How to stop the suffering from ingrown hairs

Properly treating ingrown hairs after a bikini wax

There are few things more annoying than having ingrown hairs after a wax. The good news is that they're pretty easy to treat. Here's how to get rid of them so you can say goodbye to nagging ingrowns once and for all:

Stop picking at the ingrown hair

The first and most important step in treating ingrown hairs is to stop picking at them! If you're already doing this, stop now. Picking at your skin won't make these hairs go away faster, but it will make them worse. Instead, try these tips for dealing with the pain from an ingrown hair:

• Use warm compresses on the area after waxing. This will help soothe and soften the skin, bringing the entrapped hair to the surface.  
• Apply aloe vera gel (minus the alcohol), or a moisturizing oil such as jojoba, directly to your skin. If you decide to opt for another topical treatment, ensure that whatever you choose, it’s antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, hypoallergenic, non-toxic, and non-comedogenic.   
• Apply witch hazel, a natural astringent or diluted lavender, chamomile, or tea tree oil (never apply neat), to the affected area, which has antiseptic properties that may help eliminate bacteria causing infection in your follicles or pores.
