Prevention
The easiest way to prevent ingrown whiskers is not to shave, but to simply shorten the beard. However, this is not an option for many men. It is helpful to shave the hairs only in the direction of growth, because then the beard hairs are not directed in another direction.
But since this does not achieve the same result of smooth skin as shaving against the direction of growth, this is often not feasible either. The facial skin should be cared for regularly, so that it has enough moisture. Dry skin is much more sensitive to the stress of shaving.
Applying a warm, moist compress before shaving can also prevent ingrown hairs, as this opens the pores and allows the hairs to follow their correct path. Regular application of a facial scrub will open the pores and this also reduces the risk of ingrown hairs. A permanent solution to prevent in-growing hair is hair removal by laser.
