Redness, inflammation, itching, swelling - with a problemingrown hair on the legs, many representatives of the fair sex are not first-hand. Most often, such a nuisance is due to improper handling of epilators, waxes, razors, depilation creams, etc. Such individuals should first learn how to properly work with devices and hair removal products in order not to risk their health in the future. 
Epilation and depilation: what girls should know about
- Preparatory stage
Ten to twenty minutes before hair removal (depilation)take a warm bath, shower or make hot compresses. Remember, no matter how you fight against vegetation on your feet, you can remove hair from steamed, clean and fat-free skin much easier. In addition, in the modern world, no one abrogated the elementary rules of hygiene. In the set of some epilators there is a special nozzle for peeling. This device should be used continuously before starting the procedure. It helps to remove the keratinized particles of the epidermis, which do not allow the stem to grow normally, and lifts the hair above the surface to make it easier for you to pluck or cut off the vegetation on the body. You can achieve the same effect with a conventional scrub. The only thing, always observe the sense of proportion. Do not rub heavily on the skin, as a strong irritation will appear on the body due to mechanical stress.
- We fight vegetation with a razor
If you use to remove body hairshaving machine, then, of course, are familiar with the three basic rules. You need to stick to them constantly, even if you are lazy, you do not have time or you are limited in finances. Rule number one: cleanliness and freshness - first of all First, always use only new (still sharp) blades, not two-year ones, which you shaved in the first year of the university. With the problem of ingrown hair, most often faced by the fair sex, saving on this detail. Either they think that the razor is never dull, or the girls experience the pleasure of pulling, not cutting, but the fact remains that almost every second forgets to change the cassettes at least once a month. As for disposable razors, in this case the name speaks for itself. Therefore, you should not use two, three or even more than four times. Remember once and for all, a blunt blade greatly injures the skin. And if the winter red spots on the legs are not visible, then in the summer it is not only ugly, but also dangerous. In the heat, when the sebaceous glands of a person work in double volume, the sweat gets into the microcracks, which leads to irritation, burning and rash. Reusable razors are used until the indicator bar brightens. After each time, rinse the blades under running water (preferably very hot) so that no hairs and skin particles remain on them. Otherwise, in a moist environment, bacteria or fungus will multiply. And the next time you start depilation, through cuts and cracks all the dirt gets to you in the body. Rule two: do not use force. The movements of the razor should be smooth, light, the direction of the hair growth. The blade should barely touch the surface, otherwise you will cut off the upper layers of the epidermis. If there are scars on the legs, the rod will be difficult to grow through the coarsened skin. The third rule: take care of the legs after epilation. After you finish shaving your legs, do not forget to moisturize your skin with a special cream that contains no alcohol and other aggressive ingredients. If you do not have one, use regular children's. Please note that it is not recommended to soar the skin after the procedure. 
Growth - why is this happening?
The fact is that shaved with a razor, pulled outepilator or torn with wax hair becomes more delicate and weak, so it is much more difficult for him to grow outside. After five to six days, the rod begins to curl inward, resulting in the skin blushing, becoming inflamed, and the bulb itself is suppurating. By the way, the one who got rid of it with the help of stabbing or cutting objects, in due course can notice a small pigmented spot on this place.
Ingrown hair: fighting with a problem at home
In fact, get rid of ingrown hair is not sojust as it seems at first glance. First, the inflamed skin is especially sensitive to mechanical influences, and secondly, there is a risk of remaining with scratches, which in time can turn into scars. And, thirdly, it is unlikely that girls will be comfortable walking in the summer along the street with plasters.
