Ingrowns - We've all had one at some point or another!  (If you haven't, consider yourself lucky!)  An ingrown hair happens when the hair grows back into the skin. Most commonly it occurs in areas where there the hair is thick and/or curly, particularly on the bikini line.  Ingrown hairs CAN be prevented and treated easily if you suffer from them.  I highly recommend the following:

{ Exfoliate before and after } Exfoliating lightly with bath gloves(pictured left/sold @ salon) or other mild scrubs before hair removal helps remove dead skin cells allowing a better and easier wax. Gently exfoliating a day after waxing and continuing to do so {a couple times a week depending on your skin and hair type} will help keep dead skin cells out of the follicle.  Over time with waxing hair becomes thinner and sparser, thus making it harder to break through the skin's surface during regrowth.  Yet another reason that exfoliating is key!

{ Stop ingrowns before they start } Many products are created to help fight and prevent ingrown hairs.  Preventing ingrown hairs before they appear is much easier than tackling the redness and bumps later on. Tend Skin (pictured right/sold @ salon) is a big favorite and is constantly getting rave reviews.  Tend Skin is a solution for ANY cosmetic problem related to hair removal. {Irritation, Ingrowns, Razor Bumps, Redness, etc.}  It can be used on any affected area and should be applied up to twice per day.  Free samples are available at your request!
