Exfoliating inhibits ingrown hairs by softening the skin and removing dead cells, so new hair grows smoothly through the skin's surface. This cosmetic practice also reduces debris that could clog pores. Exfoliating creams, gels, and masks are widely available for purchase, and it is also easy to make your own at home using sugar or salt and oils.
