Review - Tend Skin Part 2

Well, it's been a week and a half since I started using Tend Skin to free some ingrown hairs. Today, waxing day. It's painful, uncomfortable and expensive, so why do we do it??? Well, everyone has their reasons. It says you can apply Tend Skin shortly after waxing. So I did. Ouch. Stiiiiiiings!!! And the smell still bothers me. But, the wax bumps are gone after an hour :) Now, I will have to see if it prevents new ingrown hairs forming... Watch this space for the results in another week and a half..

Review - Tend Skin Liquid PART 1

I have been suffering from ingrown hairs since I started epilating. Some people say epilators make them worse, but I swapped to waxing and they are still really bad. My theory is that any means that pull hair out I think will cause them. Anyway, I decided to try Tend Skin Liquid which claims to make ingrown hairs and nasty shaving bumps disappear. It isn't cheap, it retails for about £12 a bottle of 118ml, so it better be good, I thought.

When I first opened the bottle, OMG, the smell.. :( It is hideous. No, really, it is. It has a pungent vinegar-y medical smell, almost like a worse version of Salubrin (it's Swedish cure-all liquid that you were tortured with as a kid for everything from midge bites to sunburn). It stings a tiny bit in any open, sore ingrown hair bits (if you have them you will know that its almost impossible not to pick at them). The smell faded away a bit once the liquid has dried on. But sitting at my desk in the office, I could still smell it vaguely on my skin 5 hours later. After 2 applications, the red bumps have faded down from in your face angry to more pink, so here is hoping that a week of this will remove them :) I will keep you updated on how this have worked in a weeks time!
