Men Get Ingrown Hairs Too

Calling all men! Relief from ingrown facial hairs. ( Calling all ladies! How to get your guy to take care of his skin.)

I recently posted a story about helping my husband end his battle with ingrown facial hair and found out that many other women have similar stories. Like a lot of men, my husband’s ingrown facial hairs get red, infected, and often leaves dark spots on his skin once they are gone. I thought that once I introduced him to facial scrubs the problem would be solved but I soon found that not only was it difficult to get him to use it, but he was also not using it properly. It was definitely time for his first facial peel.


I was expecting to be greeted by strong resistance but he actually loved it! I had to practically force him to rinse it off. His response—“Oh, this is good!” He followed this by using my night cream (Mizu Hydrate Fight Cream)and he was in heaven. Now my rough and tough, manly man husband is using chemical peels and night cream and today I spoke to a client who had literally chased her husband around the house, TCA peel in hand, until he finally let her put it on his face. The result? He immediately told her to call me and order one for him and reminded her again first thing the next morning.


There are easy steps that guys can take to prevent and treat ingrown hairs and the dark spots left behind.

1. Use a microdermabrasion scrub BEFORE shaving to get the closest shave possible. You can continue to use this 2-3 times a week to keep that top layer of dead skin off that the ingrown hairs are getting caught in.
2. If this doesn’t solve the problem then a daily salicylic or glycolic exfoliant and/or a bi-weekly peel should do the trick, don’t worry guys—it’s as easy as applying them to your face and then rinsing them off. I recommend the AHA Kojic peel/exfoliant because it will exfoliate the skin and help fade the dark spots. 
3. Guys will also love the Green Tea SPF 30+ Moisturizer to use daily. It’s very light weight, has a matte finish, and gives them the antioxidants and sun protection that their skin needs (and don’t worry, it won’t make you smell like a girl).

To Peel or to Peel Kit? That is the question...

Many of our customers often inquire whether using a peel will help improve their skin, or should they use a peel kit. We generally recommend the kit for several reasons.

Let’s take a look at the Salicylic Acid peel. Salicylic Acid can turn problematic skin into well behaved, clear, healthy skin with proper use.

Daily treatments of Salicylic Acid result in less oil production, less break out, and less pore congestion. The Salicylic Acid peel adds to these benefits by decreasing fine lines, smoothing skin, and reducing pore size.

Because we want you to get the best results possible, our knowledgeable skin experts created the Salicylic Peel Kit which includes:

1. Daily Exfoliator to use in between peel applications to improve & maintain peel results.
2. Salicylic Acid Peel for use every 2-3 weeks.
3. Pure Hyaluronic Moisturizer to soothe,nourish, and hydrate the skin.

And the benefits of the skin peel kit? Well, the Daily Exfoliator is especially recommended for those new to using Salicylic skin care. Use prior to a peel application prepares your skin for the Salicylic Peel, boosts results from your peel and controls surface oil and pore congestion.

Why the Hyaluronic Moisturizer? This unique solution is perfect for promoting healthy new skin growth. It is purified, oil-free and one of the best available cosmetic ingredients for retaining your skin’s natural moisture. Hydrated skin makes less oil!

The Salicylic Peel Kits are available at www.naturalskinshop.com in light, medium, and deep strengths.
