Have you ever had a skin growth that contained hair? It simply seems so uneasy and irritating, right? It is known as an ingrown hair. The hair curls and grows there without protruding from the skin. It aggravates me a lot. Usually, it happens a few days after shaving. Thick, dead skin that restricts hair growth is one of the causes. It’s really extremely troublesome.
However, we shouldn’t worry too much. Some advice for treating ingrown hairs includes the following:
Salt and honey scrub
While having a shower, combine 12 cups of honey and 12 cups of sea salt and gently apply the mixture to the skin. It won’t hurt or twitch. Once applied, we should rinse it off with a moderate, non-irritating soap and water solution.
Scrub with avocado, almonds, and oatmeal.
This moisturizes the skin. Particularly if the skin is dry and in need of moisturizing, we should apply it. 1 mashed avocado, 1/3 cup of ground almonds, and 3/4 to 1 cup of ground oats make up the combination. On the skin, gently massage it. We may then wash it off with water.
Getting Rid of Hair Safely
This procedure could be a little uncomfortable. The tweezers must first be cleaned by immersing them in alcohol. Next, scrub the skin that has formed a ring around the ingrown hair. After removing the dead skin, we should rub the area with the hot water that is now running. The skin will get softer as a result. We are now prepared to use the tweezers to grab the hair and pull it out. Even if it hurts a little, we should immediately clean the area and apply coconut oil. It will greatly reduce the inflammation.
Moisturization
We should get some moisturizers and keep the skin moist even if it is not dry. I guess having dry skin is usually a little annoying. Additionally, moisturizing will ease some discomfort and assist in pushing out the ingrown hair. Any oil will do; coconut oil is just one fantastic option.
Aspirin and honey together
Although this combo seems strange, it works wonders for ingrown hairs. Salicylic acid, a component of aspirin, aids in hydrating the skin and promoting increased skin cell turnover. How was this combination made? Crush three aspirin tablets, then combine them with one teaspoon of honey. Apply the paste to the afflicted region, then wait 10 minutes before removing it. Rinse it with warm water.
Tea tree oil
An herbal substance called tree tea oil has antibacterial qualities. It works wonders for easing discomfort and swelling brought on by ingrown hairs. Two times each day, we should use a cotton swab to apply this oil.
Baking soda paste
With the help of a baking soda paste, we can gradually remove the ingrown hair. Simply mix some baking soda with water to create a thick paste. Apply it in a circular motion to the skin. Finally, we may apply coconut oil to hydrate the skin and soothe the irritated area after rinsing it off with a little water. It will guarantee that the pores are not clogged.
Exfoliation
Make sure to exfoliate the skin 1-2 days prior to shaving. This promotes healthy hair growth. For exfoliation, we might use soap or an exfoliating glove.
These techniques require some effort, but they will help you get rid of the irritating lumps left over from shaving. Have a healthy skin life and spread this advice to your friends.
