7 Tips to Prevent Ingrown Hair

5. Moisturize your skin regularly

You must wash your legs and arms with a good moisturizing soap before you wax. Always keep your skin moisturized. A moisturizing soap will soften your hair follicles, reducing the possibility of ingrown hair.

6. Shave your legs and arms in the right direction

Start with creating a rich lather on your legs and arms, using a depilatory cream or gel. Shave your legs and arms in the same direction in which your hair grows. You must shave downwards and not upwards. This will train your hair to grow downwards and not inwards.

7. Keep your skin warm once it is shaved

Apply a warm and wet towel to your legs and arms after removing the hair. This makes your skin soft and reduces the possibility of ingrown hair.
