Transcript

If you shave sideways ingrown hairs it causes irritation. Even if you shave it can still cause irritation. No matter which direction you shave, you still get ingrown hairs. An ingrown hair means the hair is inside the skin. As a Korean Aesthetician, let me show you how to take care of ingrown hair. Step 1. A day before you shave, you need to exfoliate. They block the hair from growing out, which leads to ingrown hair. So use glycolic acid to gently exfoliate. STEP 2. Shave with the grain. Before you shave, check the direction of hair growth. For your legs and arms, shave from top to bottom. STEP 3. After shaving, we need to calm down the irritated skin. Any moisturizer, use an aloe gel to soothe your skin. Shaving too often isn't good for your skin. Your skin barrier, keratosis pilaris. I recommend doing it once every 2 to 3 days. Let's all get that clear skin.
