Ingrown hairs on my legs ... help!

TheAverageHousewife · 02/04/2018 10:22

I've never had ingrown hairs before but since a full body treatment whilst on holiday a year ago (where the beautician "exfoliated " my legs aka she ripped them to shreds with what felt like sandpaper) I've had loads of ingrown hairs on my legs Sad
(It may be a coincidence but before that treatment I didn't have any).

I've bought some Skin Doctors treatment which seems to help a bit but doesn't seem to solve the problem - it seems that if I don't keep applying it regularly the hairs keep ingrowing ...

Does anyone have any recommendations of how to get rid of ingrown hairs for once and all please?!

Laser. OK, possibly an industrial solution but it does work!

Try tend skin, you can order it on Amazon and it really does work.

Anything with glycolic in it will help. I didn't find the salicylic products (eg Tend Skin) did much for me. I read somewhere that glycolic does something to the hair so it grows straighter rather than curling under the skin. Skin Doctors has both so should help.

Thank you all very much for posting! I'll try using Skin Doctors regularly and look into Tend Skin. Sadly I can't afford laser!
