Whats the best way to get rid of ingrown hairs and the dots and pimples you get after waxing. I would love to wear a bikini in summer but can't because of my spotty looking bikini line. It sucks. Does anyone else have the same problem and what can I do to get rid of this. I would love to wear a bikini and feel sexy not shamed about my dots etc...
Ingrown hairs?
To prevent ingrown hair when waxing:
To pull out the hair cleanly without breaking it follow these recommendations: Apply a thin layer of wax in the direction of the hair growth, preferably holding the spatula or tongue depresser at a 45 degree angle as you spread the wax.
When applying the cotton strip over the wax, rub in the same direction as the hair growth leaving about 1/3 of the strip free to allow for a firm grip for a fast back pulling action.
Pull the skin taut before pulling the cotton strip away.
Pull back with a rapid movement close to the skin. Do not pull up or out, rather pull back.
One fast, smooth, pull back is much more effective than a series of light pulls which only increase the pain and leave patchy areas.
After 24-48 hours exfoliate the skin (with a Loofah sponge for example) to prevent the dead skin from accumulating in areas that can become ingrown such as the bikini line, upper thighs, underarms and calves.
Prevent ingrown hairs by not wearing tight clothing over freshly waxed areas to minimize the risk of irritation and ingrown hairs.
Ingrown hair can be unsightly, irritating, painful, and even present a danger of infection. It is wise to take the above precautions to minimize the risk.
Ingrown hairs?
the only thing i can think of is dont do it very often..
or if you shave, dont shave against the hairs. you wont get as clean of a shave, but there is a very reduced chance of those dots/pimples.
