Ingrown hairs can be some of the most painful things in the world and they never seem to go away. Some of us have worse cases then others but here are some simple tips to help prevent and take away ingrown hairs.
1. Dont pick at them! Picking at them can cause infection or cause more to show up because you are damaging the skins wall spreading infection or creating scars.
2. Shave with the hair growth. We most commonly get ingrown hairs because when we shave we shave against the hair growth. This pulls the hair in the opposite direction and can clog the pores causing ingrown hairs. 
3. Try waxing. Yes it can hurt a bit but it can also pull the hair out deeper preventing ingrown hairs and preventing you from having to shave as often. 
4. Apply toner. Now some of us are prone to ingrown hairs no matter what we do but I found if you apply face toner to the area where you have ingrown hairs it cleans and tones the pores preventing it from getting clogged. It will take a few times to take affect but you will feel the difference and see it over time.
5. Moisturize all the time. If you apply lotion or a body butter before bed, when you wake up, or after you shower you can keep the pores clean and prevent infection.
6. Exfoliate the skin make sure once a week you are exfoliating at least once a week, this will open the pores and cleans them out allowing them to air out. Make sure you moisturize after or you could cause ingrown hairs.
7. You can also apply toner to face ingrown hairs after you shave your face, so guys this is for you too!!
