10 Home Remedies For Ingrown Hairs
Home Remedy #5: Cucumber
Cucumber plants bear fruits, which we also know as cucumbers, although this fruit tends to be used more like a vegetable. It originates from South Asia but has since been exported and is grown commercially worldwide. It is often eaten just as it is, but is also pickled and eaten as gherkins.
Cucumbers have a very high water content and are able to hydrate the skin. They are also able to help overcome the irritation of ingrown hairs thanks to their anti-inflammatory properties. To use them, simply take a fresh slice of chilled cucumber and rub it on the affected area. Do this for several days and your symptoms should hopefully begin to subside.
