Re: ingrowns and hyperpigmentation on legs and bikini line

I never experienced any irritation or ingrown hairs, rashes, even at the bikini line, after getting a Supply razor. Then you can use any product you want. The guy was NASA engineer and created a razor that will not cause any bumps, none whatsoever. I would check it out - he tells you why it's the razor. I can shave anywhere and fast and let me say, I put whatever on I want. My review is on there.

 

Now I use any products I want after I shave and I'm good to go. I love using this to shave, and as aftershave too (I have a medley but like this)! Kopari Coconut Melt Mini 2.5 oz/ 75 mL 

 

I exfoliate without burning with Rituals The Ritual of Sakura Body Scrub - a Sephora gift. It was nice of them.

 

I don't have these worries. Sometimes it's the tool being used. Just another perspective here.

Re: ingrowns and hyperpigmentation on legs and bikini line

These are some tips that really help me.
1) I started using an African Bath Sponge . You can find them online or your local African market for 10$ or less. Cut them in half and now you have 2 for the price of 1. You can also use an exfoliating glove as a substitute.

 

2) I started double cleansing with a wash that contains active acids. These are some options in order from $ to $$$

  • Baby Dove Wash + 2 pumps of CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser
  • Necessaire The Body Exfoliator
  • Glytone Exfoliating Body Wash

3) I started following up showers with better moisturizers and spf (Eucerin, Neutrogena Body Oil, Black Girl Suncreen)

 

Hope this helps 💞

I take a bottle (1oz) of the ordinary lactic acid serum and dump it into my tub of Polysporin or Vaseline cream. Mix it up and I use that on my legs and my ingrown hairs have pretty much stopped all together. My hyperpigmentation and scars from sport injuries have also faded dramatically. For my bikini line I use Shaveworks or Bikinizone. They both work great, Bikinizone I get from the drug store and Shaveworks from Sephora. Also the Jack Black beard lube I find really helps the hairs grow back softer so less ingrowns. And then don’t forget to exfoliate before shaving and continue exfoliating well the hairs are growing in. I like the Kiehl’s ultimate man body scrub bar soap. It’s a bar so super easy to use in the shower and it’s got a decent texture to it for exfoliating. And the bar doesn’t melt fast so it last a long time. 
Shaveworks The Cool Fix™ 2 oz 

Jack Black Beard Lube® Conditioning Shave 16 oz/ 473 mL  

The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA 2% Exfoliating Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL
