How do I get rid of in growths after waxing? I get terrible ingrowths which starts getting itchy before they come out of the skin and sometimes they don't even come of the skin, but grow within the skin.

I'm an esthetician, which means I'm a professional waxer. Aside from proper waxing techniques, salicylic acid, which is found in many acne face cleaners used daily on waxed areas helps prevent ingrown hairs. Salicylic acid is an exfoliater. You can use a product such as neutrogena face wash with salicylic acid just as you normally would on your face, but where you get ingrowns. As an added bonus if used in the underarms it helps control odor too :)

There is a great product called Tend Skin which will help with rash, ingrown hairs and other issues related to waxing. Also, make sure that the area is well cleansed before waxing and that the wax is being applied and pulled in the appropriate direction. Strip wax should be applied WITH the hair growth and hard wax AGAINST the growth. Wax should always be pulled against the growth pattern. Waxing truly needs to be done by a trained person. That trained person should know how to evaluate your hair growth patterns and should know how to address your skin issues.
