Andrea thanks for the tips! [Smile]

I was wondering about the scrubbing part, I was thinking to get a layer of dead skin off would help the tendskin get to where it needs to go and help it work better. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I'm going to use a washcloth in the morning.

I can say that after drenching my skin this morning, I'm already seeing the peeling you're talking about around some of the bumps, especially the really big ones. A couple of the big ones have gone flat, and gone from red or pink to white, and there is some flakes.

That's a positive.

We'll see what happens after two weeks!

I found that the best way to apply Tend Skin is with a sponge applicator like what you would use to paint something. It's something like a foam paint brush. It works great for covering large areas like the chest or legs.

Edge Pro Gel, tough beard formula also works very good and it is cheap. If you shave in the shower some body washes work very well. Suave Moisturizing Body Wash (white bottle) works great and is very cheap. Dove Body Wash is very good also.

If you're looking for a clear, non-foaming shave gel try Air Shave, which is also made by Tend-Skin. It works very well but is rather expensive.

Thanks RJC.

I think somebody mentioned this before, but my recommendation is to make sure you wear shorts while applying Tend Skin.

I spilled just like two drops on my nether region and GOOD LAWD did it BURRRRNNNNNNN... [Eek!] [Embarrassed]

It definitely hurts if you get any Tend Skin down there. That happened to me too and the pain was so bad I thought I was going to barf. Took about 15 minutes for the pain to subside.

Tend Skin may bleach clothes too so be careful. Also I don't know if this is common knowledge but Tend Skin also acts like a sunscreen. If you apply it as late as a day before you go out in the sun you will notice less tanning and or burning where you applied it. It acts like a SPF 4 to SPF 6.

Hi, everyone. I recently purchased the Emjoi Classic hair remover from QVC. It worked fine, but of course, they don't tell you about the bumps. I mostly got it to rid myself of this menopausal hair I am getting on my face--now my face is covered with bumps. Do they go away like regular pimples? I just ordered the Tend Skin, but last night I put OXY-10 on them! Help!

I thought that rotary epilators were not supposed to be used on facial hair. I could be mistaken though.

Tend Skin works great on ingrown hairs. Severely ingrown hairs will require some patience. If you can see the hair, lift it out with a needle and yank it out with tweezers. Sterilize the needle first with 91% rubbing alcohol.

Thanks RJC, and another question for everyone. I go to the tanning room about three times a week. Should I lay off the visits temporarily, or perhaps the heat will help? Thanks! Joan

These devices should not be used on male facial hair, but there are rotary epilators designed to remove women's facial hair. My recommendation for further research would be the Braun Silk-epil Facial Hair Remover EF-20.

Tend Skin can also be great for drying up a blemish-- I had Mount St. Helebs about to erupt on my cheek the other day, but a Q-tip with a little Tend Skin cleared it up in about 30 hours! [Big Grin]

You might also try a cool damp washcloth immediately after, followed by 100% pure aloe gel (not lotion or cream, and no additives like menthol).

Definitely avoid sun or tanning beds until your face has settled down. Also, avoid makeup unitl it's not red.

Hey Ted, I remember you from the Nisim boards. Did you stop using Kalo?
