Prone to Ingrown hairs?

Q: Although I love the results of waxing, I am prone to ingrown hairs. What can I do to prevent them?

A: Ingrown hairs are an unsightly and uncomfortable result of hair removal that can be effectively minimized. Daily exfoliation is of paramount importance to allow for the removal of dead skin cells and to ensure that the new hair is able to grow in the correct direction. You should, however, avoid exfoilating on the same day that you were waxed as the skin is particularly sensitive during this time. Another way to combat ingrown hairs and razor burn/ bumps associated from shaving or waxing is to use a glycolic acid based formula such as PFB Vanish. A unique, roll-on gel, PFB Vanish gently exfoliates skin cells to "lift ingrown hairs" above the skin line reducing swelling and redness due to irritation.
