Each of us has faced a problem at least onceingrown hairs or witnessed this phenomenon. A little redness on the skin turned into big troubles and discomfort. So what is the reason for hair growing into the skin, how to deal with it and can it be avoided? Let's figure it out. Most often, ingrown hairs appear after epilation. More precisely, as a result of unskilled handling of a razor or epilator. Therefore, first of all, you need to learn how to properly remove body hair. We will teach you how to do this now.

Proper epilation: subtleties and nuances

So, you've decided to get hair removal.Don't rush to get your razor in the drawer. First of all, take a shower. Or better yet, a hot bath. Then your hair will become softer and more manageable. It's up to you to decide which method of hair removal to choose. But in both cases, the skin should be prepared and degreased. In addition, cosmetologists recommend lifting the hairs as much as possible above the surface of the body before starting the procedure. A regular scrub will help achieve this. Use an exfoliating agent every time before epilation, and ingrown hairs will not be a problem for you. Just don't rub the agent into the skin too hard, as this will cause additional irritation on the body. After you have prepared the skin, you can start epilation. Many people still remove excess hair with a regular razor. If you are one of them, we hasten to give you a couple of tips:

Use only new blades. Often it is blunt shaving machines that cause ingrown hairs. In addition, the old blade is not able to shave off all the hairs from one time, and the woman has several times to hold the machine along the same site of the body. And an additional effect on the skin can cause irritation. Therefore, it is best to use disposable machines. This is both convenient and hygienic. But if your razor is reusable, do not forget to thoroughly rinse it with hot water after each use.

During shaving, try to guide the machine by the growth of hair. If you shave the hairs against their growth, provoke skin irritation.

When removing vegetation, do not pressstrongly against blade. First, get hurt. Secondly, again, provoke a wrong hair growth. It is important to choose a golden mean, because too little pressure on the machine can reduce the effectiveness of hair removal. Simply put - after shaving on the body will remain hair, and you will have to repeat the procedure again. And this is extra time, and the risk of injuring the skin.

Ingrown hairs after epilation: how to get rid of them

Many people learn how to do hair removal correctlyonly after you have encountered the problem of ingrown hairs. But simply learning the rules is not enough. First, you need to eliminate the consequences of improper removal of excess hair. And what is even more important - do it as competently as possible. After all, we are dealing with an inflamed area of ​​​​the skin, and any rough intervention will provoke an even greater inflammatory process. Therefore, here it is worth warning all women against two common mistakes that they make in the independent fight against ingrown hairs. Firstly, refuse epilation during treatment. In pursuit of beauty, you risk damaging your skin even more. Secondly, do not listen to "well-wishers" who advise removing ingrown hairs with tweezers or (even worse) a needle. Even if all the tools (let's call them that) are alcohol-soaked and do not introduce an infection, such intervention is still unacceptable. You do not squeeze acne, do you? So why do ingrown hairs seem less serious to you? To make our request sound more convincing, let's use statistics as an example. Thousands of women seek medical help after trying to pull out hair on their own. This caused the inflammation to develop into a more serious disease and required real surgical intervention. So don't turn into home-grown Doctor Aibolit. Try to solve the problem in a less drastic way. Now that all the warnings have been given out, let's learn how to remove ingrown hairs after epilation:

Exfoliation of the skin. It will help in this all the same cosmetic scrub. Twice a day, treat the damaged area of ​​the body in order to remove the upper part of the skin and release the ingrown hair. By the way, peeling is useful to you and for the prevention. Cosmeticians are advised to use it after every hair removal to prevent hair growth.

Apply a little money to the problem siteagainst acne. It can be a cream containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. So you remove excess irritation from the skin and help the healing of the damaged area. Carry out treatment several times a day until the problem is completely eliminated.

If you see only redness of the skin, and yourselfhair has grown too deep, help him get out of the hot compress can. Wet the towel in hot water and apply to the inflamed patch. After the fabric has cooled down, repeat the procedure. And so on until you notice the hair on the surface. By the way, it happens that inflammation on the skin has nothing to do with ingrown hair. Therefore, if you apply a hot compress for a long time, but you can not see the results, then the cause of reddening lies in the other.

Cardinal. If all of the above methods do not help to get rid of ingrown hair and the inflammatory process continues, we recommend that you seek help from a doctor. Do not underestimate this seemingly insignificant problem. After a small ingrown hair can cause a strong inflammatory process.

Finally, I would like to advise all womenbe more attentive to your own health. Make sure that ingrown hairs do not appear, and if this does happen, change the method of hair removal. Temporarily switch to a regular razor or depilatory cream. Do not wear tight clothes that interfere with normal blood circulation in damaged areas. Remember that health is more important than beauty.
