Apricot scrub reducing ingrown hairs

[nmgrrrl]

Ingrown hairs were making me crazy: the itch, the red bumps, sometimes hated to wear pants. My daughter recommended apricot facial scrub before and between shaves. Exfoliating the skin frees the hair and keeps it from becoming ingrown.
I use it before shaving my legs and underarms too. Its great for an allover body scrub and gets rid of pimples on your butt. Be careful not to over scrub and rinse really well. (I like to scrub my breasts too..leaves my tits so smooth and nipples pink).

Anything is worth a try! Does it have to be Apricot or can it be another 'fragrance'?

I believe it's called Apricot because it is made from ground up apricot pits, that's what puts the bumpy stuff in it that gets rid of your bumpy stuff.

I've used it on my face and like it as an exfoliant. There are inexpensive brands at Target and Wal-Mart, etc. Give one of those a try and if you don't like the fragrance you won't be out much money.

So when I use a peach scrub is it made from peach pits? How about my vanilla scrub? Vanilla beans?? Ok... so now you know, I don't know a damn thing about cosmetics and 'that stuff'!! I never was a girly girl!!

I almost bust a gut laughing, though. Thanks! I needed that!

Now if you find one called 'Orange Scrub' I don't think you'll find orange pits in there.

These days, it could be about anything that goes into beauty products.

Hmmm, interesting. I'll have to give this a try. I have heard that efoliating before shaving/waxing does help...just haven't tried it.

Thanks for the tip.

It is called ST Ives apricot scrub, they have many varieties, and they are all great, but the original is the best for this, it works great, use it on my legs all the time, never thought of "there" though. Will have to try it.

St. Ives is the one I use!

They have a regular and a mild. I prefer the regular, but other women may like the finer grain (and less particles) in the mild version.

From what I know most of these scrubs, such as the orange one, will have ground up almonds or something of that nature with citrus added to help break away dead skin. I prefer to stick with all natural stuff. Having a scrub with artaficial fragrances and cleansers makes more problems than it solves.

I however havent tryed a good one for when I shave my pubes. I haveonly done this once so far, but damn is the razor burn a killer. I will give this a shot next time I shave.
