[Hair Removal] I think I finally found a solution to my problem with ingrown hairs. Maybe this can help other people, too.

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I don't shave very often. Sometimes that means I'll let my hair grow out for a couple of days (if I plan on showing my legs), and sometimes that means going full teddy bear over a couple of months (it's winter and I need the extra insulation to keep warm...or so I tell myself). But for the entirety of my life I have always struggled with ingrown hairs. I've tried so many different razors, shaving creams, exfoliants and moisturizers with no results. I even tried the neosporin trick--I still ended up with a ton of ingrown hairs. I was honestly getting to the point where I was considering saving up for IPL because it felt like there was no point to shaving my legs if they were just going to be sporting a bunch of tiny, painful red bumps. I was beginning to think it was just my lot in life to struggle with ingrown hairs until a few nights ago. I have a new shower caddy that hangs quite high in my shower and I couldn't reach my usual shaving cream, so because I was just being a bit lazy, I picked up my epsom salt body wash instead. I already knew this stuff did wonders for my skin, but I'd never used it like a shaving gel before. I could tell a difference immediately--the razor glided on my legs like never before, and the hair came off with just one pass in most places (had to work a bit with the baby hairs on my thighs, but I always do anyway). No awkward snags or dragging, which isn't entirely unusual with a good quality shaving gel/cream, but it was a good sign that this body wash could actually work as a shaving cream substitute. When I was done, my legs were very smooth and I had a very close shave, which usually spells doom for me. However, I decided to give it a chance and see if it would at least reduce the amount of ingrown hairs I'm used to getting. And here I am, three days later and leg hair starting to get prickly...with absolutely no ingrown hairs. Not a one. And the only thing I did differently was use an epsom salt body wash as my shaving...medium, so to speak. I didn't even exfoliate or moisturize. I don't know if it was the epsom salt or the brand of body wash itself, but I thought I would share the experience if anyone else is like me and just can't get rid of the ingrown hairs. Obviously it's no guarantee, but maybe this will help. TL;DR: Using epsom salt body wash as a shave gel may have solved my ingrown hair issue.Edit: For anyone who wants to know the brand name, it was Dr. Teal's Pure Epsom Salt Body Wash. Unfortunately, it's scented, so this probably won't work out for people who are sensitive to perfumes.
