Product Information

To act preventatively, make sure you're shaving in a way that's safe. First start by cleaning your skin with warm water and a good exfoliant to loosen your hair follicles beforehand. Then, use a fresh blade and shave in the direction of the hair growth, says Dr. Marmur. How do you treat an ingrown hair? But the benefits of exfoliating don’t end there, here’s a full list of benefits you will enjoy if you include exfoliating as the first step in your beauty routine: Removes Dead Skin Cells

Ranella Hirsch, MD, is a dermatologist in Cambridge, Massachusetts. How do you prevent an ingrown hair? If you’re shaving your bikini line or pubic hairs, then you’ll know this area is particularly sensitive. Exfoliating bikini areas regularly can help keep the area smooth, ingrown hair free and ready to be shaved. Our Gillette Venus Skin Smoothing Exfoliant is dermatologically tested and gynaecologist approved, so it’s safe to use on your body or pubic area. Plus, with its gentle PH balanced formula, it’s ideal for those with sensitive skin. Gentle Exfoliators for Dry Body SkinSupplied in a handy 177ml container, the Venus Skin Smooth Exfoliant for Pubic Hair and Skin gently removes dead skin cells from your bikini line. It will also help to wash away the naturally occurring sebum from the skin's surface that can lead to trapped or ingrown hairs. Fine smoothing particles in the formulation lightly exfoliate the skin's surface for pubic hair removal. When it comes to the different types of ingrown hairs, the size of them makes a huge difference. “Coarser hairs create more inflammation and can become infected. That's called a furuncle,” says dermatologist Dr. Ellen Marmur, MD. “The most severe is when a cluster of infected ingrown hairs connect under the skin, which is called a carbuncle.”

This thoughtfully developed exfoliant works by leaving your intimate shaving area glowingly healthy by washing away sebum and loosening dead skin cells – and that's just the start! While the exfoliator helps you rinse off surface dirt, it also helps protect your skin's natural moisture barrier, extracting any excess oils that may lead to trapped ingrown hairs.

What Does an Exfoliator Do?

If you suffer from skin conditions like eczema or rosacea it’s always best to consult your dermatologist. Exfoliators for sensitive skin may still cause irritation, so perform a patch test on your hand before trying any product on your face. We recommend using natural scrubs like oatmeal for a delicate exfoliation. But, there are safe ways to prevent and treat those pesky ingrown hairs, whether they're on your pubic area, face, or legs. Below, dermatologists explain those at-home methods. Are there different types of ingrown hairs? No matter your facial skin type, we always recommend you patch test before using any exfoliator and introduce it to your cleansing routine slowly. So, if you’re wondering how often to exfoliate sensitive skin, the answer is to start by exfoliating once per week, seeing how it affects your skin, and if the results are positive, building it up gradually to two-three times per week. A series of dermatological tests have been carried out on this product to ensure it is soft on skin when exfoliating. The pubic hair removal exfoliant has also been gynaecologically tested.

As mentioned, exfoliators are great for removing dead skin cells that get trapped on your body or face. By using exfoliators, you can help remove flaky, dry or even old suntan, leaving you with smooth and even skin. Stimulates Cell Renewal A common mistake people with blemishes or breakouts make is over-exfoliating the skin in the hope it will renew faster. This is not recommended – scrubbing too aggressively may cause irritation, redness and even soreness. To exfoliate sensitive skin that’s oily or blemish-prone, start exfoliating once a week with a scrub and introduce chemical exfoliators alongside the scrubs slowly, gradually using them up to three times a week alternating between the two products. Dry Facial Skin Now that you know the ins and outs of exfoliating dry and sensitive skin, the next step to keep your skin feeling and looking great is to apply after shave balms. As previously mentioned, exfoliating helps skincare products penetrate your skin further. But this doesn’t just apply to your face!

Should You Exfoliate Before or After Shaving?

Ah, ingrown hairs. Most everyone has experienced them and despised it. The pesky little bumps typically show up on your legs after you shave or tweeze aggressively, forming hairs that grow inside your (now inflamed) skin rather than out of it. “When a hair becomes trapped in the skin, that can lead to inflammation, pustules, or inflamed cysts,” says dermatologist Dr. Caroline Robinson, MD. But compared to the skin on your body, your face is naturally more sensitive. As such, you should only use exfoliators designed to be used on the face. Oily or Combination Skin with Blemishes Exfoliating boosts the circulation by stimulating blood flow to the area, helping your skin look radiant. But boosting your circulation doesn’t just make your skin appear nicer, it also helps stimulate cell production which helps your skin look young and fresh in the long-run. Evens Your Skin Tone
