Lemon Juice
Lemon juice can be applied to the affected area and allowed to sit for five minutes before rinsing with warm water. Lemon juice is a natural astringent that can help shrink pores, dry out the area, and reduce inflammation.
According to the Mayo Clinic, a person can use lemon juice as an astringent to help treat ingrown hairs on the face, neck, and body. The acid in lemon juice helps dry out the area and tighten pores.
If a person has sensitive skin and is concerned about using lemon juice on their face, remember that lemon juice has antibacterial properties that may be beneficial for treating acne and ingrown hairs.
