Aftershave for Razor Burn

[Heritage Essential Oils]

Mary asked: My son gets horrible razor burn on his neck when he shaves. Any suggestions?

Jennifer wrote: Essential oils soothe razor bumps and the skin around them. They work well on both the face and the body. Some essential oils that work well are Tea Tree oil, Lavender and Chamomile oils. Tea tree oil is quite strong and should be mixed with at least one of the other oils. Mix all of the oils together for an extra smoothing treatment. Apply directly to razor bumps.

Linda's comment: You may want to dilute the essential oils you use with Aloe Vera for a nice aftershave. Jennifer mentioned some good ones. Rosemary is another one to consider.

Sabrina wrote: I used to get rashes and bumps from shaving, and my old doctor told me to always use a new razor. He said bacteria lives in the razors and they can cause trouble. The cheapest was fine. He said to shave with the way the hair was growing.
