super sensitive skin
hi so i am having problems when i shave my legs. Whenever i shave i bleed every time. my skin is so sensitive, even when i use shaving cream or soap. I have a spa breeze razor and i was disappointed when i bought it because basically has small soap bars on the top and bottom of the razor blade so you don't need shaving c ream, but while i shaved my armpits it started bleeding. And even when i do use shaving cre am on my armpits or legs it'll bleed or sting almost every time. What should i do? please help

There are several ways of decreasing the discomfort associated with sensitive skin and shaving. Moisturizing is very important for the health of your skin. You should purchase and use lotion with aloe, or one that has been concocted for sensitive skin and apply it regularly. Application after showers and baths is an extremely important habit to get into, as skin tends to dry out after being exposed to water
. It is a good idea to apply a heavy layer of cream or lotion before you go to sleep so that your skin has plenty of time to absorb the lotion. If your skin is extremely sensitive and you are experiencing uncomfortable itching, you may try applying a thin layer of Vaseline onto trouble spots.
Use a new razor after two or three shaves. Buying a razor specially designed for sensitive skin may be another good option.
Regardless of where you are shaving—your legs, bikini area, face, underarms—remember to lather. Mild soap lather or a shaving cream with non-allergens will do the trick. Shaving slowly and making sure you do not go over areas you have shaven already is important for decreasing tension on the skin.
After your shower or bath you should apply baby oil or a good moisturizer to your entire body, particularly the places you shaved. Make sure these areas are fully dry before you moisturizer. Remember not to use products that have potential allergens.
I hope this helps. Sorry its so long
