Ingrown Hair Prevention: Tips + Products That Actually Work
Ingrown hairs are one of the most common frustrations after waxing or sugaring. They happen when hair curls back into the skin, causing bumps, irritation, or even infection. The good news? With the right care and products, they’re totally preventable. At Remedy, we recommend pairing good habits with targeted products like Fur and Bushbalm to keep your skin smooth and bump-free.
✨ Daily Habits for Ingrown Prevention
1. Exfoliate Consistently
Exfoliation removes dead skin cells that trap new hairs. Use a gentle sugar scrub, dry brush, or exfoliating glove 2–3x per week.
2. Stay Hydrated
Dry skin tightens around hair follicles, making ingrowns more likely. Drink water and moisturize daily to keep skin soft and flexible.
3. Avoid Tight Clothing Post-Service
Friction can push hairs back into the skin. Opt for breathable fabrics right after waxing or sugaring.
