Improper shaving, dead skin in the hair follicles, use of unhygienic shaving
blades and coarse hair are the common reasons for the development of ugly hair
bumps. In an attempt to grow straight, a hair sometimes curls back into the same
hair follicle, giving rise to bumps. The areas of the face infected with hair
bumps often become itchy and red in color. You need to treat the bumps as soon
as they appear, because they tend to spread very quickly. Learn how to eliminate
hair bumps, with the tips given below.
How To Get Rid Of Hair Bumps
Shaving
Before shaving, wash the targeted area thoroughly with an anti-bacterial
cleanser. By doing this, the hair follicles will open up and all the trapped
dirt, bacteria, oil and debris will be removed. This will help you get an easy,
smooth shave, without the risk of hair bumps. At the time of shaving, do not
pull the skin and also avoid putting too much pressure on the blades. The best
bet would be to use a single-blade razor.
Eliminating Lotion
Another way to eliminate hair bumps fast is to apply a bump eliminating lotion.
The product is also available in the form of a serum. To get the best results,
apply the hair bump eliminating product on the affected area, three times a day,
for about a week. The composition of the product will help eliminate the hair
bumps quickly. However, make sure to stay away from products that contain
synthetic preservatives.
Herbal Products
The best bet to eliminate hair bumps will be to make use of herbal products that
have been especially manufactured for the purpose. Look for the hair bump
eliminating solutions that contain tea tree oil, neem and aloe vera. Make sure
that the product also contains the essential oils of the herbs, not just their
extracts.
Hygiene
Hygiene is the key to get rid of hair bumps. Make sure that you clean the
shaving kit, every time, before using it. Wash your razor and shaving brushes at
least three times a week. At the same time, do not forget to rinse the shaving
kit after every use. Store it properly, in a shaving kit bag.
Tweezers
Tweezers are yet another way of getting rid of hair bumps. With the help of
tweezers, carefully lift the ingrown end out. However, make sure you do not
pluck the hair, as this will only result in hair re-growing deeper the next
time. After plucking, use products that contain azulene, allantoin and witch
hazel as its components. This will help in lessening the redness and swelling.
Exfoliating
Another effective way to remove hair bumps would be by exfoliating the skin on a
regular basis. This would help in managing ingrown hairs. Use a face scrub that
contains glycolic and salicylic acid as its main components. With the help of a
soft-bristle face brush and liquid cleanser, remove the tips of ingrown hairs;
eliminate dead skin cells and clear follicles. |
