Ingrown hairs

When ever I go to get a bikini wax I end up with loads of ingrown hairs. I know how to get them out, but some just dont want to come out and turn into what looks like spots. Is there anyway I could prevent them happening at all?
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    At the risk of sounding stupid, what exsactly is exfoliating?

    When you exfoliate, you're rubbing off all the dead skin cells with an abrasive surface - I have special gloves (from the body shop) you put them on, put on some shower gel and rub your whole body, paying particular attention to elbows, knees etc.
    Another way to exfoliate is to use body scrub. Clinique do a wonderfully fantastic exfoliating scrub in a big tub, I recommend it to anyone!!

    Oh, and always moisurize after exfoliating!!!

    tend skin

    Brilliant stuff. I've not had any problems after shaving since using this. Takes away any itchiness or ingrown hair problems. Bit expensive but does last for ages.

    very rarely. I too thought it was a bit of a con when reading some girlie mag or other about it but i'm quite impressed really. <-- this in itself is a shocker as i'm a right moaning old bag usually. :)

    so does it just prevent them, or also clear up existing ones?

    Both i believe. I started using it when i was having a good day and didn't have any so not sure about clearing them up.
