Ingrown Hairs – Got Em? Here Are A Few Skin Care Tips That Might Help!

Ingrown hairs.  They’re never fun.  Nope.  They’re ugly and, can even be painful at times, especially when shaving.

Unfortunately, whether its your face, your legs, your bikini area or anywhere else, when you shave, ingrown hairs only get worse.  Ingrown hairs also increase as you age; yay!

So what can you do?  Here are a few tips to help your skin stay healthy and thereby reduce the frequency of ingrown hairs:

Wax Free Products
For ingrown hairs of the face, try wax-free skin care products and products that contain natural fruit acids.  These products gently exfoliate and avoid the thick pore clogging waxes that may contribute to ingrown hairs.  In addition, have smoother more refined skin.

Dry Brushing
For ingrown hairs of the legs, don’t just wash with a wash cloth, try an exfoliating brush  so you can help your body get rid of the dead skin and keep it from growing over your shaved hair follicles.

Waxing
If possible for the area, you can try waxing instead of shaving.  You can do it yourself or go see a professional but, waxing can help you get rid of the hair for longer and can help prevent ingrown hairs by getting rid of the hair from the root instead of just from the shaft.  Plus, waxing itself helps get rid of dead skin just like exfoliating so that’s another weapon against ingrowns there too!

Willowbark
Willowbark has salicylic acid in it and this special property allows this herb to assist in reducing inflammation and, it helps dissolve dead skin cells.  Look for natural skin care products, like those from Sevani Beauty, that contain willowbark in levels that are safe to use on your skin.

You don’t have to deal with the irritation and redness of ingrown hairs.  Try these solutions from The Skin Specialist and see your ingrown hairs reduced quickly!
