1. Why are there pimples, itching and skin irritations after intimate shaving?

What are actually the reasons for the unpleasant side effects of hair removal in the sensitive intimate area?

Shaving burn

Intimate shaving is often caused by the procedure itself. For example, if you use blunt blades, they can damage the sensitive skin in the intimate area.
Many people simply take too little time and shave carelessly and against the direction of hair growth, which also provokes small cuts and irritated skin. The result is "razor burn" which can be quite painful and looks unattractive.

Cosmetic products

A common reason is the cosmetic products used during and after hair removal. Shaving foam or gel with alcohol, fragrances or other irritating ingredients can unnecessarily stress and dry out the delicate skin in the bikini area. Greasy ointments are also rather counterproductive, as they can promote inflammation.

Injuries lead to pustules and pimples

After skin injuries and skin irritations caused by shaving and epilation, pimples and ingrown hairs more often form a few days later.
Overall, pimples, irritation and skin irritation after hair removal in the intimate area are usually the result of a combination of inadequate technique, carelessness and unsuitable products.
To achieve a smooth bikini area, it is recommended to review and optimise your own grooming rituals.

2. Five simple rules for intimate shaving

Don't worry, there are actually ways you can avoid the unpleasant side effects of hair removal. Remember the 5 golden rules for intimate hair removal and enjoy a smooth result without itchy consequences.
Here are the 5 rules:

1. don't skimp on the shaving tool

Choosing the right shaving tools is crucial for smooth skin after intimate shaving. Invest in a high-quality razor with sharp blades that glide smoothly over the skin. Change the blades regularly to get the best results. For extra protection, use razors with integrated gel pads or razors with flexible shaving heads.

2. check their shaving technique and timing of intimate shaving.

When shaving the genital area, you need to be very sensitive:

• If necessary, shorten the pubic hair first before shaving.
• Then apply a fragrance-free shaving foam or gel and leave it on for a short time.
• To avoid ingrown hairs and irritation, it is best to shave in the direction of hair growth.
• Apply only light pressure to the razor and avoid shaving the same area more than once.

For hair removal in the intimate area, it is best to choose the afternoon or evening. In the morning, the skin is sensitive and often a little swollen, which can cause injuries from the razor.

3. cream, but do it right!

You can also go wrong when caring for your skin after shaving. Aftershaves and lotions containing perfume or alcohol are taboo.
An excellent choice are special creams for the intimate skin, such as AndreaCare Intimate Protective Care Ointment . It is free of emulsifiers, hormones and preservatives such as parabens and helps to achieve a smooth result.

4. conscientious intimate hygiene

Cleanliness and hygiene are essential, especially after hair removal, to minimise the risk of infection and irritation in the intimate area. Clean the razor thoroughly after each shave and store it dry. Be sure to wash your hands before and after shaving and cleanse the intimate area with a mild, pH-neutral wash gel.

5. Give your skin a breather

.
After shaving, it's important to let your skin breathe and avoid friction. Therefore, choose airy, loose clothing and underwear made of natural materials such as cotton. Avoid tight trousers or synthetic fabrics that can irritate the skin, and give your skin some time to recover after shaving.
Also, don't visit the sauna, swimming pool or gym immediately after hair removal. Sweat or the salt in some pools burns the skin and can irritate it.

Gentle and pleasant hair removal in the intimate area is quite possible if you use the correct tools and techniques, pay attention to hygiene and cleanliness and choose the appropriate clothing.
