Razor burn on legs shows up as red, stinging bumps after shaving. Cool the skin, stop friction, and moisturize while the barrier settles.

The fix
- rinse legs with cool water
- apply aloe gel or fragrance-free lotion
- avoid exfoliating acids until stinging stops
- wear loose fabric for the rest of the day
Prevent it next time
- Shave with fresh blades and enough slip.
- Shave with the grain first if your skin burns easily.
Notes
Why this works
The skin needs calm more than treatment right after razor burn. Keeping products bland prevents extra sting.
