"Preventing Red Bumps

As widespread a beauty problem as this can be, for women and men alike, the lack of products addressing the issue is surprising. The only non-irritating product I know of that is aimed specifically at reducing or preventing these red bumps is my Skin Relief Treatment. This product contains stabilized aspirin, which is an effective topical agent that can alleviate most forms of skin irritation. It also contains willowherb and green tea, two potent anti-irritants that further help normalize and heal skin. You can also try a home remedy of taking one or two aspirins, a quarter cup of tap or distilled water, and perhaps a touch of glycerin (which can be purchased at a drugstore; just ask your pharmacist). The drawback to creating this yourself is guessing at the proportions, but with a little experimenting you should be able to produce an interesting toner for ingrown hairs and for areas that get inflamed after shaving, including the face (for men), bikini line, legs, and underarms. You can apply your moisturizer after the aspirin solution is absorbed into the skin.

If you find the bumps do not respond well to the aspirin, try occasionally using an over-the-counter cortisone cream to reduce the redness and irritation. However, if the bumps get infected you need to disinfect them with an over-the-counter antibiotic like Neosporin, Polysporin, or Bacitracin. All three are excellent for quick relief from a small topical infection."

Answer 2

Exfolilate the day BEFORE waxing. I use sea salt mixed with my body wash. Do not scrub the area the day of your wax. Lightly splash with water if you want to clean it. After your wax, apply aloe vera gel to keep from getting it irritated. The most important step...don't let anything rub against the area. Your skin is sensitive after a wax and the slightest rubbing can iritate it and cause ingrown hairs.

Answer 3

acceptable now, you may cope with them with an antibiotic cream and go away them on my own - do not p.c..! then you've some innovations for the subsequent time to steer away from ingrowns: do not do something on your hair. Trim to a short length yet do not shave thoroughly. Get waxed/sugared as quickly as your hair is long adequate. Shave employing conditioner or unscented deodorant, and shave WITH the grain of the hair. so some distance as i understand, that is not recommended to apply chemical hair removers on your pubic hair, yet i might desire to be incorrect.
