Aloe Vera is good after shaving as Aloe Vera has anti inflammatory and soothing properties which means that the Aloe Vera can help to reduce redness, irritation and help heal razor burn that is caused by shaving.

The Aloe Vera also moisturizes the skin and soothes the skin after shaving.

Using ice after you shave can also help to reduce redness, inflammation and any discomfort that can occur from razor burn as well.

The cold temperature of the ice after shaving works to constrict your blood vessels and soothe your skin.

However before applying ice after shaving to your skin you should ensure that the ice is wrapped in a cloth so you avoid any direct contact to the skin from the ice.

Applying ice directly to the skin can cause frostbite.

The cold temperature from the ice also shrinks open pores temporarily and minimizes the risk of ingrown hairs.

The ice can also provide a cooling sensation and alleviate any itching or burning.

To apply the ice after shaving you apply the ice by gently pressing the ice against the shaved area for a couple of minutes.

And you can apply the ice a few times a day or more if needed.

Ice, steroid cream, tea tree oil or even aloe can help get rid of razor bumps.

Applying a cold compress to the area can bring down any swelling and soothe the skin.

If you have more stubborn razor bumps you can use a chemical exfoliant such as salicylic acid to heal and get rid of the razor bumps.
