Ingrown Hairs.......

Well no one really wants to talk about them, they are aren't pretty and can also be quite painful. On some occasions they have to be lanced out by a doctor. People ask all the time, "what can I do about Ingrown hairs?"
Here are a few tips:
1. Exfoliate almost daily in the shower or bath. Use a loofah or my favorite is Dermalogica's Exfoliating Cloth. I use a liquid soap and wash/exfoliate my entire body daily.
2. If you still notice some ingown hairs, gently squeeze. Sometimes the coagulated hair will pop right out. Do not squeeze so hard that you break or damage the skin. Your Esthetician should do this for you when you visit for a wax.
3. Shaving against the hairs causes root growth confusion. In other words, DROP THE RAZOR!
4. PFB Vanish is an ingrown hair treatment. This roll on gel exfoliates and moisturizes and is specific for ingrown hairs, razor burn (who does anything that burns?) and bumps. Contact me if you wish to order a bottle, $17
5. Avoid lace underwear the day of waxing, it causes more irritations.
really tight underwear or also causes irritations.
Hope these quick and easy tips help you get your bikini area ready for Spring Break!
