What products work best on ingrown hairs for everyone out there? I exfoliate but still get them!
I used a product called Bikini Saver in Australia but now I live in London and can't find anything as good in the shops here.

According to my gynecologist and dermatologist, the only solution is not to remove the hair there at all. I have very sensitive skin in the bikini area, so I invested in a course of IPL. It was absolutely worth the money, especially given how many different kinds of razors, creams, calming lotions, etc I was trying out, looking for the road to the perfect landing strip.

No bump- it helps prevent ingrown hairs and also the bumps caused by waxing or shaving. You apply it 3-4 days prior to hair removal and after apply daily to maintain clear skin. Always do a patch test before using any product and wait 24hrs. If no redness or irrtation appears you will be fine to use it.

I would recommend tend skin they are very good!!
GAYATRIBEAUTYCLINIC
Exfoliating is very good but 'in groe hair remover' from 'skin doctors' is really good. We sell them at our salon too - the Gayatri Beauty Clinic, Leicester.
Or you can get then from chemists!

Hi, Amanda,
have you ever consider laser hair removal? it will end the problem entirely. Just make sure that you choose the clinic with the right laser machines as not all of them are effective. You are welcome to pop in for a free consultation about the ingrown hair - we are based in Central London tel 02072835800.

Definitely Tend Skin...but make sure you use it properly. Use on a cotton pad once a day, 7 days BEFORE you wax, and then twice a day 7 days AFTER you have waxed...and always remember to put body lotion ontop...most people forget that, which results in you just drying out the area, and thus making it even worse with ingrowns....or maybe think about having IPL on the area.
