It seems like in the last few years many ingrown hair products have hit the market because of the common struggle with this lovely side effect after removing hair. Since we’re all pinching our pennies these days, you’ll be happy to know that there are several ways to make your own
ingrown hair home remedies, with some ingredients that you probably already have in your cupboard like salt, sugar and aspirin. Aspirin? Yes, you’ll see why most retail hair removal products contain it.

The Art of Shaving specializes in high quality shaving products, my favorite shaving cream is their Shaving Cream for Women (
read review), and my husband The Art of Shaving Cream for Men (
read review). Right now they have some travel kits, razors, accessories and badger brushes
30% - 50% off. A good find is a
starter Hypoallergenic shaving kit for $25, regularly $38. I will warn you that their prices are high, but they do make some wonderful products- if you can afford it.

What might work out for shaving your legs or face in terms of products could be a whole other story when using them on your bikini area. Razor burn, major irritation, itching and ingrown hairs are all big possibilities when tackling your bikini hair. This zone requires special care that your basic razor and cream just can't handle.
Fortunately, I get to try some of the best products around. Check out my favorites in the
Top 10 bikini shaving products, for smoother skin and longer lasting results.

Preserve Razors, the Greener Way to Shave

What was used to hold your yogurt yesterday becomes transformed to help shave your legs today. Since 2001
Preserve has been collecting cups and scrap plastic from the nearby Stonyfield’s manufacturing facility and turning them into useful everyday items like toothbrushes, tongue cleansers and razors- instead of the plastic pouring into landfills.
The Preserve triple razor (compare prices), has an ergonomic handle made 100% from recycled plastic, titanium coated blades with vitamin E and aloe moisturizing strips. While they have their own blades, the handle works with Personna, Acti-Flexx and Gilette Sensor blades. When you’ve worn out the handles, drop it off anywhere in your community that accepts #5 plastic. Don't worry if there isn't a facility nearby, Preserve offers a postage-paid label for you to send it back to them that can be printed from your computer, for it to be recycled once again.
Preserve products can be found at Target, Trader Joe’s and Whole Food Markets. Find a
retailer near you.
