Why do red razor bumps and ingrown hairs occur?

Razor bumps are caused by bacteria on the skin that settle in the open pores after shaving. This causes skin problems such as red bumps, beard pimples, itching and redness.

Ingrown hairs occur when something blocks the hair from growing outwards. This can be dead skin cells that make it difficult for the hair to penetrate.

So it's a good idea to choose products that both remove bacteria from the skin and exfoliate dead skin cells, so you can get rid of your post-shave discomfort once and for all.

Why are shaving products with Tea Tree Oil a good idea?

Tea Tree Oil is a 100% natural product sourced directly from Australia, where the tea tree from which the oil comes grows. Tea Tree Oil keeps skin healthy and is known to fight bacteria.

Bacteria on the surface of the skin can cause red bumps after shaving, ingrown hairs and, in the worst cases, razor bumps, itching and stinging.

You should choose shaving products with Tea Tree Oil if you want to say goodbye to razor bumps and irritated skin after shaving for good.

How to ensure a clean and smooth shave without red bumps and ingrown hairs

In the body shaving category, you will find a selection of effective products for your shave. The products can be used for shaving legs, arms or anywhere else on the body and are recommended for both men and women.

Body Wash - wash for a completely clean skin

Before shaving, it is important to wash the skin completely clean. This ensures that bacteria on the skin can't wreak havoc and cause razor bumps when you start shaving.

Spread the product on wet skin, massage in thoroughly and then rinse off with warm water.

Body Scrub – remove dead skin cells and achieve a smooth shave

If you're badly affected by red bumps and ingrown hairs, exfoliating your skin before shaving can be a great idea. Use the great Body Scrub with Tea Tree Oil, which gently and effectively exfoliates the skin to remove dead skin cells and other imperfections on the skin's surface.

Apply Body Scrub to clean, wet skin and massage in using circular motions. The crushed apricot kernels exfoliate the skin's surface, leaving it smooth and ready for shaving. Rinse off excess product and scrub grains before shaving.

Shave Oil – a smooth shave free from red bumps

You should always use shaving foam, shaving gel or shaving oil when removing hair on legs, under arms or anywhere else on the body. This ensures that the razor glides over the skin more easily and prevents irritation, red bumps and ingrown hairs.

Apply Shave Oil to wet or damp skin to be shaved and leave on for a minute before using the razor. When finished, rinse off excess product and hair residue from the skin.

Aftershave Body Balm – soothes and cares for skin after shaving

It is important to take good care of your skin after shaving. Skin pores are exposed and delicate after shaving, so it's important to keep skin protected from dirt and bacteria so that red razor bumps, ingrown hairs and beard pimples don't become a problem.

Apply aftershave lotion immediately after shaving and in the days following - preferably several times a day. It soothes the skin and minimises the risk of developing red razor bumps and ingrown hairs on the body.
