INGROWN HAIRS
The 4 Elements of the Perfect Shave ® guarantee optimal shaving results while relieving and preventing ingrown hairs, razor burn, tough beards, and sensitive skin. The Art of Shaving experts tailor The 4 Elements to address specific shaving discomforts. As you prepare, lather up, shave and moisturize, follow their detailed recommendations for the most effective prevention and relief.
Ingrown Hairs occur when hairs are either pushed back into the skin while shaving or curl back, re-entering the same follicle.
What Causes Ingrown Hairs?
- Incorrect shaving
- Curly hair
- Poor-quality shaving products and accessories
- Alcohol, menthol or benzocaine-based products
- Dirty and dull blade
- Dry skin
Relief for Ingrown Hairs
Prevention combined with effective treatment is the only way to correct ingrown hair completely. The Art of Shaving has expertly tailored The 4 Elements of the Perfect Shave® to prevent ingrown hairs and razor bumps and developed the Ingrown Hair Night Cream to treat existing ones. The Art of Shaving Pre-Shave Oil protects your skin by helping your blade glide over bumps. If you nick a bump, it can get re-infected and the infection will prolong the healing time. The Art of Shaving Shaving Cream softens your beard and protects your skin. We recommend a Badger Shaving Brush, which exfoliates the skin and lifts hairs out of pores. Shave with the direction of the hair growth for a few weeks. It is only after visible signs that ingrown hairs have disappeared that you can shave with the grain first, then re-lather and shave across or against the grain. Use The Art of Shaving After-Shave Balm (alcohol-free) to moisturize and act as an anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory after shaving. The softer and more supple your skin is, the easier it will be for the hairs to come out of their pores. To heal ingrown hairs faster, treat the affected area with Ingrown Hair Night Cream at bedtime. Continue nightly for one to four weeks, or until you see complete healing.
