Treat Aftershave Allergies on Legs - Massage your legs with vitamin E infused body lotion. The vitamin E will soothe irritation, help get rid of razor bumps and decrease redness. Make sure to rub in a circular motion all over your legs after shaving.
Use vegetable oil instead of shaving creams that contain harsh chemicals, allergens and irritants. Rub about 2 tablespoons of regular vegetable oil all over your legs, then shave as usual. The natural vegetable oil will soften skin, giving you a smooth shave.
Make your own herbal shaving balm to use before and after shaving. You will need 4 ounces aloe vera oil, 1/2 ounce jojoba oil, 15 drops German chamomile essential oil, 15 drops calendula C02 and 20 drops lavender essential oil. All of these can be purchased at organic foods stores. Place all ingredients in a glass bottle or jar, then shake to blend well. Apply a generous amount all over legs after shaving to soothe redness and irritation. You can also use this as a shaving balm instead of regular shaving creams. The natural ingredients will prevent allergies and razor bumps.
Gently exfoliate your legs before and after shaving with a natural body scrub. You will need 1 cup of brown or white sugar, 1/2 cup of olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Pour the sugar in a cup then pour the olive oil, then stir well until you have a nice, thick paste. Add the vanilla extract and stir. Use this scrub to exfoliate before you shave to remove dead skin cells that can place resistance on the razor, leading to more nicks and cuts. Also, use it after you shave to treat aftershave allergies by exfoliating to reveal healthy skin below.
Wrap a few ice cubes inside a soft wash cloth and gently press the pack over your legs after you shave. The cold will help reduce redness, ease itching and soothe irritation caused by aftershave allergies.
Sometimes shaving your legs with shaving cream that contains chemicals and preservatives can lead to allergic reactions including redness, razor bumps and irritation. Sharp razors often add to the irritation by dramatically stripping away layers of skin as well as essential body oils. You can prevent and treat these aftershave allergies by using natural herbal ingredients to create your own shaving balms. Does this Spark an idea?
