Ingrown hairs, commonly known as razor bumps, are hairs that have curled around and grown back into the skin instead of rising up from it. Baking soda has a soothing effect on the skin due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Plus, it helps relieve itching by exfoliating the skin and also reduces redness caused by ingrown hairs.
Directions: Take one tbsp of baking soda and mix with one cup of water. Take a cotton ball and dip in it. Dab gently on the affected area. Leave it for at least five minutes and then wash it off with cold water. Make a homemade scrub while putting one tsp of baking soda and ground oatmeal with one tbsp of water. Mix them well together until it turns into a thick paste. Apply it smoothly on the skin and leave it for five minutes only. After that rinse it off with lukewarm water. Follow this remedy twice daily as required. Visible results in less than one week.
