White tea is a rich source of tannic acid and works really well to calm inflammations. All you need to do is press a wet tea bag to the affected area for a little while to calm razor burns.
03Tea tree oil

The natural antibacterial properties of tea tree oil inhibit bacterial growth and prevent skin infections. But tea tree oil is very strong and should never be used on its own directly onto the skin. Always dilute it with a carrier oil or some water before using it.
04Coconut oil
