5 Essential Oils for Razor Bumps

What essential oils are best at soothing razor bumps? Here are five that we love for their moisturizing and cleansing properties. It helps that they also smell fantastic when you apply them to recently razored skin.

1. Blue Cypress
The sweet, woodsy scent of Blue Cypress essential oil is a fresh morning wake-up. The aroma blends well with other essential oil scents, making it easy to create your custom scent based on the rugged smell of Blue Cypress.

2. Blue Tansy
Native to Morocco, Blue Tansy has been used traditionally in luxurious, high-end skincare products. Blue Tansy has an intricate floral scent that will give you a whiff of exoticness. It’s also great for soothing skin from razor burns and reducing the look of blemishes.

3. Carrot Seed
Carrot Seed oil is the perfect wingman for a night out—whether you’re looking for someone new or spending time with an old flame. Make date night extra-exceptional by using Carrot Seed to make skin look healthy and glowing.

4. Cedarwood
Cedarwood carries a warm, woodsy aroma that is both subtle and sophisticated. It also helps to moisturize freshly shaved skin and provides a soothing sensation that’s precisely what you need after itchy burns.

5. Eucalyptus Blue
Eucalyptus Blue gives off a calming scent, making it a refreshing way to start your morning. When applied to the skin, it feels fresh and soothing, a sensation that will help you feel comfortable after your shave. Using Eucalyptus Blue as an aftershave is a great way to feel spa-fresh. Take note: Using this oil after a hot shower can lead to an intense tingling sensation on the skin.
