I get a considerable ammount of ingrown hairs when I shave, with some being quite nasty (very inflamated and sensitive, laser is out of reach for now, I was considering waxing and epilation but still a out of reach now, I mostly want a way to help prevent ingrown hairs from appearing in the first place or making them go away faster

I've tried both physical and chemical exfoliation and found that neither seems to help with ingrown hairs.

I'm also hoping that someone here might know some solutions

I tried physical exfoliation and it just made my skin so dry, even with mostirizer, it seem like it helped a bit with the ingrown hairs
