I use a coconutoil/sugar scrub before and after i shave. And i have a home oil mixture of coconutoil, lavendel & tea tree oil i apply after i shaved to help my skin with the redness and any cuts

Ice cube is an another idea to get rid of redness after shaving

Rid of redness ..

I use Jack Black's "Post Shave Cooling Gel". It's alcohol free & works wonders on redness as it's made with lavender. Yes, it is made for men, but it's strong enough for a woman. 😉

I replace my razors every other week or so.

I use L'occitaine Almond shower oil , I find it brilliant

I only shave with grapeseed oil now. It's naturally soothing to calm redness and keeps the shave close, plus it prevents rust on the razor :)
