Notice dark, bumpy spots on your skin? You likely have ingrown hairs, which can lead to hyper-pigmented scarring! To avoid ingrowns, use a scrub with salicylic acid before shaving to clear them and prevent infection. Then, apply a non-comedogenic shaving foam and shave in the direction of hair growth. Use a single-blade razor as it doesn't create much pressure on skin. making ingrowns less susceptible compared to multiple blades.
