Quick Fix for Skin Woes

Tendskin is a longtime beauty-insider favorite for both men and women.  This liquid miracle quickly and effectively treats a host of skin problems.  While it was designed to be used after hair removal to prevent and cure razor bumps, razor burn, and ingrown hairs, many Tendskin-fans in the know also use it to treat acne.  Unlike most acne-treatment formulas that dry the skin and cause more irritation, Tendskin is very gentle.  If you get occasional spots, you can apply this product twice daily and it will eliminate most breakouts within a few days.  The same formula that makes it to effective to treat bumps and ingrown hairs on the face, bikini line, or legs makes it an acne-slayer.  The secret ingredient?  Liquid aspirin.  When used with the salicylic acid and isopropyl alcohol, the aspirin works to magically quell redness, irritation, and inflammation in the skin FAST.  Best of all, the liquid dries quickly and smoothly, without leaving a film or stickiness on the skin like most acne spot-treatment products.  Simply swipe the product on the skin with clean hands or a cotton-ball in any area where you have or are prone to get acne, razor bumps, or ingrown hairs.

You can use it occasionally as needed, especially after shaving, waxing, or electrolysis.  For you men out there who have facial-skin sensitivity after shaving, you will LOVE this lightweight non-irritating formula.  Despite some of the hardcore astringent ingredients like the alcohol and salicylic acid, the aspirin actually makes this product very soothing.  You can also use it every day, which is what I recommend for preventative maintenance if you're prone to ingrown hairs in particular.  Annoying ingrown hairs often emerge as the hair follicles are growing back after shaving or waxing, so using it only after hair removal won't work very well to prevent them.  But after using this product every day for a full hair-growth cycle, you will see a marked improvement.  I have heard that the same is true for those with moderate to severe acne: every day use will help prevent new breakouts.  I would caution that even though this product is fairly gentle, it still has a laundry list of astringent ingredients that strip the skin of moisture, so if you to use this product on your skin every day, be sure to use a good moisturizer to restore hydration and prevent aging. 


At $20 for a 4 oz bottle and $50 for the jumbo-size 16 oz bottle that will last you a long time, you'll find this a worthwhile investment whether you use it occasionally or everyday.  Get it at Sephora, ULTA, and most fine salons that offer waxing and electrolysis.
