❶ Ingrown Hair: How To Get Rid Of?

The problem of ingrown hairs, unfortunately, is quite common. Ingrown hairs spoil even perfectly smooth skin and cause a lot of moral and even physical discomfort to their owner. Getting rid of ingrown hairs is relatively easy, as well as avoiding their subsequent appearance. So, remember a few rules. Location: Location:

What are ingrown hairs? These are new hairs that cannot "break through" out through the skin scales, grow inside and thereby cause very unpleasant and unattractive inflammation. There is only one way to help the hairs "germinate" - by regular and thorough exfoliation, and then nourishing and moisturizing the skin. The skin must be renewed, clean and elastic - in this case, the likelihood of ingrown hairs is very small.

In most cases, ingrown hairs appear after waxing or plucking hairs with an electric epilator, when using a razor, this problem is extremely rare. But epilation with wax or an epilator is much more preferable - hair does not grow back much longer, and the skin remains perfectly smooth. How should you prepare for such procedures? The day before each epilation, you should thoroughly exfoliate the skin with a natural scrub and apply a moisturizing rich cream. Look for neutral creams with herbal extracts. Well suited for children with a string or chamomile. And just before epilation, the skin should be degreased, so just use a soft washcloth and nourishing shower gel.

To avoid inflammation, hygiene and disinfecting procedures are extremely important - therefore, after epilation, you should use wipes with antibacterial components or wipe your skin with a disinfectant lotion with natural extracts (tea tree, sage, chamomile). If you notice microdamages or scratches, treat them immediately.

What if the ingrown hair has already appeared? So, wash your skin first with a soft gel, foam, or soap. Then take a scrub and massage the area with ingrown hairs for about one minute and wipe it with an alcohol-based lotion. Also disinfect the tweezers. After exfoliation, the hair becomes visible and you can easily "extract" it. Again, treat the area with an antiseptic and apply a soft cream with natural wound-healing ingredients.
