Ingrown hairs might appear to be pimples, but that description is more akin to a possible symptom of ingrown hairs rather than an accurate definition. What ingrown hairs are, in fact, are hairs that, in the process of growing, curl downwards to the point where they grow back into your skin.

Ingrown hairs are more likely than not to occur post-puberty, and they tend to show up in areas of the body where the hair is coarse — namely the bikini region for women as well as the face and neck regions for men.

Swimsuits are popping up on all the style sites. For men, summer means just another pair of boardshorts. For women, though, summer and swimsuits mean that tending the bikini line is a must.

Grooming the bikini area is one of the most difficult shaving feats. Sensitive skin combined with the most delicate of areas makes women apprehensive. Nicks and cuts hurt so much worse down below. And irritation becomes more prominent and embarrassingly visible.

Hooray for warm weather and sunshine! It’s time for shorts, miniskirts…and bathing suits. Unfortunately, nice warm days also means that jeans and pants can no longer hide those hairy legs that we might have hidden when we were a little too lazy to shave. Admit it, because we all did it at least once during the winter months!

Shaving is once again about to become an almost daily ritual for women. And for you men, it’s about to get too hot for stubble or any major facial growth…so you’re right here with us!

Everyone wants to have smooth, healthy, beautiful skin. But the truth can be ugly. Ingrown hairs are pesky, irritating, and even embarrassing. If you shave or use another method of hair removal, chances are you have had at least one. They are indiscriminate and affect both men and women in any area where hair is removed, but most commonly in the beard, underarm, or bikini line areas. But what causes them? Even more importantly, you probably want to know how you can get rid of them and prevent them from coming back.

Summer means lots of sun and hanging out poolside. Which means, summer is all about swimwear! Maybe you can’t wait to find that new tankini, or maybe you’re groaning in horror just thinking about those spandex nightmares hanging amongst the rack. Finding the perfect swimsuit is kind of like finding the perfect pair of jeans…it’s a lot of searching, a ton of frustration but worth it in the end.
