Outward, Not Inward

All men have this issue, African American men have it worse than others–ingrown hairs. Seems like a small issue, right? WRONG! Ingrown hairs can often cause pain, infection and scarring. After doing some reading on the matter, I found out the issue is so bad that about 20 years ago the U.S. Army changed their policy for African American men and shaving. So here is what you do to combat the issue: make sure you use a polishing scrub or a glycolic facial cleanser before you shave. This will help you quite a bit. There are lots of wonderful products out there by Anthony Logistics For Men & Menscience. For the darker skin tones, Ikhala also carries a great pre-shaving scrub.
