ENTITY answers how to get rid of ingrown hair bumps.

Hair bumps can be one of the most embarrassing things to deal with, especially during the summer.

You are not alone in this problem, trust me. We have all been in your shoes and have dealt with these little bumps and pains and have tried just about everything.

For me, this was always a concern when I wanted to wear my favorite bathing suit. But more often than not, I couldn’t bear to wear them because it just so happened that I had ugly hair bumps from shaving. Ugh!

Before I started laser treatments to remove all of the unnecessary hair, I found some really great products that definitely made my life much easier and my bumps a lot smoother.

If you can relate to this, please consider the following remedies to help ease the irritation and embarrassment that a hair bump can leave behind. After all, feeling comfortable in your own skin is key, right?

Exfoliate, Exfoliate, Exfoliate!

Exfoliate, say what? Like many of you, I did not know what exfoliating meant or how to do it correctly until I did some research and asked a bunch of people how to properly exfoliate.

According to Livestrong, adding this to your daily shower routine is super important, especially before the hair removal process begins.

1 First wash the area with  gentle soap under warm water to expand the pores.

2 Apply a facial cleanser to your skin. Use a loofa or body scrub to ensure you get all of the dead skin in circular motion and rinse with warm water.

3 Next, you’ll want to pat dry the area and apply an over-the-counter antiseptic ointment. For a more natural remedy, you can apply tea tree oil, witch hazel or coconut oil for healthy, glowing skin.

Safety alert! You should also remember to throw away old, dull razors and use a gentle shaving cream when removing hair from your bikini line.

I’m a big fan of natural remedies and if it’s a natural, topical ointment that I can apply to my skin I would rather go down that route than put harmful chemicals onto my skin in that area.

I recently came across a new product that had all of my favorite ingredients: tee tea oil, witch hazel (great toner for your face) and vitamin E. Check it out!

Myskin

Myskin is one of my personal favorite products that really works and serves its purpose — the hair bump gods answered my prayers!

It is an organic product that has four different anti-inflammatory infusions and bacteria-fighting properties all-in-one. It’s also combined with two of my favorite everyday applications, Tea Tree Oil and Witch Hazel, which are fantastic to use on their own.

Myskin also contains black and white willow bark extract as well as Vitamin E to help drastically heal and repair both your skin and those stubborn scars. And if you didn’t already know, vitamin E is amazing for you skin!

Although, I’ve already completed laser treatment, I still use this product to ensure my skin is healthy and I’m treating stubborn scars from razor bumps.

Coconut Oil

For a long time, I was not into the hype of coconut oil, even though a friend of mine swears that coconut oil is the cure to all evil. More often than not, she’s right when it comes to coconut oil.

Not only is your skin smelling like a tropical vacation, but it is also great for your skin and yes, even those unwanted hair bumps down there.

Coconut oil is a great spot treatment for ingrown hairs and it adds the much-needed moisture between your skin and the razor. It prevents itchiness and irritation after you shave.

Best results are when applied to the area after shaving.

Once again, ladies, don’t let your razor bumps make you feel defeated when the sun’s out and your bathing suit is waiting to get worn this summer.

There are some really great remedies out there to help with these issues. You just have to find the one that your skin responds to the best.

One last thing — please don’t forget to wear SPF even in that area, especially if you are treating a scar, because the sun can irritate your skin. It can also delay the spot treatment from working.

Best of luck to you this summer!
