A hair that grows under the surface of the skin is known as an ingrown hair. Though this does not cause too much irritation; if left uncared for it can lead to an infection. The best ways to prevent an infection from occurring is to get rid of the hair. The moment you notice the growth you must take care and remove it with caution. There is a quick and easy way to do this and if you do it the right way you will prevent it from growing back.

The first step to eliminating the hair is to gently exfoliate the area. This will ensure that the dead skin and oils and dirt are removed from the area. Eliminating the dead skin eases the process of getting rid of the hair inside the skin.

If the hair is not too deep inside the skin then merely exfoliating the skin will help to eliminate it. If it does not come out in the first try then you will need to exfoliate your skin for the next few days in order to get rid of the growth.

If the hair is deep within the skin and there is a sign of swelling on the surface then you can dab some acne medication on your skin. You can do this along with exfoliating your skin daily.

When the treatment does not work the last resort is to open the pores in order to get rid of the hair. Start with steaming your face. This can be done by boiling water and steaming your face over the pot or by dipping a towel in hot water and placing in on your face in order to open the pores. Once you have noticed the pores are open you need to use an orange stick and remove the hair from within the skin.
