Ingrown hairs after 40 (why they happen + how to fix them)

If you struggle with ingrown hairs, razor bumps, or irritation after shaving or waxing — especially after 40 — you’re not alone. As skin changes in midlife, it becomes more delicate and cell turnover slows, which can make hair removal more irritating than it used to be. In this video, licensed esthetician Sylvie from Beauty by the Sea Boutique in Bandon, Oregon explains the products she recommends to clients to help prevent ingrown hairs and support the skin barrier. These are the Fur body care products she carries in her boutique and often recommends for clients dealing with irritation, bumps, or rough texture after hair removal. Rather than over-scrubbing or using harsh treatments, the goal is to support the skin barrier, gently exfoliate, and condition both the skin and the hair so it can grow out normally. ⸻ Products Mentioned All Body Wash https://www.beautybytheseabandon.com/...
