Causes of razor bumps

It's not only women who struggle with razor bumps, but men too. While they tend to appear on women's legs or in their intimate area, men often have to deal with them on their faces. But where do these bumps come from in the first place? When using a razor, the most common cause is incorrect shaving technique. If you apply too much pressure when shaving or shave over a spot too often, it can cause skin irritation. In addition, you should avoid shaving with old, blunt blades. Always use new, sharp blades. Apart from that, ingrown hairs can also be the cause of annoying pimples. Whether you get razor bumps is also a question of skin sensitivity. If someone already has sensitive skin, they have an increased risk of developing pimples. If this is the case, an alternative shaving method could be considered to protect the skin.

How to avoid razor bumps

First of all, the right shaving technique is an important step in preventing razor bumps and skin irritations in general. With a suitable razor and sharp blades, you should shave in the direction of hair growth. It often helps to wet the skin before shaving so that the razor does not run over dry skin. However, if you repeatedly get razor bumps with a razor, it is worth considering an alternative method of hair removal. A hair removal foam or spray can also remove hair effectively like a razor, and a skin-friendly product is also gentle on the skin. Another advantage is that there is no risk of injury from hair removal foam, as there is with a conventional razor. An especially skin-friendly, vegan hair removal foam has been developed by Belle Body to offer both women and men a good alternative to razors. Especially people who have not yet found their ideal shaving method could benefit from a hair removal foam. The foam is simply sprayed in the desired amount onto the skin, where it must be left for several minutes. Afterwards, the cream can easily be wiped off – ideally with a cloth. The skin is not irritated and so razor bumps are less common.

Treatment of razor bumps

If you already have pesky skin irritations, there are several ways to get rid of them. As an initial emergency measure, you can cool the skin, which has a soothing effect. Creams with anti-inflammatory ingredients help the skin to treat the pimples. Sometimes, however, the only thing that helps is to wait it out. Taking a break from shaving can also help to let the razor bumps heal. Afterwards, other methods of hair removal can be tried out that are kind to the skin and leave it flawless and smooth. The hair removal foam from Belle Body can be tested on any area of skin before applying it to the rest of the skin. Another advantage of the foam: it is suitable for any part of the body – whether it's the face, chest, intimate area or legs, the skin-friendly foam from Belle Body is an all-rounder.

"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."

Frequently asked questions

Shaving bumps often occur due to improper shaving technique or the wrong tool. Blunt blades can cause skin injuries when using razors. In addition, excessive pressure or shaving against the direction of hair growth can lead to injuries.

A skin-friendly shaving method helps to prevent the development of shaving spots. When using a razor, it is essential to use a sharp blade. Otherwise, shaving with a soothing hair removal foam or a hair removal cream that simply dissolves the hair and is less likely to cause skin irritation is recommended.

If you experience skin irritation and redness immediately after shaving, cooling the skin can help. An anti-inflammatory cream can then be applied to soothe the skin. Taking a break from shaving until the skin has calmed down can also work wonders.
