The oil to use after shaving a private area is some Jojoba oil or clary sage oil.

Sweet almond oil and grapeseed oil or even tea tree oil can also be used on your private area and will reduce inflammation, treat ingrown hairs and help with razor burn as well.

Jojoba oil is good for reducing redness and healing razor bumps and soothing sensitive skin.

Sweet almond oil is great as a natural moisturizer and can also be applied to help inflamed skin.

And grapeseed oil contains vitamin A and E which also soothes the skin.

Baby oil can also be used as shaving cream on your skin and including your private area and you can also apply the baby oil after shaving your private area.

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.
