Scrub gloves, the best defence to ingrown hair

Do you have ingrown hairs?  I think you will agree with me that ingrown hairs are a pain and can be unsightly and can also really hurt.  I used to have the same problem, especially on my legs.

It wasn’t until I met an Esthetician who gave me a little tip, that I finally found relief.  Scrub gloves have been my saviour.  I can now comfortably run around town in a pair of shorts without worrying about my ugly ingrown hair bumps or scars from picking them.

You will be surprised at how scrub gloves can prevent ingrown hairs! In this blog, I will help you find the best scrubber to help you overcome ingrown hairs as well. I will show you which the best selling and best quality scrubbers are out there.

How scrub gloves can prevent ingrown hairs

The best way to prevent ingrown hairs is to start with the most basic form of exfoliation.  A manual scrubber.  Manual scrubbers are a great option because, it’s simple to do, can be inexpensive, and you can use it with your favourite body wash or soap.  Physical exfoliants work on the uppermost layers of skin. This speeds up the natural exfoliation rate and helps to keep skin soft, smooth, and healthy.

There are a variety of manual scrubbers on the market and we want to help you find the best one for you.

For this blog post, we will talk about handheld exfoliators. I.e., brushes, cloths mitts etc.

If you choose a brush, sponge or cloth for exfoliation, it’s very important to clean these products regularly. The dead skin that’s removed during exfoliation is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria, especially when damp. Clean your exfoliating tool weekly and store it in a place where it can dry quickly.

Whether it’s a synthetic mesh bath pouf, a loofah or something else, regularly changing out your used bath sponge for a new one can keep bacteria and mould at bay. In the warm, wet atmosphere that exists in most bathrooms, these organisms can grow quickly, and they could spread to your skin if you don’t change your sponge regularly. This misuse of sponges can lead to rashes or infections due to bacteria, and using a sponge that hasn’t been properly cleaned or stored can also promote the growth of mould in your home.
