How to fight ingrown hairs

How to fight ingrown hairs

by Eliška Škvařilová in Blog PURITY VISION

Ingrown hairs can be a real nuisance. One day your legs are smooth, your underarms shaved, or your bikini line freshly groomed – and a few days later, bumps, itching, and hairs curling back under the skin instead of growing outward appear. The skin becomes red, itchy, and sometimes even painful. Fortunately, it’s easy to prevent. You just need to know a few effective steps that will keep your skin beautifully soft and smooth.

WHAT CAUSES INGROWN HAIRS?

Ingrown hairs are often caused by a layer of dead skin cells that prevents the hair from breaking through. If you add irritation from shaving or epilation, dry skin, and tight clothing, you get the perfect environment for bumps and ingrown hairs.

Technique matters a lot too – shaving against the direction of growth, using a dull razor, or unnecessarily stretching the skin can cause the hair to be cut at an angle and curl back under the skin. With epilation, the issue is usually irritation or poorly prepared skin – then the hair can’t find its way out after being pulled and stays trapped underneath.


HOW TO PREVENT INGROWN HAIRS?

1. START WITH EXFOLIATING THE SKIN

Exfoliation is a key step that helps keep the skin smooth, clean, and free of dead skin buildup. Do it 2–3× a week – ideally 1–2 days before hair removal and again the day after shaving or epilation. This makes it easier for hairs to reach the surface.

A great choice is the Bio Caring Calendula Scrub by PURITY VISION®. Its fine sugar particles provide gentle exfoliation, and the blend of nourishing oils – sunflower, almond, jojoba, and sea buckthorn – beautifully softens the skin. Calendula extract also soothes the skin, making it suitable even for sensitive types. And as a bonus – it smells wonderfully of orange and vanilla.

2. HOW TO REMOVE HAIR PROPERLY

Take a warm shower before shaving or epilation – the hairs and skin soften, making the process gentler. When shaving, always use a sharp razor and shave in the direction of hair growth. Avoid going over the same spot repeatedly – this is a common cause of irritation and ingrown hairs.

If you prefer epilation, try a gentler option like the Bioepil Sugar Wax. It contains herbal extracts and is suitable even for sensitive areas such as the bikini line, underarms, or the upper lip. Apply the paste against the direction of growth and pull it off in the direction of growth – this prevents irritation and removes hairs along with the root. The result is smooth skin for a longer time.

3. AFTERCARE

No matter which method you choose – your skin deserves relief afterward. Bio Aloe Vera Gel cools, hydrates, and reduces redness. If your skin feels sensitive or tight, reach for Bio Chamomile Water, which soothes it beautifully. For dry or irritated areas, Calendula Butter is ideal – it nourishes, supports regeneration, and leaves the skin soft to the touch.


Try adding these small steps to your regular routine and give your skin a chance to be calm, soft, and bump-free again. And if you’ve managed to beat ingrown hairs, let us know – we appreciate every experience. 🌿

Calendula NEW Arrivals: How to Strengthen the Skin Barrier and Soothe Sensitive Skin

Calendula NEW Arrivals: How to Strengthen the Skin Barrier and Soothe Sensitive Skin

Sensitive, reddened, or irritated skin is a problem we all know. It is often caused by a weakened skin barrier – our natural protective shield that prevents moisture loss and protects the skin from external stressors. When this barrier is compromised, the skin becomes overly reactive even to common stimuli, and active ingredients such as retinol or vitamin C lose their effectiveness. That’s why we are introducing new products that combine the power of calendula with modern scientific knowledge: Bio Calendula Cleansing Foam and Bio Calendula Protective Serum. Bio Calendula Cleansing Foam Our foam gently cleanses the skin, removing impurities, makeup, and SPF without drying it out. A combination of aloe vera, betaine, and glycerin hydrates the skin and leaves it feeling fresh. Calendula and bisabolol support regeneration and soothe even very sensitive skin. The foam is ideal for daily use and is also suitable for double cleansing, which helps keep pores clean and the skin barrier strong. Bio Calendula Protective Serum This serum is our SOS care for irritated and reddened skin. Thanks to ceramides and seaweed extract, it strengthens the skin barrier and locks in hydration. Oat extract and probiotics help reduce irritation and restore balance, while sea buckthorn and jojoba oil nourish the skin. Calendula and immortelle provide immediate comfort and soothing relief. Why Is the Skin Barrier So Important? The skin reacts to everything happening around it. Stress, air pollution, UV radiation, cold weather, or unsuitable cosmetics can disrupt its protective function. The result is dryness, redness, burning sensations, or breakouts. That’s why it’s important for us to develop products that strengthen the skin barrier and help keep the skin healthy and resilient. The Power of Our Calendula The calendula we use is grown by us on organic fields in South Moravia. It is a rare variety called Plamen Plus, bred as early as 1942 specifically for cosmetic purposes. Hand-harvested flowers ensure a maximum concentration of active compounds and thus the highest quality of our products. We continue this tradition with respect and love for nature. Our Complete Skincare Ritual Our new products fit beautifully into the PURITY VISION® five-step ritual, which helps keep the skin healthy, balanced, and ready to face everyday stress. 1. Cleansing Start with double cleansing. First, use an oil, balm, or gel to dissolve makeup, SPF, and oil-based impurities. Then follow with the Bio Calendula Cleansing Foam, which gently removes dust, sweat, and water-soluble impurities. The skin remains fresh, hydrated, and ready for the next steps. 2. Toning The skin needs its pH balanced and pores gently tightened. A toner or booster refreshes the skin, delivers the first dose of hydration, and prepares it to absorb active ingredients. 3. Extra Nourishment This is where our Bio Calendula Protective Serum comes in. It strengthens the skin barrier, soothes redness, and supports skin regeneration. This step is key if you want to restore strength and balance to the skin. 4. Hydration Floral water provides instant refreshment and creates the perfect base for oil or cream. It also helps lock in moisture, preventing a greasy feel after applying facial oil or cream. 5. Nutrition Finish with a facial oil or cream to deeply nourish the skin, deliver essential nutrients, and protect it throughout the day. The skin will remain smooth, fresh, and radiant.

NEW – Double Cleansing: The Most Important Step in Your Skincare Routine

NEW – Double Cleansing: The Most Important Step in Your Skincare Routine

Cleansing the skin is often underestimated. In the morning, we just quickly rinse it with water, and in the evening we sometimes don’t feel like removing our makeup. Sounds familiar? Be careful! Proper cleansing is the most important step in your skincare routine – it is the foundation for healthy, radiant skin and for skincare products to truly work. Even the most expensive serums and creams with the best active ingredients have no chance to be effective if the skin is not properly cleansed – their effectiveness is significantly reduced and, in essence, it’s money wasted. Why You Should Never Skip Double Cleansing Double cleansing is not just for makeup lovers. Even if you’re not wearing makeup in the evening, your skin still needs to be freed from sebum, sweat, and airborne impurities that have settled on it throughout the day. These layers create a kind of barrier that prevents active ingredients in skincare from penetrating the skin. Only after double cleansing do the pores open and the skin becomes ready to absorb everything you apply. How to Do Double Cleansing 1️⃣ First Step – Oil Balm, Cleansing Gel or Cleansing Oil The first phase of double cleansing focuses on dissolving makeup, SPF products, excess sebum, and other impurities. An oil balm or cleansing oil works as the first “deep-cleaning step” that prepares the skin for the second phase. Without it, the second step alone would not be sufficient, as water-based products cannot effectively remove oil-based residue. 2️⃣ Second Step – Foam The second step removes remaining impurities, sweat, and residues from the first phase. After this step, the skin is clean, fresh, and perfectly prepared for toning and for absorbing active ingredients from serums, oils, and creams. 💡 TIP: In the morning, one step is often enough – foam, balm, or cleansing gel – to remove sebum, impurities, and residues from overnight regeneration. 🌿 Complete Skincare Routine To ensure your double cleansing truly delivers results, we recommend following this routine: Step 1 – CleansingFirst phase: Apply a small amount of balm (pea-sized) to dry skin and gently massage for about 60 seconds until makeup and impurities dissolve. Add a little water – the balm will transform into a gentle milky emulsion. Rinse thoroughly or remove with a damp towel. Second phase: Apply cleansing foam to damp skin, gently massage for 60 seconds, and rinse with water. The skin is now clean, fresh, and ready for the next steps.Tip: In your morning routine, only one cleansing phase is sufficient – a cleansing gel, balm, or foam. Step 2 – ToningAfter cleansing, use a toner or facial booster to gently tighten pores and prepare the skin for better absorption of active ingredients from subsequent products. You can also apply the toner to a damp cotton pad and gently refine cleansing. Step 3 – Extra NourishmentApply a few drops of serum to cleansed and toned skin and gently massage in. The skin receives an extra dose of nourishment and active ingredients absorb more effectively. Step 4 – HydrationUse a floral water to hydrate the skin and prepare it for facial oil. Step 5 – NutritionApply a cream or facial oil for intensive nourishment and skin protection. The skin will be soft, supple, and radiant. Step 6 – SPF Protection (Morning Routine)Finish your morning skincare routine by applying a cream with SPF to protect the skin from the harmful effects of the sun.
