Healthbolt Happy Living Tip: How to Stop a Shaving Nick from Bleeding

by Liberty on July 24th, 2008

It’s just like the old paper cut saying: The smaller the cut, the worse it hurts. With shaving, the smaller the nick, the worse it bleeds. Unless you gash yourself wide open with a brand new razor,then…

Anyway, it happens to all of us. We shave, we nick. But here’s a quick tip on how to stop the bleeding in a hurry:

Step 1: Use a cotton ball or swab to dab a little witch hazel onto the cut. Witch hazel is a natural astringent which tightens surrounding tissues and slows bleeding.

Step 2: Hold an ice cube or ice pack to the nick. The coolness helps to clot the blood.

See, easy right? I told you.

So this, my dear friends, has been your Healthbolt Happy Living Tip of the Day. You may now go forth and de-fuzz without worry.
