Ingrown Hair Treatments

Ingrown hairs are a common concern that can cause irritation and visible bumps, especially after shaving, waxing or other forms of hair removal. They develop when a hair curls back into the skin or becomes trapped beneath the surface, often due to dryness, dead skin build-up or clogged pores.

AMELIORATE’s ingrown hair treatments are created to address these issues with a combination of gentle exfoliation and hydration. The collection is designed to smooth rough patches, help release trapped hairs and support more comfortable skin over time.

What is an ingrown hair?

An ingrown hair develops when a hair grows sideways or curls back into the skin instead of emerging normally. This can cause small bumps that may look red or feel irritated. Ingrown hairs are especially common after shaving, waxing or other forms of hair removal.

What is the best treatment for ingrown hairs?

The best ingrown hair treatment combines exfoliation and hydration. Exfoliating creams or scrubs with ingredients such as lactic acid or glycolic acid remove dead skin cells and help release trapped hairs, while hydrating lotions keep the skin supple and less likely to trap new hairs. AMELIORATE offers creams and exfoliators created with this balance in mind.

What is the best way to prevent ingrown hairs?

Prevention starts with good prep before hair removal. Gently exfoliate to lift away dead skin, use clean tools and follow with a soothing lotion to calm the skin. Consistent moisturising keeps the skin soft, making it less likely for hairs to curl back under the surface.

Do ingrown hairs ever go away on their own?

Yes, many ingrown hairs will resolve naturally as the hair eventually breaks through the skin’s surface. However, they may last longer without care. Regular exfoliation and moisturising can speed up the process and reduce the likelihood of more ingrown hairs developing.
