Ingrowns suck and can become a chronic annoyance from the big ones to the bumps, so here are some tips to help!
1. Exfoliate! Exfoliate your skin before you shave, the dead skin cells can clog your razor and prevent a close shave, so get rid of em!
2. Exfoliate!! Ingrown hairs are caused when the hairs curl back under the skin. Avoid ingrowns by exfoliating daily and using a glycolic acid body lotion.
3. If you have chronic issues consider an over the counter lotion specifically for ingrowns such as Tend Skin or Smooze. Smooze is actually a mens product but works great.
4. Probably my favorite little trick Ive found that is fun and inventive: Take some sugar and soap, shave some soap off the bar or use soap flakes and mix with raw sugar & water into a paste "(mask consistantcy)" apply to ingrown folical with a bandage, leave on over night and take off next morn :D
And also dont forget that for your daily exfoliating needs you can use the lovely and delectable products found at www.thomflemingskincare.com ; )

Hi, Wendy here from Gwendolyn's Gate. Thank You ever so kindly for posting a comment on my blog. Would you like to win the Foot Scrub? It is wonderful - the aroma of peppermint and the exfoliation of sea salt and pumice - yummy. The scrub looks good enough to eat - but don't you will burp bubbles!
I think it is wonderful that you have carried on Thom's passion for the love of the sea (salt). I wish you all the success.
My brother, Chuck, also loves my product and is trying to get Chrysalis into Savannah, GA. I hope to make a trip there this fall to help him in his pursuit.
Love your blog!
