Inhibitif - Hair reduction

Hair is always a tricky subject. We have it, but we removed it by waxing, shaving, using creams and never really talking about it. Whilst I'm not a hairy person, I am fond of anything that prolongs the smooth effect and the chore of hair removal.


So, trialling Inhibitif has been nothing but a pleasure. I am two weeks from shaving (I KNOW. EW) however, whilst I am waiting for my first summer time wax, hair is taking its sweet time in growing back, I would normally get a week - tops without taking a razor to my legs, hair is also growing back finer. Finer hair means no fuzz and no itch, which in my books, is always something to rave about. I have used this everywhere, from my legs to my underarms and can't fault it.

Hair Reduction – Check
No nasty smells (it smells minty but fades quickly) – Check
Quick drying time – Check
Quick results - Check


Whilst it does require some time investment (2 months), if you start something today, in the days to come it becomes routine and before you know if you’re got results! Applying every day for two months seems like a small price to pay for hair free legs. I can see this working an absolute dream with waxing, as waxing causes hair to be finer and grow back slower. Summer (I hope) is just round the corner and my winter investment will sure pay off! I have stocked up, because as you can see it’s running a little low. A little bottle also goes a very long way, I have been using this in conjunction with an ingrown hair fixer and my legs have never looked better!

Lycon - Ingrown X-it

Now ladies, we have all experienced the dreaded ingrown hair at some point, from waxing or shaving and we're always told to exfoliate, exfoliate, and exfoliate! However contrary to popular belief, exfoliating can also have the opposite effect, causing hairs to fall deeper into the skin, or even causing infection if we scrub to hard - but there is not pressure gauge to monitor how hard we are to scrub. 



Lycon (if you don’t know the Lycon brand find out more here) has this product called Ingrown X-it designed to rid you of ingrown hairs, without damaging the skin. Containing Salicylic acid, Allantoin and Arnica, put these altogether and you get one product that sure packs a punch when it comes to saying goodbye to ingrown hairs for good! Safe to use all over the body from legs, to bikini line, even on the face. Did you know that if you cross your legs you’re more likely to get in grown hairs on the side your leg rests on because of the friction this causes?

This product comes in a spray making easy to apply and control the amount used, it soothes ingrowns, taking away that uncomfortable itch, decreases the redness and decongests the skin helping to relieve all symptoms and the appearance of even the angriest of ingrown hairs. 

I have been using this religiously for two months, and it’s safe to say my ingrown issue has gone. I would recommend this to every waxer or shaver to use daily. I saw significant improvement after two weeks and the improvements have continued. 

I use it every day after waxing for two weeks, then every other day after that, used with a regular gentle exfoliating routine this is definitely a must have product. An absolute essential before beach season, Ingrowns can ruin a bikini bod no matter how hard you crunch, plank or run!

I purchased mine at Strip wax bar in Soho, they have locations all over the place so you can pick one up from a store here or online at www.stripboutique.com
