To avoid ingrown hair; exfoliate regularly.

What is exfoliation?

Exfoliation is the term for removing dead skin cells. Buffing away dead skin cells reveals fresh and youthful looking skin that radiates an irresistible glow.

How to avoid ingrowns hair – the definitive mini-guide

Be aware: exfoliation is great for your skin, but in some cases you should put it off, e.g. if you are sunburned or have any open cuts or wounds.

1. Get wet: Step into the shower and wet your body from head to toe.

2. Circular rotation: buff your skin with gentle circular motions. Take special care on shins and calves, where ingrown hair are most often found.

3. Use your favorite product or scrub to exfoliate.

4. Don’t scrub too hard, if you are exfoliating a sensitive area you might want to use a gentler product or a softer brush.

5. Apply a moisturizing / hydrating lotion after getting out of the shower or bath.

6. Remember: moisturize regularly.
