Combating ingrown hair - to date, this issue is very relevant, he is given as much attention as, for example, the removal of unwanted hair. From my point of view, the most terrible thing is not the ingrown hair itself, but the ugly trace that remains of it. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to remove the ingrown hair very carefully.
The cause of ingrown hair is considered to be their thinning and growth at an irregular angle due to regular hair removal. Due to the fact that the hair is not in its direction, but pierces the skin in the wrong place, inflammation occurs. The main ones in combating ingrown hair are such products as scrub, calendula tincture, sponges, alcohol, balm "Ambulance" (or any other remedy that helps to heal wounds)
Stages of the procedure:
- First of all, you need to remove the oldest dead skin particles to the maximum. In order to do this, you need to use a suitable hard scrub. Accordingly, it should be thick and similar in texture to the cream or paste, since the liquid and the lungs will not bring any efficacy. Every time before the procedure, you need to steam out the skin and use a scrub, and also it is useful to use it once or twice a week.
- Secondly, in order to remove ingrown hair, you will need a thin needle and alcohol. After scrubbing, you need to dry the skin well, and after that, with special care, use a disinfected hair to disinfect the needle. Then it can already be removed simply with the help of a depilator or tweezers. The place where the ingrown hair was, should be treated with alcohol.
- The third stage is the process of epilation. Manufacturers of hair removal devices believe that this procedure is necessary to slow the growth of hairs. And cosmetologists say that after hair removal you will have to struggle even more with ingrown hair. In general, the way of shaving depends on the habit and convenience.
- After the removal of unwanted hair is complete, disinfect the skin with a solution containing alcohol. Good for use tincture of calendula. It simultaneously and disinfects and helps small wounds to heal faster, as it removes purulent and inflammatory problems on the skin. This is an inexpensive tool that will help you to fight the hair, ingrown into the skin, you can buy it at any of the pharmacies.
It is believed that it is better after removing the hair to do everything to keep the legs as long as possible dry, because in a moist environment the bacteria develop more rapidly, and this can lead to the formation of inflammations on the skin. Therefore, one or two days should be kept from washing.
Stains from ingrown hairs.
Indeed, this issue requires detailed consideration. Such spots are formed in the areas of inflammation of the hair tubule, and often the problem is aggravated by the fact that the suppuration will constantly repeat. In the end, stagnant tracks do not disappear anywhere for years, and groomed smooth legs no longer look so attractive.
To quickly get rid of traces of ingrown hair, it is necessary to accelerate regeneration on this part of the skin. For this, for example, you can use a gel with a bady.
Badyaga - a freshwater sponge, which, together with a powder of small particles, like a needle, is designed to make the desired effect. If they are contained in an ointment or gel, rubbing them into the skin can lead to redness and irritation. Due to the fact that the blood rushes more strongly, stagnant spots and sores dissolve much faster. Banyag is a very effective remedy for ingrown hairs, but with it you have to be extremely careful. Because with too frequent rubbing it can cause unpleasant sensations and dryness on the skin, which can be present for several days.
Therefore, a gel with a squirrel can be used in the intervals between hair removal. However, this procedure should not be too frequent, because the increase in blood flow leads not only to the rapid healing of spots, but also to the acceleration of hair growth.
Soothing ointment.
Since combating ingrown hair is not always easy, there is one useful tool that will help you in the fight against this problem - wound healing and soothing ointment, such as "Ambulance". A few days after epilation, it can be applied to the affected areas of the skin. Thanks to the composition, which includes vegetable oils, herbal infusions and vitamins, the agent promotes the rapid healing of wounds.
For today, pharmacies have a fairly large selection of similar drugs, but a similar remedy can be produced in the same way at home. For its basis, it is best to take sea-buckthorn, olive, grape seed oil, jojoba. To these oils liquid vitamins A (retinol acetate) and E (tocopherol acetate), essential oil, can also be added in the proportion of three to four drops per one tablespoon of the base (10 grams).
Essential oils that contribute to the rapid resolution of stagnant spots, sores and traces from ingrown hairs:

Waxing
An excellent way for those whose legs after using the epilator are prone to the appearance of ingrown hairs on them and stains from the hairs, there will be a rejection of this method and a transition to a more effective, wax epilation. It should be noted that as a result, the problem of ingrowth will decrease significantly. The longer you will do wax epilation, the less will grow the hairs. Another advantage of this method is the slowing down of the growth of hairs, they become softer and lighter. And from the shortcomings of wax epilation can be identified that it takes a long time to wait until the next procedure. Accordingly, the legs are not all the time will be smooth and silky. While enough short hairs can be simultaneously removed using a depilator. Wax epilation is recommended to do with a length of 5 millimeters, so in the summer it is quite inconvenient.
