The best tips for shaving down there

Shaving in the intimate area is a popular choice for both men and women. Intimate shaving gives you a clean and smooth feeling, but only if you can avoid those unsightly red razor bumps. If the red bumps appear on the skin, they ruin what should have been an elegant and stylish look.

Here are some tips on how to avoid those annoying red bumps in the intimate area, so you can get the perfect intimate shave you dream of.

1. Get rid of bacteria

The very best way to avoid red razor bumps is through prevention. And the best way to prevent those annoying bumps is to attack the bacteria.

When you shave, your pores and hair follicles open up, making them susceptible to bacteria. Quite simply, it's bacteria that causes ingrown hairs and red, inflamed razor bumps.

Therefore, the key to avoiding red bumps is to use antibacterial products that effectively counteract bacteria on the skin before, during and after shaving.

At Australian Bodycare, we have put together a complete set of products that, like all our other products, contain Tea Tree Oil, which has powerful anti-bacterial properties.

The package contains Intimate Wash, Intimate Shave and Intimate Balm, so you can start effectively protecting your skin both before and after shaving, where the skin is particularly sensitive.


2. Don't shave against the hairs

When it comes to intimate shaving, many people want a close and smooth shave. That's why they shave both with the grain and against the grain. But always remember to shave WITH the direction of the hair and NEVER against the direction of the hair. If you scrape against the hairs, you'll tear the skin too much, resulting in an uneven intimate shave. Hold your skin lightly when scraping, but not so much that you pull the skin.

When shaving, it's also important to use a good product that makes shaving easier. Here you can use Intimate Shave Gel. The gel works with the blade, while also fending off bacteria so they can NOT develop into red bumps. The razor blade causes your hair follicles to open up, so it's important to protect yourself from bacteria during intimate shaving.

If you don't think the shave is close enough, rinse off the gel with water, apply a new layer and repeat the procedure.

3. Avoid tight jeans and underwear

It's also important to be gentle with your skin after intimate shaving. Here, your skin is even more sensitive than it already is in this delicate area. That's why you need to make sure you give your skin the right care. For example, use Intimate Balm from Australian Bodycare. The balm moisturises and nourishes the skin, and with Tasmanian pepper on the ingredient list of natural ingredients, you can soothe and calm irritated skin. The skin is strengthened, leaving it healthy and strong.

It's also a good idea to avoid tight trousers and underwear after your intimate shave. The skin doesn't benefit from being enclosed in tight-fitting synthetic fabrics, so the best thing you can do to maintain a good shave is to wear loose-fitting cotton underwear that allows the delicate area to breathe.


Bonus tip

Have you forgotten to protect your skin from bacterial attacks and now you're left with red razor bumps? Once the damage is done, your skin needs time to heal. That's why you shouldn't shave on top of the red bumps. If you do, the infection from the bumps will spread to your skin and you'll get even more. That's why you should wait until your skin has healed before shaving.

In the meantime, you can speed up the process by moisturising your skin with Australian Bodycare Intimate Balm from an intimate care kit, which you can use to prevent red bumps the next time you shave. The cleaner you keep your skin, the better conditions it has to heal quickly.
