It’s summer time or spring break and you long to get into that hot new bikini that you just purchased from either Victoria Secret or an outdoor retailer. But there is a hindrance; unsightly razor burn. Although this concern has cerated its way to the surf lifestyle, this is still a problem for many. Despite the bountiful assortment of super trendy bikinis, just being out in the sun with a remainder of unkept hair raises a red flag for many. The quest for a sexy bikini is complete, however; it does not stop with choosing the right hairstyle.
Many women have opted out of shaving altogether, but still end up with painful razor bumps that are a constant source of embarrassment. This problem has evolved from superficial ingrown hair to full on facial soreness caused by neglect. In recent years, there have been countless advertisements telling of ” discovering” how to eliminate razor bumps once and for all. Is there any way to effectively treat this ailment?
The short answer is yes. While there is no magic potion, there are a number of advanced methods to remove ingrown hair with the hopes of avoiding outbreaks, and razor bumps. These treatments can be effective, rapidizers, that get rid of ingrown hairs for weeks. If you are suffering from this problem, it is advisable to make an appointment with a Board Certified Dermatologist to determine the proper protocol.
- Consult with a skin specialist to determine what your skin type is and develop a plan based on that.
- If you are susceptible to ingrown hairs, be sure to do the following:
Wash your face with a gentle cleanser using a soft wash cloth and be sure to wash your hair. Use a shampoo that contains polyethylene to gently remove any build-up of oil and be sure to thoroughly shampoo your entire hairline.
Wash your underarm area and apply a benzoyl peroxide rinse. Be sure to thoroughly wash your underarm area and pat dry with a towel when you are done. This step helps to eliminate bacteria and loosen pores.
Scrub your feet and change your socks often. A foot soak will allow the skin to slough off and the exposed hair follicles can then be trimmed. Be sure to take a bath with a hot Hot Water Bath to soften the fibroblasts. Be sure to thoroughly scrub your feet and pat dry with a towel to prevent further damage and possible infection.
Consider purchasing a good boots which provide a good environment for shaving and provide your feet with good moisture and comfort. When you are not using the boots, fill them with warm water and add two cups of rubbed oat crumble to the water. This will allow the steam to soften the skin and prepare them for shaving.
Shave with the grain of the hair on your face, and cautiously shave against the grain on your neck and chin. Be sure to rinse the blade after every 2 strokes to prevent the build-up of bacteria.
After shaving, gently clean the skin. Don’t scrub the skin hard with a towel because this can cause irritation, which in turn can lead to ingrown hairs. Once you’re done, apply a moisturizer for a hydrated and healthy look.
Many young women want to get a head of hair removed, but think that a bikini barber is the only person in the world with a special expertise on this topic. Hundreds of thousands of women across the world are regular barbers. This means that they know and fully understand the importance of this step and fully appreciated the benefits of a good shave.
One last thing: Try to not get a shave over the course of two weeks. This is common with facial hair because once the growth looks stops, the hair will start growing back strongSoon. My advice is to sensitize the area to each shave, giving it a close shave each time and waiting between 5 to 7 days between shaves. You can ask your barber to give you a warm moisturizer to massage in between each shave. This will allow the skin to better absorb the benefits of your shave and also wait until later in the week to grow out another hair.
