What is the reason for your Ingrown hairs?

The ingrown hair process starts

When there are too many dead skin cells covering the hair follicle and the hair cannot grow through naturally. The hair becomes ingrown as it curls over and grows back into the skin.  

Ask yourself... 

Is your skin dry within the area of ingrown hairs?

The hair is cut with a blunt tool and the skin surrounding the hair follicle can trap the hair tip and grow over the hair. This can happen in a matter of hours. Blocking the hair from growing through naturally.  

Ask yourself...                                    

Are you regularly doing the correct skin care route and using the right products? 

Are your razor blades in good condition? 

Perhaps you don't do any form of hair removal yet still get an ingrown hair. The tip of the hair can still catch on to the skin cells. This is made worse by wearing tight clothing or staying in one position for too long.

Ask yourself.....

Are you sitting or lying down with your hair pushed against the skin for a long time? 

A random rouge hair that isn't attached to the body can simply stick to the skin like a splinter and if goes undetected skin cells can grow over the hair causing this to be ingrown under the skin. 

Ask yourself....

Where could this rouge hair have come from?

To Prevent

Exfoliate/Scrub the area regularly to clear dead skin cells. Use natural ingredients to avoid chemicals been absorbed into the body. As a preventative step also you can apply a body balm or talc to act as a barrier on top of the skin to stop hairs sticking to the skin cells. This is good if you are sitting or lying down for along time.

To Clear

Remove ingrown hairs with our specially designed Ingrown Out®️ Tweezers. Avoid picking the area with fingers as this can cause the appearance to look worse and the area can become infected so you may need antibiotics. If in doubt seek medical advise.

To Heal

Have a 20 minute soak in the bath with sea salts this is a natural healer for the skin. Use a cream for sensitive skin or an antiseptic cream if the hair follicle looks raised, sore or agitated.  Apply this cream after removal of ingrown hairs or use after your hair removal.
