"So you need a good way to prevent facial ingrown hair. My name is Sylvia Russell and I'm going to show you how to prevent in grown facial hair. Make sure you have a hot towel. Make sure it is damp, place it in your microwave for one to two minutes. Be sure it is not too hot, you don't want to burn yourself. Take your warm cloth and apply it directly to the areas that are going to be shaved or that you are going to remove hair. What this is going to do is it is going to help to open up the pores, soften the facial hair so that when you do shave the hair is completely removed, nothing is left behind. It is very important that we do this because when we don't, hair can backfire on you, go into the skin and create a razor bump or an ingrown hair. So remember use a nice hot towel. It is also very comforting. Place it on the skin for at least 30 seconds making sure to open up the pores and that the skin is moist. I know that this is something you can do at home. You don't need very many items. My name is Sylvia Russell and this is how you can prevent ingrown hair."
