Are you tired of ugly hair bumps?
Hair bumps are a direct result of ingrown hairs and come from several things including: improper shaving, waxing, or tweezing techniques, a dirty barber’s blade, dead skin in the hair follicles, and coarse hair that grows in a tight curl pattern. The hairs grow straight, but at the end they curl back into the same hair follicle. The area becomes ugly and often becomes red in color. Razor bumps are nothing more than an inflammatory response from your body to the infections caused by the ingrown hairs. Bumps should be treated soon, because they tend to grow fast. The more you scratch your ingrown bumps, the more abrasions you will have. This condition is known as Pseudofolliculitis barbae. Here are some tips how to eliminate hair bumps.
Exfoliating: This is one way to treat hair bumps. This will help managing ingrown hair and it would only be possible if you use a face scrub that contains glycolic and salicylic acid. The face brush and liquid cleanser removes the tip of ingrown hair, to remove dead skins cells around the area.
Eliminating Lotion: Another fast and effective way to eliminate hair bumps is a bump eliminating lotion or in the from of serum. Both could be used to apply in the effected areas three times a day, for about a week or more. But avoid the product that contains synthetic preservatives.
Shaving: Wash the targeted area thoroughly with an anti-bacterial cleanser to avoid all the trapped dirt, bacteria, oil and debris. To get an easy, smooth shave, without the risk of hair bumps, avoid pulling of hairs at the time of shaving and use a single-blade razor.
Herbal Products: You can go for herbal products that are especially manufactured for the purpose of eliminating hair bumps, such as solutions that contain tea tree oil, neem, aloe vera and essentials oils of herbs.
Hygiene: Hygiene is the key to get rid of hair bumps. You should clean the shaving kit, every time, before using it. Razors and shaving brushes should be washed at least three times a week. At the same time, rinse the shaving kit after every use. Store it properly, in a shaving kit bag.
