Testimonials
I used to get so embarrassed putting on a bathing suit as I had the worst bikini line ingrown hairs...thanks to Follique, I worry no more!   

I shave my head and use the Shave-Aid bump fighter to keep it looking shiny and smooth & no longer get hair growth skin irritation. 

Follique Original is my first choice for my bikini area and underarms and the roll on is less drying for my legs.  I shave and use it a few times a week.

I used to always get small little bumps when my hair would grow back in before my next waxing appointment.  The hair was so fine it couldn't break through the skin.  Follique works great to exfoliate the area and let my hair growth occur as it should.

I get shaving bumps almost every time I shave my face, but now that I have discovered Follique, I have this issue under control.

I had to work my way up to using Follique on my neck and face as it dried my face out too much at first, however, using a small amount on the actual bump has over time allowed me to apply more generously to my face, with out as much caution.

The Shave-Aid Razor Bump Fighter is my first choice as it is gentler than the Follique and my skin is sensitive.

Clinical Background & Usage

Many men and women (mainly those with coarse, curly hair) suffer from a common condition know as pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB), commonly known as razor bumps and ingrown hairs.  

PFB is a clinical syndrome caused by close shaving of curly hair. Because the inherent curvature of the hair follicle in persons with tight coiling hair is sharpened by the shaving process, it acts like a sharp hook, and penetrates the superficial surface of the skin, resulting in a splinter-like foreign body reaction in the deeper layers of the skin. In men, the condition commonly affects the anterior neckline, the chin, and maxillary prominence of the cheeks. In women, the condition commonly affects the legs, under arms, and bikini area. If not managed appropriately, this relatively benign process can leave life-long pigmentary changes and/or disfiguring hypertrophic or keloidal scarring.

Causes

PFB occurs when a hair (often sharpened after shaving), pierces and enters the skin adjacent to the follicle, causing inflammation and a foreign body reaction.  OUCH!  Similarly, when a hair curls back onto itself prior to exiting the epidermis it often forms an ingrown hair, which, like a razor bump, causes inflammation and a foreign body reaction.

Prevention

The only 100% effective way to prevent PFB is to stop shaving.  Once hairs reach a certain length, they will no longer have the necessary rigidity to pierce the adjacent skin.  But for most people, simply not shaving or removing hair is not a viable option.

Men - Using Follique & Shave-Aid


The simple shave that leaves you refreshed is a quality shave. Shaving shouldn't be rushed. Shave right after taking a warm shower. Wet your face with warm water and massage Shave-Aid Shave Cream into your beard. Use a clean razor with short strokes, shave with the grain of the hair growth, stretching skin with your free hand to create a smooth surface. As soon as you've finished shaving, thoroughly rinse your face with cold water and pat dry completely. This calms the skin and closes pores. Spot treat areas that have razor bumps or ingrown hairs with Shave-Aid Razor Bump Fighter. Then apply Shave-Aid After shave Moisturizer, to lock in moisture and protect the skin.

Women - How to Use Follique for Ingrown Hairs & Shaving Bumps

Razor bumps and ingrown hairs can be caused by hair follicles (often sharpened after shaving), piercing and entering the skin adjacent to the follicle, causing inflammation and a foreign body reaction. Ingrown hairs are also caused by waxing, suraring and other forms of hair removal. As the hair weakens it is less able to break through the skin, causing an ingrown hair.

After Shaving

For best results, use Follique on dry skin after shaving. Use Follique Nourishing Body Lotion to lock in moisture.
