Step 2:

The shave

Ingrown hairs are caused when a strong hair curls back on itself and fails to penetrate the outside of the skin. Many ingrowing hairs can be avoided by shaving carefully. Watch VideoJug's "How to wet shave" for more information on how to shave properly.

Step 3:

Use facial scrub

Once a week, rinse your face with warm water to soften the skin and open pores. Apply the facial scrub to the beard area in a circular motion, emphasising the line of the beard around your neck. This circular motion will massage the skin and free up any trapped hairs. Continue applying until the scrub is dry.

Step 4:

Apply moisturiser

The facial scrub will remove a layer of dead skin cells, and some of the skins natural oils. Rinse your face, then apply a moisturiser to the beard area. This will replace these natural oils and soothe the skin.

Done.
