Ingrown hairs have you frustrated? Time to get rid of them!
Struggling with ingrown hairs? Try exfoliating! This removes dead skin cells that might be trapping your hair under your skins surface. Identify why you have your ingrown hairs...Do you have coarse or curly hair? This type of hair is more likely to curl and continue growing under the skin instead of out of the hair follicle. Are you shaving and experiencing this? If so you could be shaving in the wrong direction causing the hair to do the same and not allowing it to grow directly out of the follicle. I also recommend waxing. Over time your hair will grow much finer which can be a great help if you have coarse hair. With waxing you're removing the entire hair from it's follicle not just removing the hair from the surface making it less likely for it to grow back into the follicle. I myself have tried exfoliating before shaving and def notice a difference. If you choose to do this you may do it before shaving, but if your skin tends to be on the more sensitive side you should do it a few hours before. I've used home products in the past and they work great for me. I used extra virgin olive oil and sugar. Sugar being my exfoliator which was ok for me considering I use it on larger areas of my body that are less sensitive than my face. I wouldn't use sugar on my face. The extra virgin olive oil also has nice moisturizing properties for my skin making it feel softer when the job's done ;) If you're not for that there's always scrubs and exfoliators that stores around you sell that are great too at decent prices :) Hope this helps! ♥ best of luck!
