Do you want to avoid red shaving spots and beard rash on your face?
Red shaving spots and beard rash on the face are never nice. The annoying little shaving spots can also occur elsewhere on the body where you shave – on legs, intimate area or under the arms.
Shaving spots occur due to an inflammation of the skin. Bacteria on the skin settles in pores that are open after shaving, and this can lead to red shaving spots and beard rash.
Do you have problems with ingrown hairs after shaving?
Ingrown hairs can occur anywhere on your body where you shave. Whether the ingrown hair is on the face, legs, intimate area or under the arms, it can hurt a lot.
Hairs usually grow out of the skin, but an ingrown hair grows inward. The problem often occurs due to lack of cleansing and care of the skin before and after shaving.
3 products for facial shaving
1) Face Wash – effectively cleanses the skin of bacteria
It is important to ensure that your skin is clean and completely free of bacteria before picking up the razor. If there are bacteria on your skin when you shave, there is a risk that they will get into the pores of the skin and develop into beard rash and spots.
Using Face Wash from Australian Bodycare, ensures your skin is completely cleansed of bacteria. The active ingredient Tea Tree Oil counteracts bacteria and leaves the skin ready for the razor.
2) Shave Gel – protects the skin during shaving
When shaving, always use a shaving gel. Shaving gel allows the blade to move more easily by reducing friction and so minimises skin irritation.
Shave Gel from Australian Bodycare is a transparent shaving gel for the face. The active ingredient Tea Tree Oil ensures that the skin is kept free of bacteria during shaving, minimising beard rash, red spots and ingrown hairs.
3) After Shave – soothes and calms the skin after shaving
When you have finished shaving, it is important to care for your skin. Shaving is hard on the skin, but by using a soothing After Shave, you calm the skin preventing ingrown hairs and red shaving spots. After Shave contains, among other things, Tasmanian Pepper, which cools and calms the skin reducing irritation and redness.
Looking for products for leg shaving?
When shaving your legs, arms or anywhere else on your body, you should follow the same routine as when shaving your face.
Wash the skin thoroughly, for example, with a good Tea Tree Oil Body Wash, so that bacteria are effectively washed away. If you suffer a lot with ingrown hairs and red shaving spots, it may be a good idea to exfoliate the skin before shaving with Body Scrub. Exfoliation ensures that the skin is deep cleansed and dead skin cells are removed allowing the razor to slide more easily and avoid causing unnecessary irritation.
When you shave your legs, under your arms or anywhere else on your body, you can use Shave Gel to give a gentler and closer shave. Shave Gel allows razor blade slide more easily, minimising the risk of beard rash, red shaving spots and ingrown hairs.
For the care of the skin after shaving we recommend Body Balm for use on the body. Body Balm contains Tea Tree Oil, which prevents bacteria from getting into the newly shaved hair follicles, while the active ingredient Tasmanian Pepper soothes and cools the skin and stops irritation.
Looking for products for intimate shaving? Then we recommend the complete pack of 3 products for the perfect intimate shave.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is razor burn and why does it happen after shaving?
Razor burn or razor bumps appear as red, irritated spots or inflamed hair follicles after shaving. It’s usually caused by friction, bacteria, or ingrown hairs—especially on the neck, cheeks, or jawline.
How do you avoid red bumps after facial shaving?
Use a transparent, mild shaving gel to protect your skin and provide glide. Always shave in the direction of hair growth and use a clean, sharp blade. Follow up with a soothing, alcohol-free aftershave to calm irritation.
What helps with ingrown hairs on the face?
Ingrown hairs occur when hair grows back into the skin. To prevent them, exfoliate regularly and use a shaving gel that softens the hairs. A soothing aftershave helps calm the skin and reduce the risk of hairs growing inward.
How should you care for your skin after shaving to avoid irritation?
Cleanse your skin gently after shaving and apply a moisturizing, alcohol-free aftershave. Avoid touching the skin too much and keep the area clean to minimize bacteria and inflammation.
Which products are best for red bumps after shaving?
This collection includes shaving gel and aftershave lotion specifically formulated for the face. They help reduce irritation, soothe the skin, and prevent razor bumps and ingrown hairs.
Is it better to shave with or against the direction of hair growth?
Shaving with the grain is gentler on the skin and reduces the risk of ingrown hairs. For a closer shave, you can carefully go across the grain—but avoid shaving directly against the grain in sensitive areas.
How often should you shave if you’re prone to razor bumps?
If you frequently get red bumps or razor burn, try shaving less often to allow your skin to recover. Always use a sharp, clean blade and soothing post-shave care.
How do you prepare your skin before shaving?
Wash your face with warm water to soften the hair and open the pores. Then apply a shaving gel to reduce friction and protect the skin. Proper prep helps minimize irritation and razor bumps.
