Ingrown hairs HELP.

Following on from the IPL thread. I am plagued by ingrown hairs - mostly at the top of my thighs. Normally I shave my legs, but have also tried waxing and veet. I exfoliate regularly. The worst part is even after one is gone I am still left with horrible dark scars and then feel like I have to find some sort of leg cover up. I spent most of last week in the swimming pool with my children and it made me so self conscious....

Has anyone used any products for ingrown hairs that actually made a substantial difference? Maybe I am saving up for IPL !

I wouldn't worry about swimming, it was a standing joke that the person you asked couldn't read the, very badly positioned clock without their glasses or contacts.
I'm doing well if I don't walk into you Blush

True Startail. I am sure you are right. it is just ugly having these marks on my otherwise lily-white acres of thigh.

Actually thinking about it my thighs are actually so white that people were probably rendered temporarily blind anyways even if they previously had perfect vision.

Tend skin twice a day and a swipe over with a body brush every morning.

It works really well, have terrible ingrowers on bikini line. It dries them out and then can be easily popped out with the brush or tweezers for ticker ones.
