Ingrown Concentrate 14ml

Product Information

Her advice for post-wax maintenance is to avoid tweezing ingrown hairs between sessions, as this usually does more harm than good and can lead to scarring and hyperpigmentation. Also, avoid touching your newly hair-free skin, as Coba points out that this will only clog pores and transfer the bacteria from your hands to your face and other susceptible body parts. When it comes to the different types of ingrown hairs, the size of them makes a huge difference. “Coarser hairs create more inflammation and can become infected. That's called a furuncle,” says dermatologist Dr. Ellen Marmur, MD. “The most severe is when a cluster of infected ingrown hairs connect under the skin, which is called a carbuncle.” Ah, ingrown hairs. Most everyone has experienced them and despised it. The pesky little bumps typically show up on your legs after you shave or tweeze aggressively, forming hairs that grow inside your (now inflamed) skin rather than out of it. “When a hair becomes trapped in the skin, that can lead to inflammation, pustules, or inflamed cysts,” says dermatologist Dr. Caroline Robinson, MD.

Chamomile Extract: A natural antioxidant that calms the skin to soothe redness. One of the oldest known remedies for irritated skin. To act preventatively, make sure you're shaving in a way that's safe. First start by cleaning your skin with warm water and a good exfoliant to loosen your hair follicles beforehand. Then, use a fresh blade and shave in the direction of the hair growth, says Dr. Marmur. How do you treat an ingrown hair?

Where: Exfoliating with the finger mitt works best on wet skin, so for full body exfoliation, it’s easiest to do in the shower. If you’d just like to use it on your face, wetting your face in the sink is fine! How: In the shower, dampen mitt with water or your favorite body wash and exfoliate. The mitt is dual-sided, with a softer side for polishing sensitive skin and a more textured side for buffing rougher spots. Hang the mitt on its loop to dry, and machine wash as needed. For best results, follow up with Ingrown Concentrate or your favorite Fur product on dry skin. Yes, Fur Oil does work to treat and prevent ingrown hairs. For an even more focused ingrown treatment, go for the Ingrown Concentrate. Can you use Fur Oil on face? Tapioca Starch: A moisturizer extracted from the cassava plant. This natural starch replaces the silicone found in most lotions and has a dry finish. You can also “level up” your Fur loyalty status to earn even more points. There are three different loyalty memberships:

Testing Notes: We found that buffing the area helped dislodge any dead skin cells that could potentially clog the hair follicle. We like to apply the oil while the skin is still slightly damp, which allows the nourishing oil to sink even deeper into the skin. The smell is incredibly intoxicating and makes the whole experience of treating ingrown hairs into something far more luxurious. “My Fur Oil ritual turned my bathroom into a spa-like oasis,” says one WH editor in her review of the oil. "While the vegan oil is formulated without added fragrance, the natural ingredients do give off slight hints of lavender and lemon which simultaneously relax and invigorate. The light, refreshing scent was a great way to perk up in the morning." I have suffered with ingrown hairs and red bumps around my bikini area for years. This is the first product that actually works! I feel confident to wear my swimsuit again!” this fantastic Fur-ry freak sister enthused. These tiny hairs can create big problems, leading to painfully itchy redness, swelling, and even possible infections if left untreated. However, it's nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed by; ingrown hairs are an extremely common side effect of all types of hair removal methods, whether it's at-home laser hair removal devices, at-home waxing kits, or hair removal creams. After the first time I tried shaving my bikini line, I swore I would never do it again, because my ingrown hairs were inflamed and painful af. And unfortunately, even with wax kits, bikini trimmers, and hair-removal creams, my bikini line is still bumpy and irritated. But (!) I haven’t completely given up; instead, I have a full pre-wax/shave/trim routine filled with ingrown-hair treatments to help treat inflammation and exfoliate my skin.

Reviews

OK, so we know that Emma Watson is a Fur fan—but what do everyday customers have to say? This Fur review dug deep to give you the skinny on the brand and its products, right from the horse’s mouth to your ears (well, eyes). Ingrown hairs can be complicated to treat, which is why this oil from Fur takes a two-pronged approach. The textured finger mitt is meant to be used in the shower to gently exfoliate the affected area. Once you’re out of the shower, apply the oil to soothe any irritation and prevent future ingrown hair.
