Whether you prefer to wax, shave or pluck, hair removal isn’t always a smooth process. Sometimes you get some irritation and redness, and other times you wake up to an ingrown hair or two along your bikini line. While neither are comfortable, ingrown hairs can last a lot longer than the grimacing pain from your Brazilian wax and are a nuance to deal with.
This is mainly because of how they develop. An ingrown hair occurs when a strand of hair grows back into the skin instead of escaping through your pore. This can lead to inflammation, itchiness and, in worse case scenarios, a puss-filled bump on your skin’s surface. Normally, ingrown hairs occur as a result of shaving, tweezing, or waxing, but they also can form when too many dead skin cells and other impurities clog up your hair follicles.
That being said, one way to help prevent ingrown hairs is through exfoliating your skin. Not only does this help remove dead skin cells, dirt, and other gunk that could block your hair from exiting your skin, but it also allows for you to have a more seamless and close-cut shave. No matter if you’re constantly getting razor bumps or pesky ingrown hairs, here are some of the best solutions to help calm your skin and reduce irritation.
