How To Deal With Ingrown Hairs?

Question by Renting Emotion♥: How To Deal With Ingrown Hairs?
I wax practically every part of my body, and I get ingrown hairs on my legs and pubic region. (Been waxing for 6 years now)

I’ve tried:
-Exfoliating
-Moisturizing
-Hot wax
-Cold wax
-Wax strips
-Liquid Wax
-Crystal Wax
-Alcohol swabs
-Lemon
-Baby Powder
-Creams & Washes
-Waxes at the hair dresser doesn’t help
-Waxes at beauty salons don’t help
-Mens wax don’t help
-I do use “Brazilian” wax for the Brazilian area, and leg wax for the legs.. If I use the brazilian wax on anything other than that region, I end up with fierce blood spots =S

Does any one have a special way to deal with their ingrown hairs?
Lazer hair treatment doesn’t help it btw and I can’t shave.

Salycilic acid after waxing. Keep using it for a while after but not a few days before your next appointment, it’ll tear your skin. Use a light, non oily moisturizer after you apply the acid.
