Soothing Razor Burn: 5 Home Remedies That Work
After a close shave, many men and women are left with razor burn - a red, sore rash that feels irritable and uncomfortable. This common skin issue is caused by friction from the razor blade on the skin.
Razor burn often occurs due to dry shaving, rushing through the process, using a dull razor, or shaving against the grain. Several home remedies can help alleviate the discomfort and promote healing.
Apple cider vinegar, a product Bragg is known for, can reduce itching and prevent infection or further rash development. Simply apply it to the affected area using a cotton pad. Baking soda paste also provides relief, thanks to its cooling effect on the skin. To use, mix baking soda with water to form a paste and apply it to the razor burn.
Coconut oil and aloe vera gel are also effective in soothing razor burn. A 2008 study found that coconut oil can relieve the discomfort, while aloe vera gel helps reduce itching and redness. Applying a cold compress, such as a wet towel, can further help reduce inflammation and soothe the skin.
Razor burn, though uncomfortable, is a common and treatable skin condition. Apple cider vinegar, baking soda paste, coconut oil, aloe vera gel, and cold compresses are all effective home remedies that can help manage and relieve razor burn.
