Stop Shaving Too Frequently\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not shaving for a period may allow razor bumps to gradually disappear. As new hairs grow after shaving, new bumps may still show up for some time, but after a few weeks, the bumps ought to go away.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Apply_Salicylic_Acid_Products\"><\/span><b>2. Apply Salicylic Acid Products<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Salicylic acid is an ingredient in many over-the-counter (OTC) skin treatments such as cleansers, toners, lotions, and peels. Applying these products may be effective as a razor bump treatment. However, it is always recommended to ask a doctor or a skin care professional regarding the usage of salicylic acid based on your skin type.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Exfoliate_the_Skin_Gently\"><\/span><b>3. Exfoliate the Skin Gently\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To help guide hair out of the pores and remove dirt and dead skin cells that block them, use a soft brush for exfoliation. Gentle exfoliation is often the answer to how to treat razor bumps.

Moisturise Well<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apply a hydrating shaving gel or cream, then wait one to two minutes before shaving. Remember, before beginning to shave, make sure the area is soft and moist; if not, apply more product generously.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using these products and alternative hair removal methods can reduce razor bumps over time.
