Ingrown hair on your legs???

[labella]

Does anyone know how to get rid of ingrown hair on legs??? I stop shaving a while back and starting waxing but the ingrown hair aren't going away. I have tried exfoliating the legs one a week. Not helping...Some people say, it's because I'm wearing too many pants, especially tight jeans. I love jeans and can't get rid of them from my wardrobe. Anyone got any ideas?

i sometimes get them and i just run a tweezer over it and softly scrape the hair out. i don't know about you hun, but i'm not about to give up my jeans!

I shave mine and don't have a problem with this but I would suggest soaking in a warm bath and perhaps applying a product like this after shaving/waxing.

Have you tried dry brushing with a natural bristle body brush? Or used a natural loofah in the shower? They're a bit abrasive, but good for ingrowns.

Oh wow! I had never heard of ingrown hair on legs. I don't suppose it's too unusual, but as always....I know where to come if I ever get one!

I do the same thing Hersh does whenever I happen to get one, which is very rare. I can say tight jeans aren't good for the "you-know-where" area though if the jeans are TOO tight and worn TOO often!

omg, you have to try "Bliss Ingrown Hair Eliminating Peeling Pads". They are great. They are expensive, but really are worth it.

Thanks for the input. I'll check the Bliss product and try the soft bristle brush. I'll keep everyone updated. I'm in desperation so I'll try anything. My hubby and I are heading to Hawaii in Sept so hopefully I'll be able to get rid of them by then. Cheers!!!

I have not had ingrown hair on my legs either... it must be a pain in the a$$ though.

I second the dry body brushing

 

[Maja]

Make sure you use exfoliators / body brushing regularly; before and after shaving that is.

i get them on my thighs when i shave. tight jeans gotta love them. lol. just exfoliate it and use a tweezer to get them out. dont' pick at them!! i always do this by accident and it just makes itw orse

Hmm, this must happen more often than we think. I think the dry brush and loofah sound like great ideas.

i hardly ever wear pants, or at least tight ones. i never had a problem with ingrown hairs until i started using an electric razor. i haven't used it in a long time but still get some. i just get a needle or sometimes i can use the side of my nail and just pick at it a little to lift it up. i exfoliate too.
