Buzz
Opt for brown sugar or fine white sand.
When bathing, wet your body and use sugar to massage in circular motions, the tiny edges of the sugar both exfoliate and scrub, reducing ingrown hairs.
Baking soda
Many think baking soda is just for baking and household cleaning, but abroad, it's widely used in beauty routines from head to toe. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, baking soda is gentle on the skin, reducing itching from ingrown hairs and redness. Here's the recipe:
Mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with 1 cup of water, stir well, then use a cotton pad soaked in the solution to dab onto the area with inflamed hair follicles, wait for about 5 minutes, then rinse off with cold water.
Alternatively, mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with 1 tablespoon of oats and 5 tablespoons of water to form a paste, then massage onto the skin for 5 minutes. Oats also help soften and nourish sensitive skin.
Tea tree oil
Another essential is tea tree oil, renowned for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Recipe: - Mix 3 tablespoons of water with 5 drops of tea tree oil, stir until the oil partially dissolves, then use a cotton pad soaked in the solution to wipe onto the inflamed area of the skin, leave it on for 10 minutes, then rinse off with warm water.
Aspirin
Now, you might wonder what aspirin, a medication, has to do with this, but many women crush it into powder to use as a facial mask for acne treatment. Because aspirin contains salicylic acid, it's excellent for treating acne, inflamed pores, and has great antibacterial properties, while also exfoliating inside the pores.
Crush 2 aspirin tablets into powder + 1 tablespoon of water to make a paste + 1 tablespoon of honey. Apply to the skin and gently massage for 10 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
Salt
Many of you may have tried using salt to exfoliate your skin, right? But did you know it also helps improve blood circulation, reduce swelling and inflammation, which is very beneficial for those with folliculitis?
Recipe: Dissolve 1/2 tablespoon of sea salt in 1 cup of warm water, then use a cotton pad soaked in that solution to wipe onto the inflamed skin area, twice daily until completely healed, ladies.
Wishing all you ladies to have smooth and radiant skin soon.
