The Ingrown: Some quick preventative tips

Ingrowns suck and can become a chronic annoyance from the big ones to the bumps, so here are some tips to help!

1. Exfoliate! Exfoliate your skin before you shave, the dead skin cells can clog your razor and prevent a close shave, so get rid of em!

2. Exfoliate!! Ingrown hairs are caused when the hairs curl back under the skin. Avoid ingrowns by exfoliating daily and using a glycolic acid body lotion.

3. If you have chronic issues consider an over the counter lotion specifically for ingrowns such as Tend Skin or Smooze. Smooze is actually a mens product but works great.

4. Probably my favorite little trick Ive found that is fun and inventive: Take some sugar and soap, shave some soap off the bar or use soap flakes and mix with raw sugar & water into a paste “(mask consistantcy)” apply to ingrown folical with a bandage, leave on over night and take off next morn

And also dont forget that for your daily exfoliating needs you can use the lovely and delectable products found at www.thomflemingskincare.com ; )
