WHAT ARE RAZOR BUMPS? It is estimated that 15 percent of Caucasian men and at least 80 percent of African-American and Hispanic men suffer from razor bumps, which are the red, painful bumps that may become visible after shaving. Men with darker skin tones have thicker, curlier hair and usually have a very rough time with ingrown hairs. They occur when the hair grows naturally curly into the face rather than away from the face. Your skin heals itself, trapping the hair under the skin. Once the skin has been penetrated, the body and skin will quickly react to what it considers to be a "foreign body." This reaction of inflammation is what causes the actual razor bump. When you shave, you may have to shave over these bumps, which can be very painful and cause irritation and can make the condition even worse. What are these red, painful bumps I see after I shave? They are razor bumps caused by ingrown hairs. Most hairs only penetrate your skin once...on the way out, but an ingrown hair grows towards the skin and pierces it while it continues growing. Your skin considers this an attack by a foreign body and naturally begins to heal itself, trapping the hair under its surface and creating a visible bump. Can I get rid of these bumps? The active agents in Bump Down's formula can help greatly reduce the development of razor bumps without drying your skin or creating other skin irritations. Do Barc products work for women? Yes.
