An ingrown hair is a common skin concern that occurs when a shaved, tweezed or waxed hair grows back on itself and into the skin. This can cause inflammation and can sometimes lead to infection; resulting in tiny, painful bumps around the area. Exactly what we don’t want this Christmas season!
Using body care containing Lactic Acid as a key ingredient will help speed up the process of removing dead skin cells on the skin surface that can contribute to the formation of ingrown hairs. AMELIORATE’s transforming skincare therapies are supercharged with AMELIORATE’s unique LaH6 Skin Hydration Complex; a combination of 6 active ingredients including Lactic Acid, Sodium Lactate, Urea, Serine, Allantoin and Hydrolysed Milk Protein to help smooth, hydrate and support the skin’s natural exfoliation process.
Here’s your perfect ingrown hair prevention routine:
Step One: Exfoliating Body Mitt RRP £10
Begin your ingrown hair prevention routine with our Exfoliating Body Mitt. Made from an innovative fabric weave that is much gentler than a natural or synthetic loofah, this super effective body mitt sweeps away dead skin cells and reveals a smoother, healthier complexion. Suitable for all skin types and gentle enough to be used daily, kick start your exfoliation process and massage in circular movements on dry skin before showering or bathing.
Step two: Smoothing Body Exfoliant RRP £25
Before stepping in the bath or shower, massage our Smoothing Body Exfoliant onto dry skin 2-3 times per week and leave on the skin for a few minutes to allow the ingredients to work their magic. Supercharged with Biodegradable Bamboo Granules and Lactic Acid, this ingrown hair exfoliator both physically and chemically exfoliates above and below the skin’s surface for optimum results. Infused with a combination of Cocoa and Shea Butters along with Coconut Oil, this exfoliating treatment is clinically proven* to significantly increase moisture levels in the skin for up to 8 hours.
Step Three: Transforming Body Lotion RRP £24
Finally, smooth our bestselling Transforming Body Lotion over your skin to lock-in moisture and gently resurface. An Ameliorate hero, this lightweight lotion is charged with active ingredients including AHAs, Sweet Almond Oil and of course, our adored LaH6 Complex. This nourishing body lotion both exfoliates and renews skin cells whilst drawing moisture into the skin to soften, protect and unblock hair follicles.
