5 ways to treat razor bumps at home
Here are 5 ways to treat razor bumps at home:
1. Aloe vera
Aloe vera is a natural remedy for razor bumps. Apply it overnight to reduce them. It’s best to use the aloe vera gel straight from the plant. To do so, cut open a leaf from the aloe vera plant and squeeze out the gel. Apply the gel directly to the razor bumps.
2. Lemon juice
Lemon juice is naturally acidic and so helps to stop bacteria from colonizing ingrown hair follicles. Apply lemon juice to razor burn to help reduce redness and prevent infection.
3. White tea
