Avoiding ingrown hairs and razor bumps!

How to avoid ingrown hairs and razor burn and still get a close shave.
Dry skin can actually be the root of the problem for both ingrown hairs and razor burn. The reason is that with dry skin, dead skin cells cover the tops of the follicle, which causes the hair to curl back down into the skin and creates an ingrown hair bump. The dry skin and bumps from ingrown hairs can cause your razor to lose contact with the skin, which causes it to skip along the skin creating razor burn.
To prevent this from happening, dampen your skin and apply a micro-dermabrasion exfoliating cleanser with polyethylene beads prior to shaving and gently massage on your skin. This will remove the dry skin for a close shave. Finding an exfoliating cleanser with polyethylene beads is important because the beads don’t have rigid edges that can irritate your skin. After you have gently massaged the exfoliating cleanser on your skin, leave it on while you shave. Yes, it will double as a shaving lotion. After shaving, simply rinse off, pat dry, and apply a soothing lotion with peptide technology. For many people, this will be just the trick they need to get a close shave that prevents ingrown hairs and razor burn.
A word of caution, as with most things this is not a solution that will work for all people. If you have extremely sensitive skin, you may want to test this on a small area of your skin first.
