What if we told you that Fauve developed the product to treat ingrown hairs in the bikini line, the Anti-Ingrown Hair Serum.

WHAT IS AN INGROWN HAIR?

An ingrown hair is a hair that grows under the skin , instead of breaking through it. It should stand up on the surface of our epidermis. However, it curls up on itself and continues to grow under the skin.


You see redness and spots appear, whether infected or not.


Ingrown hairs can be painful, create abscesses , cause inflammation and infections . When exposed to the sun , they can leave marks, scars or even pigment spots on the skin.


Ingrown hairs do not have a specific target and affect both women and men, on any area of ​​the body and face (bikini line, beard, buttocks, legs, etc.).

WHAT CAUSES INGROWN BIKINI HAIR?

The bikini line is a sensitive area where the skin is more fragile and reactive than on other parts of the body. It is also one of the most frequently waxed areas and the most exposed to friction from underwear. This makes it an area often prone to ingrown hairs.


Here are their playgrounds:


  • Fine hair : the thicker the hair, the more “strength” it has to pierce our epidermis. The finer it is, the harder it is to pass through the skin. It should not be forgotten that hair removal can thin the hair.
  • Curly hair : By definition, curly hair does not grow straight. It grows in a curved manner. This makes it much harder for it to penetrate the skin barrier.
  • Thick skin : The thicker the skin, the harder it is for hair to grow to its surface.
  • Dry and very dry skin : Dry skin is not very supple, and dead skin prevents hair from piercing it.
  • Clothes that are too tight : friction after friction, your skin thickens, disrupting the direction of hair growth.
  • Shaving against the grain : Yes, the razor only cuts the hair, but running the razor blade against the grain when shaving can also promote the appearance of ingrown hairs.

 

HOW TO PREVENT INGROWN HAIRS?

Mistakes to avoid.

We advise you to avoid these actions as much as possible:


  • Give in to the temptation to scratch it with tweezers or pierce it .
  • Trying to pull the hair out with tweezers will damage the erector spinae muscle and could result in a scar or pigmentation spot.

When the ingrown hair has already appeared, you must first disinfect the area with a natural antiseptic and antibacterial treatment .


You can opt for lavender essential oil* , tea tree essential oil, lemon or even honey . Leave on for about ten minutes then rinse. Repeat the application once a day, until the pimple is absorbed.


And if it remains painful, you can then apply a small towel or hot water compress to relieve the pain.

3 SIMPLE STEPS TO ADOPT IN YOUR SWIMSUIT CARE ROUTINE

The best preventative solution is undoubtedly hydration! To no longer have ingrown hairs, moisturize your bikini line daily. You can use our regulating care cream to slow down hair regrowth and reduce waxing or shaving.


Exfoliation helps prevent ingrown hairs from appearing. By exfoliating the area with a cosmetic or a natural exfoliating glove, once or twice a week , you will significantly limit the chances of seeing these unwanted pimples appear. Exfoliation smoothes the skin, removes cells that clog pores and prepares your skin to receive the care it needs (moisturizer, serum).


Make a green clay bikini mask once a week . Green clay is very effective against ingrown hairs. It is antimicrobial and purifying . Simply apply the clay in a thick layer to your bikini line (do not apply to the genitals) and leave on for 10 to 15 minutes. Take a shower to rinse. The skin is relieved, soothed, and the ingrown hairs will eventually come out. Don't forget that hydration also goes through the body. Drink a sufficient amount of water per day (1.5 L minimum).
