Whether you’re male, female or non-binary, removing hair from your legs, face or some other area, there’s no denying the fact that shaving is still the most popular methind of de-fuzzing yourself. Shaving is cheap and easy, and it gives pretty good results, but there are a few downsides. Ingrown hairs can be a problem, especially in the pubic region, and some people feel that their hair grows back far too quickly after shaving. There are, however, products which can assist you with all of these problems, making shaving more convenient than ever. Here are some of our favourites:
Lycon Ingrown-X-It Foaming Wash
This foaming wash is highly effective in minimising the appearance of ingrown hairs, while calming and decongesting breakouts for the entire body and face. It protects the skin’s pH balance, leaving skin feeling clean, soft, smooth and moisturised. With lemon tea tree, arnica and calendula, it can be used before and between shaves to protect the skin.
REN Clean Skincare Rosa Centifolia Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser
Using a gentle exfoliating cleanser before shaving, like this one from REN Clean Skincare, can purify and detoxify your skin while prepping your skin for a closer shave. The multi-functional product contains jojoba wax beads that work to gently scrub away dead cells revealing fresh skin underneath, while the jojoba seed oil deeply hydrates, plumps and firms the skin.
Lycon Ingrown X-It Solution
This breakthrough spray product from Lycon can be used on both face and body to mildly exfoliate, decongest and help minimise the appearance and discomfort of ingrown hairs. It reduces redness and helps to take down and swelling and is great for after waxing, shaving, depilatory creams, electrolysis and for regular breakouts and congested skins. It’s easy and convenient to use and has a cooling combination of allantoin and arnica.
Decleor Post Hair Removal Cooling Gel
This gel from Decleor is designed to use after shaving, or any other type of hair removal. It’s formulated with clove and chamomile essential oils to provide an instant soothing effect and is suitable for face and body, including delicate and intimate areas. It’s clinically proven to help reduce the appearance of ingrown hairs and reduce hair regrowth, allowing you longer times between hair removal sessions.
Lycon Hair On Strike
Many products claim to reduce hair regrowth with little evidence to back that up, but this scientifically advanced formula is proven to visibly diminish the appearance of unwanted hair growth after waxing, shaving, laser, electrolysis and depilatory creams. With regular use the look of hair becomes finer, softer and lighter in colour, as hairless patches develop. It should be used immediately after hair removal, then every morning and evening thereafter, for maximum results.
