"  Reason No. 8,000 why we love Les Miserables star Amanda Seyfried: She&amp;#039;s not afraid to talk about the not-so-awesome parts of life. Case in point? The actress revealed in a recent interview that she deals with razor burn and ingrown hairs, too. &amp;quot;Yes, I have parts of my body that I don&amp;#039;t necessarily love,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;Like I have red bumps around my bikini line.&amp;quot; Ugh, those little red bumps are the worst. Our 2013 goal is to banish the redness for good, so we asked dermatologist Ariel Ostad, MD, for a few tips.  &amp;quot;First, exfoliate to avoid build up of dead skin cells,&amp;quot; he advises. Then, use products containing salicylic acid like a Tend Skin. We can vouch for this one. Tend Skin helps keep swelling and infection down, much like acne meds do for breakouts on your face. It does dry out the skin, though. Dr. Ostad also recommends asking your dermatologist for topical antibiotics to reduce redness and infection. If all else fails, consider laser hair removal. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s the most effective and lost-lasting solution,&amp;quot; Dr. Ostad says. Be sure you talk to your doctor before plunking down the cash, though: Lasers don&amp;#039;t work on all skin types. And, yeah, they&amp;#039;re more expensive. Want more from Meagan?
