Shaving Complications
One of the worst parts of dry skin is dealing with shaving complications. The biggest issue being those pesky, painful ingrown hairs. When your hair follicles aren’t happy, your hair growth can be rough, and very uncomfortable, not to mention growing in the wrong direction!
Ah those pesky razor bumps! We have all been there unfortunately. First off what causes them? Ingrown hairs normally occur when we shave too close and nick the top of the hair follicle. This causes it to become partially obstructed which in turn forces the hair inside to grow at an angle. Sometimes these hairs pierce the side of the follicle and bury themselves inside the skin. The skin reacts by becoming inflamed, appearing as tiny painful red bumps, spots or razor burns. Ingrown hair can also occur when an individual hair grows straight up out of a follicle, then curls back down and reenters the follicle. Most ingrown hairs straighten out within a week or two but left to persist can become infected, very painful, and possibly cause permanent scarring.
Now that we understand what causes them we can understand how to deal with them. The first step is prevention and by this we mean using the correct products to shave. But what if you already have razor bums and ingrown hairs I hear you say. Well there are also products that cure! Whichever you need, we have got you covered!
First of all let us look at prevention.

Urban ReLeaf RAZOR BUMP Soothing Salve
Magic in a tub! Well okay I’m a little biased when it comes to this wonderful product as I have been using it personally for over 15 years! I can’t speak highly enough about it!

Wonderful ‘raw’ texture that melts on contact with skin. Deeply nourishing and healing. My one tub has lasted me over a year so yes it is definitely worth the investment. You only need a ‘tiny’ bit!
