Ingrown Hairs

Ingrown hairs occur when the hair shaft grows back into the skin or when the hairs curl around before they even exit the skin’s surface. This is more common with beard hairs because they are coarse and often curly. If you shave, you're even more prone to them because the sharpened edge of the hair can easily poke back into the skin. Ingrown hairs can be painful and unsightly, but, with the right knowledge and care, you can keep them at bay.

Here are some steps you can take to prevent ingrown hairs:

Exfoliate Regularly: Regular exfoliation is key; using a good face scrub will help the circulation and enable the hair to exit the skin as it should.

Shave Correctly: When shaving and tidying up, shave in the direction of the hair growth, using a good quality razor and STUARTS shaving oil.

Use Beard Oil: It will keep the pores and skin healthy, as well as softening up the new hair nicely.

Let It Grow: The simplest way to prevent ingrowing hairs is to let the hair grow naturally and stop shaving!
