In this regard, women are beginning to get off the shelves fishnet tights and more carefully epilate skin. And that's fine, because short skirt and smooth skin feet - the shortest way to a man's heart for any pretty girl. You can not say about the ingrown hair, which now and then "please" their appearance the entire female population of the planet. And you have to worry about anything. Not only that, it looks like the problem is not the best way (inflamed skin with pustules), so also have to endure the pain. It is not surprising that from time to time, girls begin puzzled how to deal with ingrown hairs, more than the subtleties of the conquest of men's hearts.

Why there are ingrown hairs?

You can not solve a problem if you do not know the reasons for its occurrence. Ingrown hairs - is no exception. You can as much as necessary to treat your skin, but if you do not understand why your hair grow, the whole process can be considered meaningless. So what could cause such a sensitive issue?

1. Improper hair removal

   Very often women, trying to save time and money, epilation is performed independently. Someone uses a razor, some hot wax, but also those in other hair occasionally grow into the skin. And it's not that the remedy for hair removal was chosen incorrectly (although it happens). Just before removing the hair need to carefully prepare the skin to the procedure took place without consequences.

2. Lack of body care after hair removal

   You know what the problem with many marriages? Partners after the marriage no longer take care of each other, suggesting that the stamp in the passport has already proved the seriousness of intentions. As a result, relations deteriorate. The same thing happens with the skin. Once you proepilirovat feet and hold a series of complex procedures, then, as the body begins to take revenge on you. Of course, the statement is attributed to the registrar not be able to, but reward you ingrown hairs - completely. So, to keep your feet extremely pleased with smooth skin, even after hair removal to care for them - namely skrabirovat, removes dead skin and prevent ingrown hairs.

3. Exposure of the skin close linen and clothes

   Yes, you heard right. The cause of ingrown hairs can become a habit to wear synthetic underwear, tights and substandard too tight jeans. So rethink your wardrobe, or will look "is not comme il faut" at the beach.

Prevent ingrown hairs

Those lucky who managed to avoid combat ingrown hairs, we advise not to relax and learn a few rules that continue to help avoid problems.

Step one: hot shower

If epiliruete body in the home, especially take a hot bath. Water will help to steam the skin, to open the pores and prepare your hair for further disposal. You can add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to make the process more enjoyable.

Step two: peeling

Now you need to spend a full body exfoliation, removing the skin from keratinized particles. Apply steamed out body scrub, massage and rinse with a little warm water. So you not only make your skin smooth, but also raise the hairs on the surface, which will facilitate subsequent epilation.

Step Three: hair removal

Further advice will depend on which method of hair removal you choose for yourself. If it is - the usual razor, then use only the new blade. Better if it will be a one-time machine. However, modern girls do not always realize that the word "disposable" refers to a single use without any "if", "and I was here a little bit" and "yes, nothing will happen."

They often use razor for a second time, or shave a machine body that is also wrong, since, firstly, it is too much work for a machine tool, and, secondly, the density and the thickness of hair in various parts of the body are different, banal and blunt razor can in the process. Those who use a reusable tool, often advised to wash the blades and change the head. The purer and sharper than a razor, the less likely that you will spend the next week in a desperate struggle with ingrown hairs.

Changed the machine? Excellent. Now to direct shaving. To begin, select a convenient location (to bend in a pose "sic" in the tiny bathroom is not counted). Then apply a special cream on the skin for shaving. You can, of course, borrow foam from her husband, but note that the smell of men's cologne (which manufacturers add as flavoring agents) will then have to pursue at least until the end of the day. Therefore it is better to buy your own shaving gel, the more that you probably spend no small epilation in their lives.

By the way, let me draw attention to the most common mistake women during shaving. All they are trying to shave the hair against their growth, motivating his decision by saying that it is better rises hair, and skin in the end is smoother. Certainly not! Instead of perfect silky skin you risk earn a scratch on the body and a lot of ingrown hairs after epilation. It is necessary to you? We are sure that there is. So do not try to invent the wheel and shave old-fashioned way - on the growth of hair. And do not press machine greatly to the body to avoid injury.
