How to prevent ingrown hairs …

Exfoliate Regulary : Gently exfoliating your skin helps remove dead skin cells and prevents hair from getting trapped beneath the surface. Use a gentle scrub or a washcloth a couple of times a week to keep your skin smooth.


We recommend our Lycon daily scrub followed by our ingrown x wipes or spray which help keeps the area soft and smooth.


Moisturise Daily: Keeping your skin well-hydrated can reduce the risk of ingrown hairs. Use a non-comedogenic moisturizer to maintain skin elasticity and prevent dryness that can lead to hair curling back into the skin.


We recommend Lycon body lotion which is a good follow up product to the scrub.


Consider Alternative Hair Removal Methods: If shaving frequently leads to ingrown hairs, you might try waxing, laser hair removal, or using an epilator, which can result in fewer ingrown hairs by removing hair from the root.


We offer lycon strip and hot waxing which helps to reduce ingrown hairs along with the hair will become finer and less growth.


Avoid Tight Clothing: Wearing tight clothing, especially around areas prone to ingrown hairs, can irritate the skin and cause hair to grow back into the skin. Opt for looser-fitting clothes to reduce friction and pressure.


Remember to wear loose clothing when attending your appointment to avoid tight clothes on your skin after your wax removal treatment.


Apply a Warm Compress: If you notice an ingrown hair, applying a warm, damp cloth to the area can soothe the skin and help the hair emerge more easily.


This will help lift the hair a little and providing you have sterile tweezers you may be able to lift the hair to remove.


Don't Pick at Ingrown Hairs: Picking or scratching at ingrown hairs can lead to infection or scarring. If necessary, use sterilized tweezers to gently tease the hair out if it's visible on the surface.


By incorporating these tips into your routine, you can significantly reduce the occurrence of ingrown hairs and maintain healthier, smoother skin.
