How To Stop A Shave Cut From Bleeding

1. Deodorant
Most antiperspirants contain aluminum chloride that can, in addition to shrinking sweat glands, constrict blood vessels and clot a nick.
2. Lip Balm
Smearing on a little ChapStick or Vaseline works like a seal-plus it'll keep bigger cuts from forming unsightly scabs.
3. Ice Cubes
Like swimming pools and your package, the cold shrinks blood vessels, enabling a clot to form fast.
4. Mouthwash
The alcohol in solutions like Listerine acts as an astringent, which halts blood flow by causing tissues to contract.
5. Eye Drops
Red eye relievers like Visine work similarly on cuts: they slow down bleeding by constricting blood vessels.
