What are razor bumps?

Razor bumps are essentially an ingrown hair caused when a hair is trapped beneath the skin’s surface and begins to turn in on itself. Various hair removal methods can exacerbate these but exfoliation can help.

Exfoliation

Exfoliation removes layers of dead skin, this helps to reduce the likeliness that hairs will get trapped and cause razor bumps because the skin will have fewer excess layers. It’s important to start exfoliating before you shave, and then do it regularly between shaves too, but try not to do them on the same day. Alternatively, a monthly Microdermabrasion treatment is the perfect way to eliminate dead skin build up and prevent the bumps from forming. The added benefit of Microdermabrasion is that it will smooth and rejuvenate your skin as well as reduce scarring, which is perfect if you regularly suffer from razor bumps as they can scar the skin over time.

Get a smooth, clean shave

You’d never choose to shave with a blunt razor but did you know that shaving dry and dull skin is also a big beauty mistake! Always exfoliate your skin prior to shaving if you want to get the closest shave possible, and your skin to appear more radiant and smooth. This way, you will get rid of any dead skin cells that can potentially clog up your razor blades and as a result, you will get a smooth, clean shave!

What are the benefits of regular exfoliation with MD?

  • Enhance absorption of skincare products. This is especially true after a more intense exfoliation like Microdermabrasion. Clean, clear pores will soak up product making sure you get better value out of your expensive lotions and potions.
  • Great pre-tan prep. Tan clings to dry patches making it look patchy. Regular exfoliation will prevent this from happening.
  • Makeup will look more even for the same reasons as above. Exfoliating will ensure the skin surface is clean, clear, and smooth for a flawless finish.
  • Minimises pores. Exfoliation will help pores appear smaller. Dirt and grime clogging pores is part of what makes them look more pronounced.

Rebecca Willshee Nail and Beauty Specialist

Testimonial: “JC was so low, suicidal at points. Sore, red, angry, his skin was awful, we had tried everything and doctors you name it. We reached out to Becky, who was wonderful. My son was quiet and withdrawn, lacked confidence and self esteem, and locked himself away from the world. Becky booked us in for a consultation to discuss different options of treatments and we decided the new hydro treatment would be the best option. We started the course and JC was nervous but Becky was great with him talking him through everything, step by step! As we went each time JC’s skin got better and better, but also the difference in him was huge, he was gaining confidence, shoulders back, head held high. We have watched his skin change from this red, aggressive, angry skin that was sore, acne was debilitating to him but now he is confident, holds his head up high and has even got his first job! We are so proud. When we met Becky I felt confident she would help us get his skin better and back on track but what has actually happened is skin looks amazing but to see our son gain confidence has been the biggest win! Teens often get pushed aside, put on string meds and told “it’s just your age” but this isn’t what they want to hear, but The SkinBase treatments Becky has done has changed his life! We cannot thank you enough Becky! JC is continuing with the treatments as it still gets the odd breakouts but the scarring is still improving week in week out. The hydro Facial is just amazing and we cannot recommend it enough and of course Becky and her passion for skin and helping people is wonderful!”
