Whether you grow a beard or not, there's one thing you'll notice: facial hair grows back. After shaving, the hair sometimes grows back limply, becoming ingrown in the follicle itself or curling back toward the skin and becoming embedded. In both cases, your body may react as if the hair were a foreign body, developing a pimple around it in defense. In case you want to be a connoisseur, this is technically known as "pseudofolliculitis barbae."
How to remove ingrown hairs from your beard?
You can find ingrown or ingrown hairs all along your beard, both on your face and neck. But until a horrible pimple appears, you don't wonder how to get rid of it. If this is your case, follow these steps:
1. Gently cleanse and exfoliate the area to remove all dirt. Sometimes simply scrubbing breaks down the skin surrounding the hair and releases it.
2. Apply a warm washcloth or steam (in the shower, for example) to soften the skin and open the pores, this will facilitate access.
Repeat the process for several days, until the hair you want to remove is almost completely covered. At this point, you can grab a pair of (clean) tweezers and remove it. Until this happens, and even if you're tempted, don't touch it!
* If the inflammation is severe, a topical antibiotic supervised by a physician is also recommended.
How to remove ingrown hair marks from your beard?
If this is your question, it's because, even though you knew you shouldn't have picked at it, you did. Now we're faced with a scar or indentation resulting from picking at the pimple. No problem, we have a solution!
1. Exfoliate the area to remove dead skin and help your skin renew itself.
2. Properly hydrate the area. Hydration improves all of your skin's regenerative processes. Look for a face cream suitable for men's skin. You can complement it with a hyaluronic acid serum, which will fill in the gaps in the area, providing structure to the skin and blurring the mark.
At FETĒN, we offer high-quality solutions specifically formulated for men's skin (you'll notice the difference ;)). Here's a recommendation to help you deal with the consequences of an ingrown pimple.
Go for it! And enjoy life to the fullest!
