Ingrown Hairs occur when the hairs on your face are either pushed back into the skin while shaving or curl back, re-entering the same follicle.
What Causes Ingrown Hairs?
There are several causes for ingrown hairs:
* Incorrect shaving
* Curly hair
* Poor-quality shaving products and accessories
* Alcohol, menthol or benzocaine-based products
* Dirty and dull blade
* Dry skin
Prevention combined with effective treatment is the only way to correct ingrown hair completely.
If you nick a bump, it can get re-infected and the infection will prolong the healing time. So you need to
use a good natural Shaving Cream to soften your beard and protect your skin.A Badger Shaving Brush, will exfoliate your skin and lift the hairs out of their pores.
Shave with the direction of the hair growth for a few weeks. It is only after visible signs that ingrown hairs have disappeared that you can shave with the grain first, then re-lather and shave across or against the grain.
Use an After-Shave Balm which is alcohol-free to moisturize and act as an anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory after shaving.
The softer and more supple your skin is, the easier it will be for the hairs to come out of their pores.
Use an antiseptic stick or alu natural stone on any infected area.
