Razor bumps/irritation due to shaving: According to experts, underarm skin is super sensitive and requires the utmost care. To avoid razor bumps and irritation, avoid dry shaving, ensuring you use a moisturizing shaving cream. Considering underarm hair grows in different directions, shave only in the direction of hair growth, using gentle strokes with minimal pressure using a clean razor. Take the recovery process up a notch by applying antiperspirant every morning, giving your pits a chance to recuperate overnight.
