Reduce ingrown hairs.

Let’s be honest—ingrown hairs are the worst! They’re annoying, uncomfortable, and just plain frustrating. But don’t worry, the first step to kicking them to the curb is understanding what’s causing them. Here are five common reasons you might be battling pesky ingrowns!

Hormones: Oh, those wild hormones! When they fluctuate, they can ramp up hair growth like nobody's business. Sometimes, you’ll even get two hairs growing from one follicle—talk about a hair double feature! These can be tricky to manage as they struggle to break through the skin.

Exfoliation: Your skin needs a little TLC! If you skip exfoliation, dead skin cells can build up, blocking those hair follicles. The result? Annoying ingrown hairs that didn’t get the memo to sprout up properly.

Shaving: Unlike waxing, shaving only scratches the surface—it doesn’t get to the root of the problem. Sometimes, shaved hairs curl back into the skin, creating ingrown hair dramas we all want to avoid.

Harsh Products: Using heavy, pore-clogging products? Your skin isn’t happy! These products act like a barricade, trapping hairs beneath and preventing them from breaking free.

Dryness: Dry skin and waxing do not get along. When your skin is too dry, it sucks out the moisture from the wax, making it brittle and causing hair breakage. And you know what that means… hello, ingrown hairs!
