of Razor Bumps, Ingrown Hairs, Skin Redness from Hair
Removal and More! Tend Skin is the perfect compliment
to your skin care regimen after our famous Brazilian Waxing
- only at Brazilia Skin Care.
No other product in the world can do
all that Tend SkinŽ Lotion does, especially when it
comes to ingrown hairs and razor bumps (Pseudofolliculitis
barbae, PFB).
Ingrown Hairs:
Ingrown hairs form when hairs, growing back after shaving,
waxing, electrolysis, or other hair removal method, and
fail to grow out of the skin. The hairs curl over inside
the follicles under the skin (just like the "razor
bump" hairs curl above the skin). By curling, the
hair creates a foreign body reaction in the hair follicle.
The inflammation in the follicle then creates and unsightly
"bump".
Razor bumps (pseudofolliculitis
barbae, pronounced "soo-doe-fol-li-cu-li'-tis): Razor
bumps are created when the growing beard hairs exit the
skin, curl over, and burrow into the adjacent skin. This
creates a foreign body reaction resulting in an unsightly
"bump". Razor bumps form on the beard areas
of men-mostly Black men and about 15-20% of Caucasian
men. Occurrence varies with nationality.
