Ingrown Hairs? Try an Exfoliating Post-Shave Scrub — Here Are 5 We Love
March 19, 2021
Ingrown hairs can be stubborn to address, which is why taking care of the skin in the areas you shave is key. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, ingrown hairs are caused by curved follicles that re-enter the skin once the hair is cut and start to grow back. You can help avoid incidents of ingrown hairs and razor bumps in a multitude of ways, one of which includes post-shave exfoliation. Ahed, find five exfoliators we love.
L’Oréal Pure Sugar Nourish & Soften Cocoa Scrub
To keep your skin nourished and soft, try this pure sugar scrub with cocoa from L’Oréal Paris. It’s exfoliating, smells amazing and with continuous use, your skin will look more refined and feel softer and smoother. After shaving and gently scrubbing, apply an aftershave lotion like the Thayers Gentleman's Aftershave Lotion.

Formulated with aloe vera and chamomile, this rich body scrub effectively exfoliates the skin without over-drying it. The ultimate post-shave addition to any routine, it leaves skin soft and primed for moisturization.

We love scrubbing down with a gentle body bar after shaving, and this exfoliating option is a must-try. It helps soften skin texture, and the cedar wood scent is absolutely heavenly.

This booty scrub is rich in antioxidants and fatty acids. Pick up one small scoop of this walnut scrub, exfoliate the area, and watch the product transform into a creamy lather.
