What do you use to exfoliate between waxes?

[Honeybee]

Hello!

I'm looking for some recommendations for the most effective way to exfoliate my legs in between waxes to avoid ingrown hairs. Due to the stupid thick hair on my legs, the hairs tend to get very ingrown a couple of weeks after I wax. My skin gets very irritated - sore and itchy. It's very annoying - my legs look nice for two weeks, then awful for about a month until I can wax again.

I think I need a good exfoliating regime.

I'm wondering if the best thing is to get something like an exfoliating mitt, then do I use it with a something like an exfoliating scrub as well?

Any good brands for mitts or scrubs?

Any hints appreciated!

Anyone? This feels kind of like being left hanging after a high five Maybe it was a stupid question.

Hi! Just saw your post! Ok here is the lowdown from me as a beauty therapist!
1. get any old exfoliating mitt (they are $2 at the cheapie shops)
2. I use an organic lemon myrtle scrub to exfoliate
3. I also use and recommend a specific product for the treatment of ingrown hairs PM me if you want the name of it
Hope that helps!

Thanks Joeve!! Will PM you regarding the ingrown hairs product. I'm hoping if I scrub the heck out of them, the ingrowns won't develop in the first place.

Also, make sure you moisturise every day as this softens the skin and thus allows the hairs to poke through without resistance. It also means that instead of hairs breaking when waxed (quicker regrowth), they are pulled right out and you should have smooth legs rather than still *****ly ones, if that makes sense? Perhaps a better way to say it is moisturiser is like conditioner to leg hair so they're less brittle...

Thanks Chocolatecatty, looks like I'm going to have to add a few more steps to my routine! Will be worth it to have nicer looking legs for longer though.
