How To Prevent Strawberry Skin and Ingrown Hair When Using the Skin SonicUpdated 9 months ago

At Bleame, your skin's well-being is our priority, and we’re here to ensure you get your glow on with the smoothest, most fabulous skin with the Bleame™ Skin Sonic! So let's tackle those pesky strawberry skin and ingrown hair concerns together with these top tips:



Before Using the Skin Sonic

  • Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate a day or two before using your Skin Sonic to remove dead skin cells and unclog hair follicles. This reduces the chances of ingrown hairs and ensures a smoother hair removal experience. 
  • Keep your skin hydrated: Take a warm, cozy bath or shower to soften hair and quench your skin's thirst before the hair removal process. Happy, hydrated skin is much less likely to get irritated.



During the Hair Removal Process

  • Move the Skin Sonic in the direction of hair growth. Not against it. 
  • Gentle Movement: Be kind to your skin by using the Skin Sonic with gentle and controlled movements. Smooth and easy does it to keep those strawberries away.
  • Pace Yourself: Avoid skin overwhelm by letting it breathe between sessions. Waiting 48 hours is generally the way to go, but if your skin is feeling extra delicate, extend the interval to 72 hours or more.



After Using the Skin Sonic

  • Post-Hair Removal Care: Continue to treat your skin like royalty after using hair removal by applying a soothing, fragrance-free lotion or moisturizer with aloe vera or chamomile. 
  • Comfortable Clothing: Opt for loose and comfortable clothing immediately after hair removal. Wearing tight clothes can cause friction and lead to discomfort (and strawberry situations).
  • Exfoliate, Gently: Make this a part of your skincare routine to effectively keep dead skin cells at bay. But remember, always be gentle.
  • Avoid Excess Touching: We know it's tempting, but avoid excessive touching of the treated area. Let your skin breathe and relax to avoid irritation and ingrown hairs. Allowing breathing room yields better results!
