Soothing Your Razor Burn

Without being at war we can spill blood in our very home. A simple chore like shaving can cause severe burns. This can be dealt with through simple and useful home remedies. It can be considered as one of the easiest ways to get hurt without another person's interference. Razor burn is usually caused due thick, coarse hair and sensitive skin.

Home Remedies

The level of discomfort can be minimized if you shave once you are through with your bath or shower. Bathing helps to soften your skin making it much easier to shave.

Use shaving cream instead of soap, as it may dry your skin very easily, making it more prone toward razor burn.

Razor burn can be treated by patting apple cider vinegar at the affected areas.

Dissolve two uncoated aspirins in a teaspoon of warm water. Mix it into a paste and rub it on your skin. Keep it for sometime and wash it later with luke warm water. You will have no burning sensation.

A home made razor burn mask can be made by using 2 strawberries and 1 tsp sour cream. Mash strawberries and mix sour cream into a fine paste. Once done with your shaving you can apply this on your face and legs. Leave it for 10 minutes and wash it later. If done even twice a week it would keep your skin fresh and free from burns.

If you prepare your skin before you shave it saves lot of time on razor burns. Firstly use hot compresses on the areas to be shaved; this will dampen the area for easier shave. Dowse a wash cloth in hot water mixed with lavender essential oil. Use this cloth on your skin and pat it several times. Before shaving apply a thin layer of moisturizing oil such as avocado or jojoba. Start shaving in the direction of the hair growth which will prevent any inflammation of the skin. This looks like a long procedure but it hardly takes any time.

This after-shave lotion once prepared can be used for more than six months. To make this soothing lotion you would need 1 tablespoon each of dried comfrey leaves and dried calendula flowers to be mixed in 1/2 cup of witch hazel extract for two weeks. Strain and mix 1/4 cup of witch hazel mixture with 1/4 cup of rose water. In this solution add 1/4 tsp vegetable glycerin, 5 drops of lavender essential oil and 5 drops of sandalwood essential oil. Store it in a cool place and shake it well before use.

What does the red dot on the back of my moto. razor mean?

Someone told me that it meant water damage & that Cingular wouldn't replace it or whatever, but I've never dropped it in the water or anything. The only problem I have is a HORRIBLE buzzing in the background during every call.

What do the colors indicate & Will this be a problem if something ever does go wrong & I have to get a new one or whatever??

Please don't answer just to say the you don't know.

Yes, this is the liquid damage indicator. When it turns red, means that the phone has been exposed to liquid, not necessarily meaning direct water contact, but it also can happen in especially humid weather. Most wireless companies will void your warranty due to this problem; however, there are also especial circumstances where your provider will make exceptions: manufacturer's problems or defects. Getting insurance for your handset is your best alternative to be able to deal with this type of situation.
