Shaving without razor bumps

Razor bumps after shaving, are something most men and women have experienced or experience on daily basis.

It doesn’t have to be an issue, you can prevent razor bumps with the right products for shaving as well as for after care.

The red bumps are staphylococcus bacteria that settle in the hair follicles on the skin. Most often, razor bumps occur because the razor is not clean enough or the towel you use is dirty.

Additionally bad shaving equipment or technique can also cause razor bumps.

To avoid razor bumps, make sure you have proper shaving equipment, good hygiene, routine, and most importantly the right products that reduce irritation.

For example, our Body Wash from Australian Bodycare with Tea Tree Oil, which fights bacteria. Use this product after shaving.

Good shaving technique is also important. Shave with the direction of the hair growth, never against it. Be aware that the direction in which hair grows in the same place can vary. Good hygiene is also very important. Don't use your razor more than a few times and feel free to use alcohol to clean the blades.
