tend skin?

[dr0832]

I have shaved my chest a few times and I got very bad ingrown hairs everywhere. I don;t really get them when I shave my abdomen. I have read about this stuff tend skin. What I am wondering is how long a bottle of this lasts if you shave daily. Its abot 20$ a bottle which is pretty expensive so if a bottle lasts a week I would have to forget this.

never used it.. some people on the board liked it... i'm a firm believer that if you shave

a. in the shower
b. after exfoliating
c. in the direction of the growth
d. with a HIGH quality gel/cream

that you will not have irritation or ingrowns.

I have read all about this tend skin stuff.

I have very sensitive skin- I get more razor burns than ingrown hairs, but it works for both.

Each application is very minimal, the instructions say to make sure you don't use very much each time. I agree it is expensive, but supposedly 1 bottle will last 5-6 months.

I would say even if you used it more than average person it would last at least 3 months. 6.50 a month isn't too bad to get rid of fucking razor burn and ingrown hairs, IMO.

It's basically salicylic acid and it was way to harsh for my skin. You could do a home made version by dropping aspirin (salicylic acid) into a bottle of witch hazel......much cheaper and you can make it as strong as you like by adjusting the amount of aspirin you add....or heck try the witch hazel straight, that works best for me.

seems to me that excessive drying in the shaving area (due to saly.. acid) would actually cause more irritation =/

i use a 100% witch hazel toner sometimes.

All I know is people who have claimed that nothing ever helped them until they tried tend skin.

I haven't personally used it yet, but am about to order some to test it out probably after thanksgiving.

Ill let ya know how it works for my pussy ass sensitive skin.

well for 6.50, anythign is worth a try.

ginger please check your PMs

I have used which hazel and it does nothing for me, and salyic acid does nothing either. I have not used them together.

 

[dr0832]

its not $6.50. Cheapest I can find is 20$ + shipping and thats for 4 damn ounces. where did you find it for 6.50? This shits very expensive.

 

[chewyxrage]

read my earlier I post.

I said if the bottle lasts 3 months that would be about $6.50 a month.

 

[dr0832]

oh my bad. Well thats if it works. If it doesn't then there goes 20+shipping and I am poor right now so every dollar counts. I highly doubt a 4 oz. bottles gonna last 3 months however unless your putting it on your nuts. I know on my chest its gonna take a lot of that shit. But I am thinking I am gonna try to make some first. If its just alcohol, asprin, and salyic acid thats pretty easy to make.

guess I'm one of those lazy poor college kids.
