Scrub for ingrown hairs
To better remove follicles, you should treat your body with a fine-grained scrub before going to a cosmetologist. This will help combat the negative consequences of hair removal. The scrubs are simple and easy to use, after which you simply remove the crooked hairs.
Before peeling, steam the skin for 10 minutes by taking a hot bath or applying a damp hot cloth to the removal area. The water can be simply clean, or you can take herbal decoctions.
If there are purulent areas, the scrub cannot be used! You also cannot remove or squeeze out the pus yourself. This will only spread the pathological process over a larger area. This problem should be treated by a dermatologist.
Use pure medicinal herbs or mixtures thereof. Chamomile, celandine, sage, calendula 1 tbsp each. for 0.5 liters of boiling water. Simmer the mixture over medium heat for a quarter of an hour. Leave to cool to 60°C, remove the sediment and wet the fabric for a steaming compress for the bikini area. The heat prevents further damage to the delicate bikini area.
Apply the abrasive mixture to the prepared area and rub the skin with gentle finger movements. Scrub particles remove the microscopic layer of cells, making it softer and thinner; even weakened hairs will be able to break through the treated epidermis. All you have to do is remove the ingrown hair in the bikini area with tweezers. After scrubbing, the body needs to be moisturized by applying cream or cream.

After treating the skin with abrasives, ingrown rods will become visible. As long as the surface is steamed and cleaned, removing ingrown hair in the bikini area with tweezers is easy and painless. The damaged bulb will continue to grow a deformed hair for several months, which is pulled out with a needle.
All instruments that come into contact with the body or wounds must be thoroughly wiped with ethanol or another antiseptic (chlorgesidine, myrimistin, hydrogen peroxide).
