Ingrown hairs, often referred to as razor bumps, is a condition where growing hair curls around and grows back into the skin. The most common symptom of ingrown hairs is itchiness and inflammation of the skin in localized small bumps. Sometimes the ingrown hair can be seen curled beneath the swelling. Ingrown hairs usually affect underarms, legs and the bikini line in women. For men, the prime areas for ingrown hairs and razor bumps are the face (beard) and neck. Ingrown hairs are more likely in individuals with naturally curly hair.
What Causes Ingrown Hairs?
Hair removal is really the major cause of ingrown hairs, with shaving being the method most likely to result in ingrown hairs. The problem starts when the hair is cut too short or just below the surface of the skin. When the hair begins to grow back it can curl and twist around and start to grow inside the hair follicle and get trapped. As the hair continues to grow the hair follicle may become infected, resulting in a red, itchy bump on the surface of the skin. New Hairs and dead skin cells can also get trapped in the hair follicle and cause a condition with symptoms similar to ingrown hairs. Read Tips for Preventing Ingrown Hairs.

Discover the Secret of Beautiful Skin.
Collagen is one of the most important proteins found in the human body and together with Elastin, provides the skin with strength and elasticity, it repairs and a regenerate skin cells and keeps them moist and supple. Collagen is also the main component found in connective tissue, tendons, cartilage, bone and teeth.
While young, our collagen retains all of its moisturising properties and the skin appears smooth and soft with a healthy complexion. By the age of 45 collagen levels can have fallen by as much as 30%. The external effects of this process are the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and drier skin.
Collagen-based skin care products and collagen supplements have terrific anti-ageing benefits, and with regular use can dramatically reduce wrinkles and fine lines. Collagen supplements can also be beneficial to help ease the symptoms of arthritis as well as thicken hair and strengthen brittle nails. Collagen injection treatments are cosmetic procedures that can temporarily replenish the skin’s collagen to plump up lips and smooth out facial lines and wrinkles.
One of the most powerful anti-ageing skin care treatments currently available is a skin care range developed by a team of leading dermatologists. This state of the art skin care system is packed with soluble marine collagen and other vital nutrients to rejuvenate and revitalise mature, prematurely aged, dehydrated and sun-damaged skin.

Clear Away Dark Under Eye Circles
Dark under eye circles can make you look tired, stressed, sick, and even considerably older. Most people associate the purplish bags under the eyes as a symptom of tiredness, worries, stress and sleepless nights. These rings of puffiness around the eyes are usually a direct result of sluggish circulation resulting in less oxygenated blood and hence a bluish appearance. However, some people suffer from dark brown blackish circles under the eyes quite different from the purplish bags one usually encounters. This permanent discolouration is caused by the ineffective breakdown or cleaning up of the blood that has leaked out of the fragile micro capillaries under the eye.
Skin Doctors, renowned for their cosmeceutical breakthroughs, have developed an under eye circle cream based around a remarkable new matrikine pepetide called Haloxyl™. Haloxyl helps to break down and clear away degraded red cells that cause dark under eye circles. It also helps to strengthen the skin density, as the skin in the eye area is very fine.
