razors that are suitable for your skin's needs. A gentler method of shaving is to use a nourishing hair removal foam. If you want to avoid razor bumps and redness, a foam from Belle Body could be right for you. The foam is easy to spread and easy to remove again without cutting your skin. Take care of your skin with this soothing foam, which is suitable for the face, legs or intimate area.

Besides the foam, you can also use a practical hair removal spray. The spray is simply sprayed onto the skin and then allowed to work for a few minutes. Afterwards, the residue is wiped off with a cloth, just like with the hair removal cream. Silky smooth skin within minutes – and with little effort.

"For years I struggled with umpteen different hair removal methods. Mostly with no results or only short-term successes... With the Belle Body hair removal foam, I finally got super soft and long-lasting smooth skin for about 1 week, and that after just the first application."
