Epilator woes..ingrowing hairs

2 replies

MedusaIsHavingABadHairDay · 21/04/2013 21:07

Spring is here so last week I decided to get out the trusty torture machine. Did my legs over a few days (as new ones seem to pop up every day) and all was smooth.

Yesterday I thought I'd better do another session and discovered that lots and lots of hairs have regrown..under the skin. Really under but visible..and several mm long so not a good look! I scrubbed and mositurised before epilating so have no idea why it is so bad this time.. I've been scraping them up painfully with the end of tweezers:(

Any suggestions how to miminise this? Or should I just go back to my razor:(

Have you tried 'ingrow go' from Skin Doctors (think Boots sell it) or Tend Skin? They are both salicylic acid-based lotions which are good for preventing and releasing ingrowers. Invaluable if you get your bikini line waxed, too. Good luck.

I get this too, I use those gloves that you put on in the bath/shower to exfoliate - they seem to really help!
