Ingrown hairs occur when a hair doesn’t grow correctly out of the hair follicle but instead gets trapped under the skin. This can be caused by:
- Curly hair, where strands tend to curl back under the skin.
- Clogged pores and hair follicles, where dead skin cells block the surface.
- Very close shaving, which gives hairs a sharp edge that can more easily penetrate the skin.
To prevent this, you can:
- Exfoliate your skin regularly with a mild scrub so hairs can grow out more easily.
- Use a sharp, clean razor and shave in the direction of hair growth.
- Moisturize well after shaving to soothe and protect your skin.
By combining exfoliation with proper shaving technique and body care, you can reduce the risk of ingrown hairs and “strawberry skin.” 🍓
🧡 When trying a new product, like a new razor, we recommend not changing other parts of your routine at the same time. This way, you’ll know exactly what has affected the result. Our rule of thumb is to keep your routine unchanged for the first two weeks.
