Ingrown hairs occur when a newly growing hair is unable to break through the skin’s surface and starts growing inward beneath the skin. The body recognizes this hair as a foreign object, which can lead to redness, bumps, or even inflammation. The good news is that with the right skincare routine, this issue can be significantly reduced.
Why do ingrown hairs occur?
Ingrown hairs are usually caused by everyday habits and skin condition:
- Improper shaving -shaving against the direction of hair growth or using a dull razor can encourage hairs to grow beneath the skin.
- Dead skin cells - clogged pores can block hairs from reaching the skin’s surface.
- Dry skin - dry, rough skin makes it harder for hairs to grow outward naturally.
- Tight clothing - friction and pressure can alter the direction of hair growth.
How can you prevent ingrown hairs?
Preventing ingrown hairs starts with consistent and proper skincare:
- Exfoliate regularly to remove dead skin cells and help hairs grow freely.
- Avoid shaving dry skin. Always use a clean, sharp razor and shave in the direction of hair growth.
- Moisturize after showering with nourishing body care products to keep the skin soft and healthy.
A long-term alternative
Laser hair removal may help reduce the risk of ingrown hairs over time.
ALAUSHU® IONIC COPPER BODY BRUSH
One of the most effective natural ways to help prevent ingrown hairs is dry body brushing with a copper body brush.
How to use it
We recommend using the brush in the morning before showering, or before sauna rituals for sauna enthusiasts.
Start with the palms of your hands or the soles of your feet. Use long, gentle strokes in the direction of lymphatic flow. Massage the body rhythmically using light pressure. Brush the entire body except sensitive areas such as the face, chest, and décolleté.
How often?
Use the brush no more than 2-3 times per week.
