Answer

Exfoliate. By exfoliating, you are removing the top layer of skin and it gives the hairs a chance to grow out instead of growing in under that skin. So by scrubbing your legs in the shower each time, you should reduce the numbers of ingrown hairs you get.


Once you get an ingrown hair, use tweezers to gently break the skin above it and either pluck it or let it grow. Try not to cause a scab as this will make the next hair more likely to become ingrown in the same spot.
